This is another seriously good eatery in Bruges. Outrageously outstanding parsley soup. I kid you not.
I bought chips in Den Haag once.4 portions says IQuote:

I broke a shoe once on my way to making a speech honouring someone who'd died in an accident. I tried to fix it with Pritt Stick but it looked like a flipping alligator as the glue had come unstuck or something.
I asked the guy driving me to walk in front so people wouldn't see me from a distance and since the ceremony was in the middle of a cloud I think I got away with it.
You gave the speech to him in person, m? :yikes:Quote:
