Nick i love your fat chick!

I'd say it's pretty family friendly, i'm not sure where the camping will be as there was a problem last year with the ground being wet and everyone getting stuck. hopefully it'll be down on the flat area behind the tower.

I was thinking of trading possibly, i will look into it. i think it was very reasonably priced last year.

i know you dig the fat chick really tim
trading depends on how the stock flys off the stall at the uk shows,but i think it may be a good idea.Also we might have a few extra days in belgium bumming around.firstly because they do the best chips in the world and more importantly,it has the coolest building in the world EVER. The Atomium,built for the 1958 world fair.it has just been refurbed so i hope it hasnt lost some of its magic.I want to live in it .give it a google folks.
be back soon

Yeah that'sa cool building, where abouts is it?

sorted indeed Rich

thanks for piccy rich. yeh it is cool and mental,they are stairs and the central shaft is a lift to a restaurant. the orbs were used to display science exhibitions and the like, i just hope they havnt buggered it up by doing it up!!!
Inside was really cool fifties space design and the last time i went it had a real good faded glory about it all, i think the belgians are pretty passionate about not changing it too much.
It is in brusells, about a 20 minute tram ride from the centre.checkout the website. www.atomium.be
if you get the chance go visit,i will meet you in the gift shop in the bottom orb.

unless i`ve read it wrong, it says spa has been cancelled on volkszone today. no details, just says its off.

Yeah your right...
