Re: Random Dart Stuff
When I lived in Belgium it was considered rude if you went into a bar/cafe and sat at the bar not to get a drink in for everyone sat at the bar, I noticed in some places loners were made to feel unwelcome so it was always better to be friendly and mix with others, As much as I hated it, The French Belgians used to always greet you with a kiss on the cheek and I soon because used to going into bars and saying hello to everyone I knew first before ordering a drink, Perhaps Kim is of similar thinking and thinks Mike is a bit rude as he is a bit of a loner.

Re: Random Dart Stuff
thats immediately made me like de decker even more. great player, millions times more preferable to huybrechts. goood chance of beating cullen next week.DeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 7:49 pm "Mike is also a little too much on his own for me. Even at tournaments he always seems to be introverted and therefore he generally has little contact. Mike also has no fixed group he belongs to or place he sits. With Dimitri you have more social contact at such a tournament anyway."
De Decker can be quiet if he wants to be, fuck off Huybrechts

Most darts players would be more likable if they just shut the fuck up!

Re: Random Dart Stuff
I lived there on 2 occasions totalling around 3 years, Where I lived was in a sort of triangle of 3 small towns about 2 miles between each one and all 3 of them were so laid back, The place I lived was called Jezus Eik and it was very clicky, The local filth hated outsiders and I had a fair few run in's with them, Hoeilaart was the most friendly and accepting of outsiders and was where I ended up playing my darts and Overijse was where you went for a good party and a piss up on a weekend.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 9:09 pmFair enough.daveboygreen wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 8:57 pm When I lived in Belgium it was considered rude if you went into a bar/cafe and sat at the bar not to get a drink in for everyone sat at the bar, I noticed in some places loners were made to feel unwelcome so it was always better to be friendly and mix with others, As much as I hated it, The French Belgians used to always greet you with a kiss on the cheek and I soon because used to going into bars and saying hello to everyone I knew first before ordering a drink, Perhaps Kim is of similar thinking and thinks Mike is a bit rude as he is a bit of a loner.

Even though I played football for the local football team VOK Jezus Eik I always felt as if I would never be accepted or would belong, The bar where most of the players and fans used to drink was where I first come to work out how locals behaved and what was accepted and what was considered rude, In the 3 years I lived there I only seen one fight in a bar which ended up being my brother who was set upon by 2 blokes who waited until I had gone to the toilet to take a shot at him and the bar owner disappeared off the face of the earth for over a month after I put the fear of god into him when he had the nerve to drive round to our house and hang his fat head out of his car window to try and find out if my brother was ok and were we going to report it to the police, A few choice objects were thrown at his rather nice Williams Renault Cleo and he flew off before I could get him out of the car but apart from that there was never any fights or trouble in bars/cafe's.
I don't recall ever going into any bars when I lived there and someone would not make an effort to talk to me or be welcoming, Over here you could go into 10 pubs and the only conversation you would have is with whoever is serving the drinks, I always found the French Belgians to be very rude towards outsiders but the Flemish would bend over backwards to welcome you and get to know you.

You lived in a complicated area. Not surprised you had such an experience. the Flanders/Wallonia areas are not great for foreigners.

Re: Random Dart Stuff
Don't get me wrong, I made a lot of friends early on when I lived there, I was the first British player to play for VOK Jezus Eik and along with an Italian lad who was the first Italian to play for them I met when I first moved there we got snapped up to play for them after their manager watched us having a kick about, The biggest issue there were the local police, I joined the local gym and paid for 6 months membership and after I had a run in with one of them outside a bar he appeared in the gym watching me lift weights, As soon as I finished, The manager of the gym handed me back my full 6 months membership money and told me I was no longer welcome in there, Since then I was constantly stopped by the local police but they could never do anything except take me to the station and take a statement, I ended up carrying a crowbar around with me in the town I lived in because of them but thankfully never had to use it, I did drop it down my arm to show I had it and was willing to use it on the copper that had me kicked out of the gym and then he stopped bothering me and turned his attention to my younger brother.ChrisW wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 11:27 pmYou lived in a complicated area.

We had some very friendly neighbours and some ignorant ones, The french speaking cunts across the road from us had the nerve to knock on our door early one Saturday morning and asked me to give him his CD's back...His car had been left open all night and someone nicked all the CD's in it with some other stuff and he assumed it was me so he rightfully got a slap and sent on his way, I later had him and his mates follow me in Overijse on their mopeds, I walked them away from where they parked up while my brother set 2 of them on fire...After that no bother from the cunts

The second time after a year away I stuck to going out away from local bars and enjoyed it a lot more and had zero trouble, A couple of blokes who used to live in England that had been over there for over 20 years took me under their wing and used to practice darts with me and I joined their team, I enjoyed my times out in the 2 towns near me but found that on my own doorstep things were a bit funny with the people that lived near us or the local coppers but even still I would pop into a couple of bars locally where it was all friendly and polite.
