Funny.. time flies by, I realize that I have mostly no idea of what the "habitués" (or should I say OnLiners) do for living around here...
Maybe it's because I'm lazy and don't check your profile card.. but I'm kind of curious. I have my ideas from pieces of messages everywhere, but...
Who are you? :D
:happytongue:
Well, french speaking, or at least understanding, users can have a pretty good idea by going on the website I'm working for...
http://www.planetinternet.be/fr/aujourdhui/
or, my very own silly feature, called 'Who Do You Think I Am ?"

Buster, that video clip is one of the funniest things I have seen even with my own basic knowledge of French. What on earth is that dance thing? F'kin hilarious Huntsy, Muffy et al...you must see this clip
Thanks Seb...
Someone noticed there was some kind of 'Ghost Dog' feel to it.
And yes, it's totally crazy and it's really great to be paid to do such things...
Well, the dance thing, anyway, is a silly pissed off thing.
One year and a half ago, I started a diary, based on true facts and others that are utter lies.
(In the beginning, my girlfriend was Winona Ryder...).
I created a character which is pretetiois but quite ridiculous in the end, hence the dance thing....
Buster, after seeing your video diary I have no doubt that you MUST persevere with this project, developing this fantasy life into a full length feature film. You have the essence of another Belgian cult classic on your hands in the same mould as Man Bites Dog, the outrageous Belgian black comedy which won at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. You have a natural grace in front of the camera, it loves you! Go for it Klumpy, and more dancing, please! 
I work freelance producing drawings and designs for the Construction Industry.... This line of work has had me working in Austria and Belgium, as well as mainly Manchester in UK... Klompy does indeed live in a lovely country, i hope to re-visit there again soon, maybe next summer.
Thanks, guys !
I never thought this could appeal to non french speaking persons...
I'll have to give your idea some thinking, muffy...
:)
In which city did you work in Belgium, Hooky Monster ? And if in Brussels, which part ?
Glad you liked it, by the way...
Originally posted by Seb Briggs Muffy is it not one of the funniest things you've ever seen?
Definately! Have you ever seen 'Man Bites Dog' Seb, black comedy, disturbing yet hilarious.

I worked in the lovely cities of Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur, and Liege. I thought Antwerp and Ghent were by far the most friendly cities there, or maybe it's cos the summer festivals were on whilst i was there. In Brussels I worked in an area called Evere, just off the main road to the Airport. I lived in a lovely cool flat on Avenue Louise, overlooking where the prostitutes used to do their business. I also lived in a flat near the EC Buildings, but it was a bit grim round there with not much to do
Well, HM, I work in Antwerp and, to go to work, I take the route to the Airport (Boulevard Leopold III) going through Evere...

I Haven't Muffy. I'm an ignorant fucker when it comes to films, and Television in general to be honest. But if its anything like Busters show I may seek it out. Absoloutely mental!

Cool, as you drive towards the airport and just before you get to UN Buildings on the right, I used to work in the Ericsson buildings on the left hand side
Most witty little trailer Buster - the dance?
Has anybody mentioned Bez on Belgian Space Cakes yet???!!!
Originally posted by Buster Klumpy Amazing film indeed.And Benopit Poelvoorde, who plays the killer, is totally crazy.
Yes indeed! I have it on DVD, i've showed it to a few friends, some of whom thought it was over the top and not funny at all but they just missed the point.
In some ways, I'm surprises at how well 'Man Bites Dog' ('C'est arrivé près de chez vous' is the original title) outside Belgium cos it's really very Belgian wicked humour.
In response to the original question-If youre in the UK go to ITV or Channel4, press the text button or alternatively Teletext Website. I show people how to do that.

Seb, I hate TV, except for nature programs and documentaries, which is why I like 'Man Bites Dog', it's a spoof documentary. I'm not by any means an expert on films or anything else for that matter, but I like a laugh and this film is funny, rent it and see.

the dancing thing, in the 1st place, was more of somekind of 'Karate Kid' spoof...

Tell me more!
Well, every time he does a radio or a tv show, he completely steals the show.
He's mad as fuck and regularly scares the presenters who fear problems with their chiefs afterwards...

I may just do that Muffy. I also only like nature programs especially about Bears and Big nasty animals. Other than footy and Cricket (Which I know you also appreciate) I watch nothing else.

He sounds like a very interesting, colourful guy. An entertainer.
Oh well, back to work for now. Bye!

Err, no cricket for me thanks, most boring 'sport' ever!
Hmmm, I feel like this thread was somewhat hijacked from its original destination.
However, dealing about Benoit Pooelvorde abilities at making people laugh deserves its own thread, IMHO ;)
And by the way, I work for an IT services company (which lets me connect to the net at high speed, a bit like you Geoff') _________________________

have to second this - its top draw, v black humour. sepsh when the film crew get involved in the documentary they are making.
Originally posted by Patrick I tried, unsuccessfully, to access your film, Klumpy.
Don't know why, Patrick. It works with Wondows Media Player...
I get to work with really big powerful computers and storage systems at my job... mostly IBM stuff running Oracle on AIX and a few Linux machines. These machines are what run the company.
The company is W. C. Bradley and we make grills. Check em out at http://www.grilllovers.com/ -- the site is also hosted from our data center, but I don't work with those systems (IIS on NT -- blech).
It seems like most of us are IT geeks?
Well, I'm not IT at all. I work for a website as a journalist and don't know shit about the technical aspects...
Originally posted by Patrick I don't know, Klumpy, I just get no response.
Strange... Can't really help you on that one. Sorry, Patrick.
DES SINUS AU CASSIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, that was quite a laugh!
And I love the way you say "journal" with that Belgian accent! "Jour-nwouaaal!".
My only disappointment was when you said "Geoffroy K", without mentionning the last name -- I was really looking forward to hear the right pronunciation! :D
Seb.
With belgian accent ?! You're hurting me, Seb, I'm not supposed to have a belgian accent...
:)
Anyway, my character in 'Pour qui je me prends' is called GeoffroyK. But if you want to know how to pronounce it, do it that way : klom-caisse. But with a longer "è".
By the way, for some weeks now, I do all the silly drawings that illustrate the written version of the Journal.
I agree, our Bumpy Cluster has no trace of a belgian accent - well, at least in his Geoff'K movie.
How about providing us with an audio sample of your Canadian accent, Seb? (only kidding..)
Booster I've just got back from 10 million meetings and immediately tried to access Buster's Adventures in Grouchland but the fucker bombed my machine!!! - great stuff I laughed me cocker off.
I only had chance to see your fascia alongside a little window with a new bulletin about Salami Bin Liner and his dancing cockroach.
I shall attempt again tonight using the BreadVan facility where the speeds are in excess of 3MB a nano second easy.
I've just read that Window Wiper Media Station Zebra is required... god damn it. I'll have to try and get an Apple equivalent which can support 'Jurassic Booster III'
Huntsy, you cannot miss this marvel. I'm a miserable f*ck but everytime I think of Busters bizarre dancing I have myself a little giggle. Superb...
Well, I hope it will work, Huntsy. Don't know what you could do otherwise.
I don't wanna look self-centered but, in the past hours, it seems a lot of talks here have revolved around Belgium or my good self...
Weird...
Amongts the regular posters here, I must be the less secretive. But I don't know if it's very careful...
One of the things that made me laugh so much is that I could barely understand a word of it! Imagine if you played it on silent and you'd get an idea of how weird it all looks
It didn't work for me, so I did a View Source, picked the URL and opened it in Windows Media Player, not in a web browser, and it worked like a charm...
That was funny... it almost force me to consider putting parts of one video Sébastien & I did online when we were 19..
Well, that was indeed impressive. And you all have such impressive jobs. I almost feel ashamed to say that all I do is make sure every item in our store has a place to go. No magical wizadry with computers, sniff sniff.... But that is some funny shit...I love it!!
i'm so pissed off - the bloody computer won't let me watch the film and now i feel really left out.
on the subject of the thread, i am studying for a2 exams in german, maths and drama.
Sorry about that, again... Do you have a PC or a Macintosh ? It seems some Macintosh users have problems to see this...
Thanks Jeff, by the way.
Well, sorry again, Sarah. I sincerely didn't think this link I put would create such a fuss. I'm glad, of course, but also very surprised.
Warehouse manager for a restuarant wholesale supplier. It's nice to find out which places to avoid by going in the kitchen: always a bit disconcerting to find some cooks smoking while they are working. 
In fact I forgot to say who I am :D
Most of you probably know because of a previous post where Sébastien wrote about it but anyway...
I'm an engineer, as simple as that.. I've studied computer engineering (which is one of the branches of engineering, nothing to do with software engineers for instance), mostly done hardware stuff...
But I work as a product manager of a firm specialised in EDI & Workflow, and I don't blame you for not knowing what this is! I'm mostly busy being the "boss" of the e-commerce developpement in the company...
Not that may seem boring, but it's not :D

I'd be happy to do this -- and then you can submit it to Thierry Ardisson. :D

Brigadoon.I've been up since the break of dawn,having seen your post, I thought, I'm capable of passing on instructions on the usage of the telext facility on a remote control,(also my work from the look-a-like agency has dried up a bit lately)I've had sod all look so far,is this a London thing?

Jeff I'll take the GameCube if you shove Rogue Squadron in with it. I'll send you a picture of my eyebrow in return if your postal system will permit it.
Dammit Huntsman, you have just caused me to spit coffee all over my computer screen...I think I shall have to choose the game cube over the x-box as well...I can just see Microsucks telling us every six months that we have to buy an upgrade if we want to play the newest games...or better yet, you are just about to finish up a game, when the blue screen of death rears it's ugly fooking head!

I have a friend in Dallas right now, I can send him over if you want to :D
