Hi everyone

So I believe a little introduction is in order. I'm Kristien (christine written in Dutch way) and I'm a 28 y/o Belgian long term Gary fan
I became fan of Take That in '93 as probably most of Europe and immediatly fell for the eyes and the voice. And still falling actually everyday.
I went to The Open Road tour in 1998 in Brussels and was at TMF Awards (he never confirmed for it but he was on the to come list ) bad luck for me and my friend we got to see westlife instead.
And now my inspiration is kinda gone so that's about it

'ellow hunnee great to see ya here feel welcome here and a huge big hug to Belgium miss u alreadyxxx

Enjoy your time here!

Deffo going to the 2009 tour, both London and Manchester.
I never saw the 12m 11d tour which i soooo regret!! But I just loved the OR tour coz it was held in Ancienne Belgique which is not such a big concerthall in Brussels.

Good for you for getting tickets for London and Manny, well done!!!

Re. small venues, it was exactly like that for me in Bournemouth, it was such a lovely cousy venue there and i was second row there with my banner and he waved at me and winked (it was said on one side "Israel loves you, gary!" and on the other side it was "Jenny loves Gaz!")

It's fun listening to Belgians speak!
I always forget reading the subs because I listen only to the sounds of the persons being interviewed, and end up not knowing what the news from Belgium was about..

I never heard the Belgian accent coz i haven't been there yet, unfortunately:(

Hey hej what's this all about then????
BTW I know Swedish aswell so I could do both ;-) But they sing even more than we do. And I think belgian accent is dependant on the region. I, for one, should say we're close to german here. We have totally different dialects but is sometimes real funny when we can't even work out what some words mean ourselves

Flanders is cool!! Isn't that what Tom Boonen speaks?? Or am I confusing him with another cyclist??

In Norway we also have an insane variety in dialects! Just a few metres down the road and they end a word differently or have a different tune in the "sound" of the word.
