I take my agenda and let's make some appointments and we'll take that good'ol Volkswagen van you stuck away in Amsterdam on the road again! ...the tha long and windy Belgian Beer road!

Paul - I always found it amusing that the Belgian Tourist Office in Brussel hands out booklets for various beer-drinking DRIVING tours! :-)
Route de Geuze, Route de Hoppe, etc. IIRC.
Imagine all these tourists careening through the Belgian countryside, brouwerie to brouwerie !

Congratulations on the gainful employment

Hey guys,.....I want to go! Pleeeaase? I spent three months in Pirmasens,Germany and drank mostly brews from the Parkbrau Brewery(brouwerie?). The pilsner is crisp and flavorful but the Hefeweizen is fantastic!

I don't know about a bier und bratwurst tour with 3 bassists - one Canadian,one American and a Belgian (!) - in a Westfalia!

Grolsch has just started selling their own line of Hefenweizen beer, here in Holland. Refreshing, really excellent especially when the weather is good to us - like it has these last few days.

My sister bought me a coupoe of bottles of St Adriaan's blond abbey beer in Belgium. Pretty nice too - nice and spicy, not sweet at all.

Hey Frank,3 bassists from 3 different countries on a food and drink crawl, trouble perhaps? naaaahhh... International scandal maybe! What would the officials think w/ 3 guys armed w/ Super Filters & wheat beer? Yeeeehaaw!

Thanks Moder!
THanks Frank!

We'll have to do that trip slowly! There is a lot to tweak and NOT at the Westfalia van!
But I promise you ...it would be amazing!

I seem to recall that there was a picture of the Westfalia posted in a previous thread.

No, I think it was the campervan at the Fur Peace tour.

Of heart congratulated with the new job! Only there what from!

Maybe e.e.cummings is designing these translators!

Sometimes when I try to be funny, I make these literal translations from English to Dutch or the other way around. Not saying I'm being anywhere near funny, but there is some degree of amusement to be had.

A proper translation would be along the lines of Congratulations on the new job! Go get 'em boy!

Still haven't found a proper translation for the Flemish lap! - unless it's duh!
