Where is everybody from?

[FCB1891]

I always thought Belgium was just one of those made up places invented just for the sake of the European parliament.

...huh.

Founding member of the EU actually, but
that's ok, we can't all have a basic level of general knowledge.

/eyeroll. Would it be helpful to you if I indicate typically English humour by using [EnglishHumour] tags in future? I realise that hyperbole can be awfully subtle and difficult to spot...

No that won't be necessary. Got out of bed on the wrong foot this morning. Did realize it was just a bit of banter, no harm intended.
Apologies for the personal remark. Start over?

Not sure if my mood has cleared up enough, so I'll have Youtube lend me a hand.

You think it was funny first time around?

Thanks for sharing the video. I know a guy from Belgium..... he's awesome!

Oh... Julissa.... you found the American you were looking for. <points finger at JL>

I might have just finished binge-watching the entirety of "Yes Minister!" right before posting it the first time.

So yes, of course it was funny first time. In the 1980s.

Comedy from the 80s usually ages well. It must be the conversion to text on a screen that made it falter - hence my Youtube post from Hitch Hiker's.

What part of NJ?

The green part of Budd Lake.

Cool, I think I know the area you mean. I used to spend some time out in that part of the state back when my son was playing travel soccer. He's in college now.

Howdy, (relative) neighbor.
