Wie gaat er mee/qui veut sortir?

[Joe Black]

No doubt my French will get a spelling smiley from someone, but in the interest of friendship between the Belgian communities I did my best.

In anycase, given that we now seem to have more people in this part of the woods than I can remember for a long time, and the stories of riotous parties with CUK members back in the UK, I thought I would dare to suggest the idea of a CUK drink in Brussels one evening.

What do the assorted panel think?

[Cliphead]

I no longer work in Brussels but I really enjoyed my time there. It's been a few years but where does everybody drink these days? I used to play a tune in the Wild Geese and some of the other Irish pubs, Herman the German's (Fontainebleau), Le Grand Bleu just off the top end of Avenue Louise was great for a pint and an omelette avec frites. JJ's, Rick's, the James Joyce.

Lot's of 30 something single / divorced women for the...

I am about an hour away from Brussels so could make it. Depends when and at what time. I tend to work long hours so I can get home for weekends.

Joe, I'm coming to Brussels for the next contract

Milan.

[Joe Black]

When's your current contract finishing Milan (so I have time to get a new suitcase )

Seriously though, would be nice if we could round up a few people for a couple of pints as we seem to have half a dozen or so now working or based round here.

Are you going to be commuting MB, or here fulltime?

[milanbenes]

Milan.

Bien Sûr

Good idea Joe, midweek generally best for me. Central or somewhere a bit classier (pas malodorant pour le moins?)

Milan.

Aparthotels are big here and are perfect for the short term contractor. Vary hugely in price - do a google but I used these guys when I came out here at first. http://www.immobe.be/

A mate also stayed here http://www.easyliving.be/en/location.asp and he liked it as it was opposite a good Irish Pub.

thanks I'll check,

one thing, if we all go for a beer I'm not getting the first round

Midweek might be the best option. I'm open to suggestions on a place, but one things for sure near my work (Evere/Zaventem) is definately not among the recommendations.

What's the preferences, central, terrrace, classic (e.g La Mort Subite)?
