If it weren't for the fact that their beer has a very good numbing effect the place'd have nothing going for it.

Thats unfair - Bruges much be one of the nicest places I've been in Northern europe (excluding scandanavia).  I mean, there must be a bar every 100yrds .

Boy am I glad it wasn't my turn to drive on that boys weekend away

My comment was meant in jest - partially, at least. It's a great place to get mullered and a terrible place to drive through - how's that?

I once went on a day trip to Ostende and it was nice - well, the bits we could see from the bar by the harbour. That's about as far as we got, and still had a nightmare making it back to the ferry.

.. and we did go for a weekend in Brussels once. That looked good through the window of the microbrewery on the Grand Place but perhaps my enjoyment was was marred by it being the first (and last) time I experienced the ineptitude of Eurostar.

Apart from as a toddler, every time I've been to Belgium, I've ended up in a mucking fuddle.

And the best Stella I've ever tasted was the first of the day, in the bar just opposite the entrance to the stella factory...

Yep, that about sums up my experiences.

Wife beater is pretty good outside the UK. It was sprung on me by a bar owner in Aalborg once after several pints of very good real ale and I didn't object.

Belgian roads are really shitely maintained!

Same as the UK then.

I went into Sheffield for the 1st time in about 2 years last week and didnt recognise the place, but the bloody roads where still the same. :-/

I'd always heard that Belgium had a strange way of serving beer.

I have really gone off the UK brewed Stella.

..chocolate isn't bad either..

but they are truly the worst drivers in Europe.  Fortunately their number plates are quite distinctive so you can see them coming when they are over here.

Sounds like you have not had the privilage off driving in Greece or either Portugal I can assure you having driven trucks in europe for 15 years, driving in either country is a scary proposition, yes ill agree with you the belgies are bad but compared to the other 2 countries they are almost german like   ;)But then i bet most people not resident, hate driving over here espacilly the magic roundabout ( M25 )

I'm fussy on draft Stella - so many pubs now manage to make it taste like bleach, so tend to stick to bottle.  I reckon the bottle taste much better than the tins as well.

[Pitchfork]

I hear that they spread Mayonnaise on the roads as well as on their chips!

I was at university with a Greek guy.  He was a 'mature' student so always tended to drive rental vans for us as insurance was cheaper.  His standard driving mode was one hand on the steering wheel (most of the time), other hand on the horn (always...)  The abuse he dished out to other roadusers was something else.
