Oh that's rubbish. They are gems in the postwar seafront.

The alcoholic version in Belgium is substantially stronger than in the UK. It's hilarious that it is considered strong there. It's a cheap lager here. It was kind of reinvented when they decided to export.

I do. It's the nicest alcohol free lager and I live in Belgium where there is plenty of choice in na beer.

So utterly predictable after Brexit fractured research careers plus the competitive rise of universities in the EU teaching in English.

My favourite Mitchell and Webb line is 'think of it as a tax on stupidity' when I see people buying dumb stuff.

Happy birthday Belgium. Off to celebrate via a train and a bike.

How can you possibly be 'indifferent'? It's DINOSAURS.

It can be a Belgian principality. Or something.

What it is saying is that Belgium IS Europe. Which is correct.

The food omnibus works, especially for fermentation derived products. Thought through well with excellent science base.

Goddammit, how is Belgium going to haul its sorry arse past this match now?

Trains are a 'free zone' for food. Mealtimes and calories do not apply. If you aren't eating snacks, you aren't trying hard enough.

The tour de France should start with cyclists having to drink a coffee in a café with bikes parked outside.

Jewish-American orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who worked in Gaza, said Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive at Nasser Hospital — their cries muffled by the dirt poured over them. 😲😪💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬🇮🇱♾️

Get out! That's amazing. Mine was green and white with daisies painted up the side.

Especially as the UK used an EMA mechanism for fast vaccine approvals as it had not yet exited the agency authority.

I cannot say that I love your choice of headline. Have you thought about how this is very derogatory gendered language? Agree on content but as a woman, the headline made me suck my teeth.

There's nothing wrong with gene edited plants and they will also become legal in the EU once the NGT legislation is complete.

NGTs for use in micro organisms can be used to make EXACTLY the same food ingredients that we eat now but in a much more sustainable and supply chain secure way. Do not sensationalise and misconstrue.

OMG yes. Please put the dates in the same place. It's a pathway through madness every VAT return.

Yes. Yes it is. Crisps are one of the great wonders of the world, alongside chickpeas, so this is really pinnacle of civilisation. Hanging gardens of Babylon got nothing on this.

Yes. And present the science correctly when you talk about it. Producing dairy proteins is a huge bonus for the environment and can be used in lots of products that you wouldn't even know had dairy in. It's not just cheese and does not get rid of cows.

Treatments have progressed so well, hopefully it can be managed for a fair period, different for everybody, but hormone receptive is a great start.

Don't forget that the EU is progressing its own NGT legislation which could be a pathway to alignment.
