As one finds almost anything that can be taped or filmed on YouTube, I thought I might launch a search on two of my favorite places : Okegem, where my mother was born and where I was born, and Meerbeke, where my father was born.

this one isn't so bad.

Don't panic, people. The deleted message was the same as the next one, minus typing errors (I hope).
Don't metion it, you're welcome.
Don't feel too bad about it, though, you should see the films that pop up when you type in my little hometown...
