Creatures of the sea....

C'mon baby, I won't bite...

It has come to our attention that despite Brussels being far from the ocean, and despite the closest water mass being far from tropical, we are finding many interesting sea creatures inhabiting the Brussels night-scene. Of the many we have come across, by far the most interesting has been Shark Boy and ... The Starfish...

Shark Boy was found lurking in the murky waters of Celticas. A nightlife spot in Brussels for the weary traveller or the xpat newby (otherwise, there is no particular reason for going to a bar where your feet stick to the floor, people vomit on your jacket, or rub up so close to you that you could literally make fire from the friction...but I digress...). Shark boy was a rebound after a 5 year relationship... one of those 'I'm not sure what I'm worth on the market anymore' moments...

What started as a one night stand, turned into a 2 month 'fuck-buddy' situation. Shark Boy was an odd case; lanky yet muscular with an interesting facial bone structure, but he did introduce me to the delights of watching porn in bed, and was the first guy to ever ask me 'can I spank you?'. Well, since you asked so politely....

Now reading this you may be thinking 'what was so strange about shark boy?'.

After a few weeks of random meet-ups, one of my close friends said 'maybe this could turn into a relationship', to which I replied 'I don't think I could... he looks like a shark'. And there it was. Not only did he look like a shark, but he acted like it too...as if he was constantly hunting down his prey... they say men think about sex every 6 seconds...well this one was the Great White of sexual predators.

So just one word of warning, if you see Shark Boy lurking in the hot-spots of Brussels...GET OUT OF THE WATER :)

The EU-27 (and we ain't talkin' about Member States)

Recently my roommate posted a map of the European Union on the refrigerator. I thought this was to enhance our geography skills. He quickly corrected me that this was infact to keep track of nationalities that he has conquered.

And how many has he penetrated in his conquest? The grand total of Member States that his member has entered? mmmmmmmmm...................................................................................................................................

That would be 3.
Clearly he has some work to do.

He may have to consider lowering his bid to some of the pre-accession States.... We hear they're desperate to gain entry. So is he. Clearly this is a meeting of the minds.

We have to ask; in the welcome pack of fucking useless information thrusted upon the new Brussels arrivals, does every x-pat man slap up the map and head to Place Lux in pursuit of the famous 27? We want to know.
