the Belgium Quiz

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

Imperialistisch? Ja, klopt. Maar het is niet onze schuld dat jullie bij ons kwamen. Om eerlijk te zijn, het was beter geweest als tenminste Vlaanderen bij Nederland was gebleven, ook al had er dan politiek veel meer moeten veranderen (van alle ambtenaren was maar 3% Belg, geloof ik. Nederlanders werden bevoordeeld.) Maar denk je is in: Nederland en Vlaanderen samen: dat betekend tenminste 1 wereld beker. En 2 of meer Europacups!

Oh dat van imperialistish was maar een grapje.tja ,jullie hadden mischien nog Vlaanderen kunnen behouden als jullie niet zo'n onderdrukkend beleid gevoerd hadden in de 19de eeuw.En de wereldbeker zou niet gegarandeert zijn ,want wij zijn ook niet veel beter op het nemen van penalty's ,maar op dat gebied kunnen we niet veel slechter zijn.Maar samen zouden we wel de beste wielrenners zijn.

Cleaning up on another one (I have read Ceaser's Gallic Commentaries, in Latin), The Belgae were the bravest of the Celtae, and the most fierce in battle.

Jeez, talk about literate! I learned about this from "Asterix in Belgium"!

Brugge was the VENICE of the north.
(of... 't was the BRUGGE of the north. Ook 6 letters )

WvO, ja, misschien wel een wereldbeker of twee, maar ook had jij met belang naar WK2002 kunnen kijken...

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

Brugge was called Flanders (Vlaaderen) in the 7th century, this name was not appliled to the larger land area until the 8th or 9th century.

No, Bruges was caled the Venice of the north as sodak pointed out nicely.

The score (for now):
Joespaniel: 2,3,4 and 9 thus 4 correct
Lefty scaevola 5,10 and 11 thus 3 correct
Sodak 6,8 and 13 thus 3 correct
Skm 7 and 12 thus 2 correct
Willemvanoranje 14 thus 1 correct

You had 6 kings. Leopold I, II, II Albert I, II and Boudewijn I.

And I know Caesar's opinion as well from Asterix in Belgica. Later I read it in a translation of Caesar's book about the war in Gaul.


Zeker zouden we de beste wielrenners geweest zijn! Geen twijfel mogelijk!
En de wereldcup werd in 1974 en 1978 nog niet op penalties gewonnen, bovendien kon Neeskens ze er erg goed inrammen. Maar geloof me: in ieder geval 2 Europa cups, onze van 1988 en die finale die jullie ooit tegen Duitsland speelden (2-1 verlies) hadden we ook gewonnen.

I do wish you ppl would stop posting in another language other than English; like your Dutch (or German or whatever it is). I already know three languages in the world fairly well but Dutch is not one of them. If you want to have a private conversation, pls use PM.

Last one correct! Everybody has won ,score's are just bullsheit anyway.

Why ,is it a loss of valuable threaad space?

Now let this thread die nicely...

 

[Knight-Dragon]

So that I can read and understand what you are posting of coz. Why else could I possibly be lurking thru these forums like twice a day at least?

Amsterdam is the Venice of the north!


Or actually, Venice is the Amsterdam of the south.

Let me correct a few things in this thread :

10) How could you have different civilisation occupying Belgium ? There has been several nations or ethnic groups.
The Ethnies are the Celts, Germanic and Latin (Roman, French, Spanish) - and now Arabic .
The nations were respectively the Romans, Franks (Merovingian, Carolingian, Holy Roman Empire), Habsburg (be them Burgundese, Spanish or Austrian), France and The Netherlands.

14) Godfroid de Bouillon was Walloon, not Flemish, as Bouillon is really in the Southernmost part of Belgium, at the French border.

Now let me ask my Belgium quiz (see next thread "Belgium quiz 2" as you want to let this one die... )
