C'mon, Tom!! It's party time!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin:
In a quote by Dimitri Terryn from another thread:

Congratulations, Dimitri!!
We're so VERY proud of you!!! What are your future plans??

Thanks :smile: Everybody have a beer/lemonade/appeljuice,...
Plans? Grad school starts in a week. First year consist of taking a big course on all the major sub-disciplines (Mathematical physics, particle physics, solid state physics, astrophysics, quantum field theory,...). Year after that, I have to choose a thesis subject and a promoter.
For now, I'll just enjoy this week as much as I can. :tongue2:
Thanks :smile: Everybody have a beer/lemonade/appeljuice,...
no vodka? :frown:
Yay Dimitri! :biggrin:

congrats, hope grad school aint too tough for ya, which soccer team do you take for, Bruge, Standart de Liege, Anderlecht....... i myself take for Anderlecht, i just find it sad they lost lots of good players like Zetterberg, Sciffo, and i believe Razinsky(canadian) too, the Mpenza brothers are pretty good but last time i checked they played for Liege

How come you know so much about Belgian football?
I used to go for Anderlecht (the younger Mpenza plays there now BTW), but as of this year a new team from Brussels, F.C. Brussels has entered First Class. It's built on the relics of two older teams, Molenbeek & Strombeek. My great-granddad used to be the goalkeeper for Strombeek back in the thirties, so I've found my new home :smile:
Seriously though, I don't follow football THAT much, but I keep an eye on it.
The party's been going on for a while. Time for more interesting things...
Cocktails & Longdrinks for all! We've got wodka, whisky, Bailey's, Safari, Rum, Pasoa, Amaretto, Port, and plenty of soda & orange juice, so suit yourselves :biggrin:

Hey, it's a Belgian party, so Belgian law applies. The legal drinking age is 16 I believe, but the practical age limit is something like 12...months :tongue2: So drink away my friend!

Congratulations to Dimitri from Gent...
Belgium rules man...
I also would like to thank Humanino for posting such nice pictures of himself (really, i am not beeing ironic here and i am not gay) and i would really like to come to Paris man...

Well, I think Tom's parties could be great anywhere ! I live in a huge house in Paris, student residence, where there would be enough room for every one ! Somebody interested :biggrin: We have the best parties over here :approve:

I've been having fun in the real world as well, just gotten home, been on the road since monday :cool:

Meh. First year was hard, and boring. Large courses on general physics, analysis, linear algebra en chemistry are not exactly challenging. Having 40h/week of lectures wasn't exactly pleasant as well.
It got better afterwards. Once you get some serious eletrodynamics, mechanics, quantum theory, variational calculus and algebra life gets suddenly more interesting. I thorougly enjoyed my topology and projective & affine geometry courses as well. There were pain-in-the-bleep courses as well, numerical linear algebra and thermodynamics especially were unpleasant.
Socially it was great however. Being surrounded by scores of intelligent, attractive women and being to party everyday (should you want to), while you are supposed to be studying hard creates a wonderful (if somewhat frustrating) creative tension. As long as you can manage with 5h of sleep per day :wink:
I also had the fortune of being able to participate in the university administration as a student representative. Experiencing first-hand all the politics that goed on is very enjoyeable.

nope, just the most popular, played,watch sport in the world, Zidane i have to say is my Fav player
Les équipes belges n'ont jamais atteint de grandes prestations sur le niveau international. Seulement une demi-finale contre l'Argentine en 1986. Quand même on avait un vrai génie "dans le but" a ce temps là. Tu connais son nom : Jean Mari Pfaff. Je te raconte une p'tite coïncidence : Pfaff habite en Belgique dans une ville qui s'appelle Braschaat. Il y a beaucoup de gens riches qui habitent là-bas. Les parents de ma fille (si tu veux voir sa (de ma fille, hmm) photo, regarde au member photo thread) sont les VOISINS de Pfaff et donc par conséquence j'ai eu l'honneur et le plaisir de pouvoir le rencontrer et bavarder. Je t'assure il est extrèmement sympa et down to earth. Pas the caprices, tu vois...

Well, there was one or two good-looking once attending the lectures. Only I tend to stay clear of physics-people outside of class, I see enough of them there. The rest of the science faculty contains more then enough gorgeous women... (Biology & bio-engineering :tongue2: :biggrin: :cool: )

(Biology & bio-engineering :tongue2: :biggrin: :cool: )
Now that makes more sens to me :approve: :rofl:
And by the way : just kidding about the virus thing. I'm infected too, but not as badly as you guys :tongue2:
We were so bad in soccer lately :frown: :cry: :yuck: :eek:
You should have seen me during the Altanta olympics, almost never sleeping, reduced to a creepy approximate shape of human being, because I was so much into sport. And not in the bad way, not in the "Yeah ! Give me another beer at each action, buddy !" In the "I will be one of them once" way :approve:
Yet, I was creepy : no way to switch the TV on another channel, lost girlfriends for sport and did not even care about it, really spent like 10 hours a day playing basketball during holidays, covered my bedroom's wall with posters, refused to eat great food because of reduced fat program, saved money during so long only to get the last fancy expensive shoes, and so on. Should you have said once "sport is a virus" in my presence, should you not have said twice. Too much sport is dangerous for the brain, and violent reactions indicate high level of addiction :rofl: :biggrin: :tongue2: :tongue2:

Zidane ruled in 98...but is on his decline now. Used to be a time when I was quite crazy about soccer (football/futbol) : adored the likes of Pele, Cryuff, Platini and Beckenbauer (was never really fond of Maradona, especially after Mexico City) but now I've gotten sucked into the wormhole that is American Football...and there seems to be no way out !!! :uhh:

Garn, not Zidane!! Henry my friend.... HE is the man. va va voom!
you brits never seem to be on the right track, Zidane is still #1, and Beckham is over rated, now the greeks has gotten there stuff together, the italians are always on the prowl, ths spanish are starving beasts wanting a cup, the portugese are awesome underdogs, but thos is enough rambling for a kid born on ice with skates on his feet :biggrin:
Garn, not Zidane!! Henry my friend.... HE is the man. va va voom!
Since there seems to be a lot of drunken-speaking here, and being only 15 I've never attended a real party before, I would like to draw attention to the fact that jimmyp has used the word Garn twice, in this thread and over here: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=6340
I tried googling the word but could not find any relevant information. I know it isn't a proper word because I've seen 'My Fair Lady', but what does it mean?
In case, you haven't noticed. I'm trying to type like a drunken person to join in all the merry-making. Thank you Dimitri for drawing attention to the fact that anyone over the age of 12 months can drink.

Hey!! what is wrong with saying "garn"? It is perfectly acceptable.

Zidane is a has-been, he can be great but not consistent. Beckham has been over-rated for a long time. He is a lame-*** untalented fool. Bring on Shaun Wright-Phillips. The Greeks impressed in Euro 2004 but have you seen them play for the World Cup qualifiers? Spain wont win the WC for ages. Portugal ARE awesome underdogs. Thierry Henry is the MAN. He is #1. Pass me a beer.
Look guys nowadays there just ain't no real universal and consistent soccer-genius. The last one was Diego Armado Maradonna. Other players that belong in this list are Eusebio, Pele and Beckenbauer...
