    Kobi's tattoos

    Can anyone tell me the font used for Kobi's tattoo in English (but written in a very special font) he has on his left bottom arm? He has a Hebrew tattoo on the inner side of the arm, and on the outer side a tattoo in English which uses a quite rare but very beautiful font. Can someone tell me...

    Tongeren 22/9 : anyone carpooling from Brussels or surroundings?

    Hi, I am attending the show of Orphaned Land in Lille on Saturday :rock: I am quite tempted to also see the Tongeren (BE) show the next day though. The problem is : it is a Sunday night and then none of my family and friends can drive me (I don't drive myself and my friends and family have...

    Communist/Socialist bands (metal or non-metal)?

    As a leftist myself, I've always enjoyed lyrics with a political angle, well at least if it's left wing :) Manic Street Preachers and Rage Against The Machine to name just two famous examples have some great songs that display a deeply rooted leftist belief in the lyrics. I find it however hard...

    Mezarkabul changed singer again? Or is it the same guy who was with the band 5 years ago already (which already was not the initial singer)? I saw Mezarkabul's 20th anniversary gig on the shores of the Bosphorus, the stage right next to the sea, the Bosphorus bridge idyllicaly lit on the...

    Off to Israel... but how??

    This indeed was the thought behind Theodore Herzl's dream of a jewish homeland safe from antisemitism. And really, perfectly understandable. As frustrating as it is to see a job rejected because you're not jewish and cannot make Aliyah, I cannot really blame them. If the rest of the world...

    Off to Israel... but how??

    I have been diagnosed within the autism spectrum. To be sure I asked a second opinion to one of the biggest specialists in Europe, who confirmed the diagnosis was right. I am autistic, honestly. Online chatting is however for many autistics an important social outlet, because online things like...

    Yeah, tell me about it. In 1 week we will officially have broken the world record of longest government formation... Unless some miracle happens and Belgium gets a government within the next week. Chances of that happening are smaller than chances of a UFO landing in your back yard. It makes me...

    A PERFECT CIRCLE To Guest On Last Call With Carson Daly

    I really hope this reunion will be somewhat permanent. While enjoying Tool, I always found APC superior to Tool. Probably most will disagree with me, but anyways. The ethereal thing about Mer de Noms was of such beauty... When listening to Tool, I like it but The God Machine in my opinion were...

    Off to Israel... but how??

    I am not sure if there are other people here who not only love Orphaned Land but also the land they come from? (probably yes) I have been wanting to settle for several years in Israel for several years now and have been actively jobhunting in Israel. Three times I came close to receiving an...

    It feels so wierd not having a *like* button here.

    No you're not outdated, you're just being more clever than the majority of people. I wish I never signed up, I got bored of FB so rapidly... I haven't used my account in ages and don't plan to re-use it. I just wait to find out how to permanently delete it as opposed to make it dormant. A friend...

    Happy Married Life, Matti!

    So no snapshots? Matti's a lucky git... Israeli women tend to be very beautiful, I'm not sure if it's their eyes or their face but somehow there is something about the Middle Eastern look that I tend to fall for. As I experienced in Turkey as well... Congrats to Matti and his wife!! A...

    Aha, someone else that knows the Agonist! While I prefer clean vocals rather than growls (so musically it isn't my prefered style of metal) ... am I the only one who thinks Alissa (the vocalist) is drop dead gorgeous? She has a beautiful face, and I love her hairstyle in her videos! One of...

    Monuments Of Your Country

    While a native of Belgium, since 1.5 years I am living in Spain, although some locals would insist to say I live in Catalonia :) Here are some photos: The most famous of all streets in Barcelona: the Ramblas, connecting the Placa Catalunya to the port and waterfront: Many houses in the...

    I have been to both Utrecht and Aarhus. Nice memories :) Utrecht is my favourite Dutch city. I am not too fond of Amsterdam, a bit too hedonistic for my liking. I don't get why all tourists go there for days when a short drive away there are much nicer canals, old buildings and without the drugs...
