Brief summary : Audrey Henry's (MR) cabinet received 221.000 euros for her Cocof-related missions. Only problem is : Audrey Henry doesn't have any Cocof-related mission. Boris Dilliès doesn't see anything wrong with it because it's legal.
Next year I will study my Masters in Brussels and I am looking for a place to stay. I mainly look on Facebook, but that is not my question. I have noticed that now a lot of rooms/collocs are available, but starting from May. Everyone seems to be leaving Brussels 1st May. Why is this?
Hi! Are there any shops with lots of mountain bikes on display in Leuven & surroundings? We've been already to Bike Republic and Alec, they had mostly the same models and prices... are there any shops with wider range of brands/models on display? (Even Brussels area would work for us).
Thanks in advance for any help!
P.S. We're interested in mountain bikes for a 10-yr old and 2 adults.
Greetings. Is anyone interested to play tennis around the Woluwe St Lambert area...
Hi all,
Context: I don't have a car. I've driven plenty before moving to Belgium. I took 30h of driving courses and failed the test once. The evaluator gave me positive feedback and said that I should be ready to pass the test - except I made one big mistake. So, I'm confident that I have a good chance of passing if I take it again.
Ideally I would book the test again though my driving school but they don't have test dates and it's uncertain when they will have.
I called up many driving schools to see if I can take a 2h + exam package but they all have told me that they don't have an exam date.
I have a provisional license, but since I don't have a car, driving 1000 km during the stage period is really not doable. And I won't buy a car.
I would appreciate any advice. thanks!
Do you have any recommendations for a nice swimming pool in the Brussels area? Some people at public pools can be really annoying. As a woman, I’d prefer to go to a pool where I can feel more comfortable. I will wait your answers thanks.

Hi everyone,
My partner and I are currently looking to buy our first home in Brussels, and we’ve found an apartment we really like. Overall, the price seems quite fair for the neighborhood, and the space has a lot of potential (even if it needs a full renovation).
However, there’s one aspect that’s really worrying me: the building is still using an oil (mazout) boiler. It’s a small building (around 10 units), probably from the 1960s, and the facade isn’t insulated yet (although some facade works are apparently planned).
I’ve checked the previous years’ charges, but I’m concerned about future heating costs—especially given how volatile oil prices can be and the broader geopolitical situation. I asked the owner whether the co-ownership is planning to replace the heating system, but it doesn’t seem to be on the agenda for now.
Since we’d already be stretching our budget to buy and renovate the apartment, I’m trying to understand the risk here.
So I’d really appreciate your advice:
• How problematic is it to buy in a building that still relies on mazout heating today?
• Are there upcoming regulations in Brussels that could force a transition soon?
• Should we realistically expect major additional costs in the near future (e.g. collective boiler replacement, insulation works, etc.)?
• Would you consider this a deal-breaker, or something manageable?
For context: we work outside the home about 3 days a week and from home the rest of the time.
Any insights or experiences would be super helpful—thanks a lot!
Hi! Where can I pump my bike tires near Tour & Taxis or Gare du Nord?
Are there any public pumps, bike stations, or shops that let you add air?
Thanks!
Hello! My mom entrusted me with buying her a gold necklace and bracelet and I have no idea where to start. Any advice? Trusted good shops with non-scamy prices? Also if you know the price of the good I’d be super grateful!
Thanks!
Can anyone here recommend an online store that sells quality iron supplements? I only know of amazon and their selection feels quite limited.
