    I think you misunderstand how little Brits care about European opinion.... We've had Europeans bitching about Brits for decades now so much so it's now akin to an old wife complaining about the toilet seat again

    So you are admitting that you are boring, but got upset when I said that Belgium is known as being boring...okay

    This thread is about Belgium, but you seem more interested in talking about Britain.
    Boring in comparison to, weren't you the one claiming to be a master of the english language? What happened? feeling a bit ill in the head nowadays?
    You take a jab at my nation, i take one at yours. When did you became so sensative?

    I'll gladly speak about how we are not boring, might want to take a look at our artists, food, history, culture, beer and other beverages, sports and athletes. I doubt you are actually interested in that however. Also this is thread about a belgian prince, not Belgium. You made it about Belgium, again what's happening to your reading and comprehensions skills?

    As for our international reputation, strange. Considering the river of tears about Brussels and Belgian elected officials almost weekly from your nation.

    It's more the other way around considering Europe has been the UK political class their scapegoat for easily a decade now.

    And Europeans have had a chip on their shoulder over the Empire for over a century so swings & roundabouts. As I say when you're constantly told how awful you are for your ancestors it begins to grow numb. So Brits take the piss, Europeans take the piss, we all laugh and move on to more important matters. Same applies to Brexit, we're bored of the lazy comments targetted at an entire people over a 52% result and just shrug

    When people moan about Brussels, it is in reference to the EU, not Belgians.

    And although I am no expert on the Belgian royal family, I am going to go out on a limb and say they might have something to do with Belgium.

    Also you were the one who took offence, I merely queried why you wanted to talk about Britain in a thread about Belgium.

    The royal family is not representative of the nation or even the people of the nation, so no your jab at Belgium in general was without basis.

    You may want to have a lie down, you seem overly sensitive about someone saying that Belgium has a reputation for being boring, which it does.

    Coming from someone who knows nothing about this nation. If you make a comment about something you can expect a reply back, for me that's normal.

    I know it’s boring, I’ve been there, it was boring.

    I liked Holland, that wasn’t boring. France, also not boring.

    I should put a trigger warning at the top of my posts, so as not to scare the easily offended.

    If you are this sensitive, perhaps the internet is not the place for you.

    Yeah, but I wanted to take the piss out of Scotland, not Norn Iron. Wales failed to qualify as well.
