Getting a big raise this week 

someone beat me to an erection joke    normally i just beat the erections though 

[Bini]

Wow, I don't post for a few months and the board acquires tumbleweeds. I really must be the central linchpin my avatar comment has always suggested 

Thing that I like: GreatMistake and I bought one way tickets to Belgium and are moving to live there in July. Eeeeeeeep!

[Sasha]

Ha, hoe leuk! Ik zal er zijn ook in juli.

[GreatMistake]

Cool! We should have a big meet-up.

I hope you don't mind me correcting:

Ha, hoe leuk! Ik zal er ook zijn in juli.

It's just that Sarah is studying Dutch now too and I know people can appreciate it to be corrected when they are learning. Especially order of sentences is really difficult and unnatural for English speakers, and hard to explain so the only way to learn is to be exposed to it as much as possible 

[Bini]

Nice job!

As Niels said I'm learning dutch at the moment but I'm sure you're better than me as I'm not very good. Have you seen this site?

You can email them and get a printable pdf of a grammar book for only 3,75 euros. It's basically all their grammar sections in one handy file. I got mine printed and bound today and even after what that cost, its still a damn sight cheaper than buying a textbook and it's very useful (though the pronunciation part is quite hollandic).

Also I've joined their forum where you can practice your dutch and have people show you the corrections, swap hints for learning, have conversations etc. It's a really good resource.

[Mr Butterfly]

Very cool! Good luck with the learnings!

What made you both want to go (back in Niels' case) to Belgium? Is it just that Niels is bigger than you, or are you jumping at the chance to live somewhere that has far more good gigs nearby? 

[Bini]

Haha. Well we didn't really have a choice a few years ago, it had to be Australia because I needed to finish my degree. I always said that when I graduated we would go and live in Belgium for at least a few years so that I would get to know his family and friends better and also become immersed in the culture and language. Plus now I plan to do an extra year of study over there in EU law.

But you know, that's all a ruse really. I think you know I'm in it for the gigs.

...

And the chocolate. And the snow. And the close proximity of a myriad of travel destinations. You get the point.
