Even the chatter on forums here mostly sidesteps the issue, to the extent that it's become almost a non-issue. So I don't quite know whether it happened. Around the time we were having a drink, the terrace door was ajar, so if there was any bang, it didn't reach Romania (which is about 50km through that door). If we heard nothing, so did they.

>>>I am taking a high-intermediate French course from a french guy. One of the women in the course is from Brugge. I heard her speaking. I was very surprised that someone from Belgium does not already speak good french (she said she was taking French through all her school years). Some day, I hope, to read books of George Simenon (who is a Belgian) in French (he was very popular in the CCCP, when I was a very young man and read many of his books; in Russian, of course).

Never said you did. Some of my flemish friends speak 4 or more languages others only Dutch. C'est la vie.
