Snagger Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi. Are any of our Belgian contingent in or very close to Liege? I’m there for a couple of nights and would love to buy you a pint, or even a demi-litre! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Not in, but rather close yes I'm in Boutersem, @Escape is in Holsbeek, both about 30-45 minutes away not far from the Liège-Brussels E40 highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 I must have passed Boutersem in the taxi from Brussels! Not next door, but not a continent away… Anyway, Liege tonight and tomorrow, so if either of you are free and fancy a beer or coffee, let me know.

Escape Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I'm always up for a drink! I take it you're staying in the center? A taxi from Brussels sounds expensive, and it's actually one of the few railway connections that's not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 The transport was arranged and paid by my employer. I brought a freighter into BRU from Chicago, taking another out with a bunch of horses in a few days from Liege to Frankfurt and onto DXB. Must be some big races coming up, so that’ll keep me up at nights (my house compound is at the back of the big race course). I’m at the Mercure in the centre, so walking distance from the small square with the terraced bars. I’ll pm my number. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 In the '80s I flew as a steward with horses professionally and those were good times. Also, each month to the ME with 400 sheep.... Later, for a friend, in the '08s - '11s to help her out and things were quite different. As long as the owners weren't there, usu. very good flights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Thanks Ben and Filip for your hospitality - it was a great evening. Just don’t wear the pink tutu next time, Filip - you don’t have the legs for it. 😜 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wasn't the one who talked about an orange mankini... 😁 All kidding aside, it was a great evening. Now we know the man behind the fan. You're welcome back here anytime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
