Hi annelies
Just as I was typing that little bit of French it DID occur to me that
'Annelies' sounded the 'other' sort of Belge. I'm afraid my Walloon or
Flemish is non-existent. I've performed in Holland but you Europeans
put us Londoners to shame by speaking our language so well it means we
rarely get to reflect the compliment. I can do Russian and Spanish but
suspect they're no use either!!
I'm glad you got your Linux box to boot. Good luck, then.

Walloon is just plain French and Flemish is plain Dutch, so we don't
really have a language of our own, the odd quirk not taken into account.
But that's ok since it forces us to speak more than one language, which
makes us a little more multi-lingual than your average European, I guess
;-)
Kind regards
Annelies
