Ok,... I admit,... I’m a Belgian, living & working in & around Brussels. Second generation offspring of Flemish brewers and farmers.
You know Belgium : Flanders fields, Brussels capital of the Eurocracy, ancient castles, old fortresses & citadels, Pieter Breughel, Victor Horta, René Margritte, James Ensor, P.P. Rubens, Van Eyck, mannekin Pis & associates, Antwerp, Bruges, waffels, asparagus, the Brussels Griffon, home of the genuine (first working) Speech Technology, Bakelite (the first plastic), Yperite (musterdgas WW1), poppy fields, the first country to ban land mines (easy for us,... we have none), tennis icones Kim Cleysters & Justine Henin, the Ardennes and WW2, Belgian chocolates, Belgian Fries (and don’t ya call ‘em French), Julius Caesar who said that Belgians are the bravest of ‘em all after beating the crap out of them, former American presidents saying: ‘Belgium what?,... Can ya eat that? oh yea, Brussels,... should send troops!’
I got mail from Kelly Adams. He urged me to mention the Chimey Bleu quality beer. I’ll also mention Lambic, Geuze and Palm as my favorite traditional Belgian beers. Perhaps you’ve heard about Trapist, Duvel or White Beer? Any specific beer question,... don’t ask me, ask Kelly. He’s the expert.

Brussels aka the capital of Euroland 
... since France & Germany never agreed upon who was to provide the symbol of power & beast of burden.
Us Belgians think that it’s an honor to host the Eurocrats. We even quadrupled the prices for our houses in a few years time to welcome them & they buy that. We don’t,... anymore.
Brussels, a cosmopolitan thousand years old city build on swamps. The first notice of the name Brussels was the small habitat named “Broekzele” what literally means: “habitat in the swamps”. Not much has changed since than. Ancient King Charles, who was driven from his ambition to rule France build Brussels alongside a tiny river that he named The Senne, as it reminded him of the Paris river named The Seine. That river is now hidden under concrete ans asphalt. New Brusseleirs do not know of its existance anymore.
Brussels is a conglomerate of various ghetto-like suburbs within the city, often covered under traffic-smoke and rubble but also the city with the indisputable highest amount of lovely forest zones inside its city limits. We have poverished unsafe ghettos alongside rich cultural remainings and huge fungus eurocrate hometowns. We even have one (1) farm inside the city limits left. So, as Brussels is also a federal region within Belgium, we obviously have a Brussels ministry of agriculture. This is genue Kafka. Typically Belgian humor.
Belgium : Europe in the palm of your hand.
The small multi-ethnic nation of 10 million has mind-numbingly complex bureaucratic systems. The country is divided to 10 provinces, 589 communes and run by a national government and six other separate governments representing the French, Dutch and German language groups and as a second devision the Brussels, Waloon and Flanders regions with each their own parliament and more ministers that there’s hair on a dog. Yes, and all with their ministerable budget. Ob.. our national slogan is :”Union makes force”. Yea,... right,... Humor.

Only the few remaining (authentic) Brusseleirs understand and speak the local flemish dialect:
A “schramoulendief” is a man who steals what he can put his hands on,.. even if it’s peanuts like a gif or a jpg.
“Bruuke” or “Tischke” is a friendly way to name your (male) friend.
A “Meike” is an old woman and A “Peike” an old man.
A street dog in Brussels is named a “Zinneke”.
A small boy from Brussels is named a “Ket” or “Ketje”.
A female is named a “Mokke”, a gorgeous looking female is named a “schuun Mokke”.
A man who does dirty business is called a “Foefeleir”.
A stupidly disturbing person is called a “Paljas”. Yes,.. some presidents would respond to the description.
Bob (USA) wrote me: ‘BTW, our president is not stupid. He's better described as "clever as a fox". Don't sucker for that commie bullshit that he's stupid - he's playing with your head with that "good ol' country boy" act of his. I know because I live in Texas and had him for governor. Don't you be stupid and underestimate him.’ Nondisputandum: ‘Who said that I was referring to YOUR president? In fact,... I was!’
A loud mouth is called a “Gruut Bakkes”.
A webmaster who makes terrible sites could be named a “Skieven Architek”. Though that’s still to much honor for Mr. Poelaert and those day’s politicians who destroyed in the 1860’s the entire ancient upper city (the Marollen) to build a megalomaniac palace of justice. Nowadays the Eurocrats enjoy the same pleasure. For their breathing space, we tear down the entire (eastern) Leopold quaters after we destroyed the entire North Quarters in the seventies to build... almost nothing. Wasteland, 2 minutes on foot from the heart of the city, the ancient Grand Place, worldwide recognized to be the most beautifull. Yes,... we have more than one Ground Zero in our Beautiful Bouncing Brussels. To resume: “As long as they fu<k-up the Atomium and don’t touch our Mannekin Pis, it’s fine to the Bruseleir.
Danny Lenoor wrote: “People should know that the Brussels Mannekin Pis is not the original. There’s a 160 years older statue of the Mannekin in the city of Geeraardsbergen. (manneken-pis.tk)
These Brussels expressions are related to the original Flemish language, largely influenced by French. It is only spoken these days by a few. A “juteus” (jucy) dialect in extinction.
Brussels is nowadays the home of dozens of daily spoken languages within a few square miles like French, Dutch (Flemish), Arab, Berber, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Turkish and several central African languages. Indeed,... Brussels is an international city, enclaved inside a Flemish Belgian region (dutch speaking), near the fronteer of Walonia (french speaking). The two official languages are Flemish (Dutch) and French! You can grab a genue moamba, pita, durum, italian ice cream, french coffee and local specialities like snails in a spicy soup. My favorite Walhalla.

Brussels is only 150 miles away from
Paris (France)
Amsterdam (Holland),
London (England)
Schweinebraten (Germany)
Belgium offers high speed internet access in every home, internet technology in every day’s life. Most kids of 10 have a personal cell phone. Those modern Old Continental cellphone-, Hotmail- & MSN-kids think that milk is created during an industrial proces and that it is a white variant of Pepsi & Coca Cola. Should I shock ‘em and tell ‘em that their favorite drink comes from between a cow’s rear legs? Nah,... they’ll find that on Google!

Nondisputandum:
... is an old fart that listens to Jimi hendrix, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin & other Uriah Heeps. My favorite online radio station is Live365 Old Boys Rock. My favorite fusion musician was (in memoriam) Tommy Bolin - www.tbolin.com. My nowadays favorite band is the American punkband (don’t erroneously call it ‘grunge’) Nirvana,... eurgh... what? Cobain is equally dead allready? Several yearn now... forgotten by youngsters? Gosh, time flies. So let’s go Brittish and listen to The Darkness. A mixture of Deep Purple gone drunk, Van Halen in tights, Marry Poppins on the rocks & the night of the living Mme Tussauds wax museum. Huh,... equally forgotten. Gosh,.. i must be old..
My favorite vehicle ever under my but was a old noisy Yamaha XV Virago 1100. Now I ride this twice decorated as mountain king tiny (650cc) all terrain powerbike, the Suzuki DL-650 V-Strom.
 Professionally I work 4 days a week as a nurse in a beautifully located Brussels Hospital. This historical universitary hospital was build by Victor Horta and also contains a building made by Lacoste. Two days a week, I work independently in the motorcycle business. Mostly in an all Japanese motorcycle garage. And I manage a small company with an associate for the remaining time where we teach/instruct professionals about palliative communication, violence prevention, aggression management and digestion after being a victim of violence in a professional context. That leaves me plenty of time to build and manage websites,... among them this old 20th century nondisputandum.com relic that I keep updated for good old sakes. Don’t worry,... i do have improved myself meanwhile ;-)
I’m very longtime married with Maggy. We have two kids, buncha cats & dogs, rabbits & poultry... We live a few miles outside the old city limits. The motorbike is the only transport that gets me rapidly in and out the city.
 This Nondisputandum project is an internet spin-off to compensate my Computer Craving... eurgh... Let’s say that I started it due to personal needs as I never seem to remember a url and forget how exactly it is to fix ”my precious - computer”. Experiënce the fun of keeping it running.
I also discovered the portable and overall pleasure of using an Apple. Blasphemy? No,... simply a good idea! Seeking stability, uniformity and simplicity brings you to Mac. Read more...
If ever I use a copyrighted item that is yours, let me know before you dispute it! +99% on the site is about real honest freeware. I rarely advice payware. Only if and when it offers imho an indisputable higher quality than any available freeware. I mention when I do,...
My native language is Flemish aka Dutch. Both Flemish & French speaking in my private life though to keep things simple mostly French speaking in Brussels because else I would have to translate myself in whatever I say - even as a reflex when talking to a Flemish person. Yea,... the Flemish original dialect of Brussels is going down the drain as you read this. German speaking when visiting the eastern Belgian regions, English speaking for Global comfort and Flemish speaking when working in the motorcycle business. Hey,... none claimed that Belgium is a simple country,... but we have some politicians who are,... to keep the the dualism alive,... indeed,... doing more bad than good.

All the reviewed free tools & sites have the potential to compete with commercial software. The few exclusively commercial initiatives reviewed here can not expect above a (4.5/5) rating.
