To plagiarise borrow a format made popular by I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Mock The Week, and Private Eye, here's a rundown of the top ten 'unlikely things to hear in Brussels', as spouted by @Berlaymonster on that there twitter.
Bung us your own, by BM's customary gmail, or over the aforementioned virtual verbal diary-er with the hashtag #unlikelythingstohearinbrussels.
"Your Dutch colleague is very quiet."
"Actually my kids are at a Belgian school."
"But there's so many brunch options to choose from."
"No no, I can't, I'm driving."
"Yay, Strasbourg!"
"Frankly, I support the strike."
"Let's go down the Parliamentarium!"
"I'm looking forward to relocating to the Madou tower."
"I've been working for Cathy Ashton for more than a year now."
"Mr Chairman, I'm aware I still have several minutes of speaking time, but I think I'll leave it there."

Bahaha.
All so true. No idea why people feel the need to do number 10. Endless.
"Let's leave an extra tip for that lovely waitress"
"We were going to go away in August but didn't want to risk missing the lovely weather here."
It's such a beautiful summer day!
"Why don't you step out first, before I step in?"
"I actually have plenty of business cards with me, but I don't want you to have one"
but what will the Economic and Social Committee think of this proposal?
"I've been here quite some time now, I think I should take up Dutch."
Services and local attitude are just all that these expats paying such low taxes come here for!
