Even Hookers are getting rent increases in Brussels

Prostitutes occupying the windows around the North Station in Brussels are feeling the pinch of the credit crisis. While they pay between €150 to €300 a day to rent a window, the price is set to rise as Schaerbeek commune ups the taxes on the specialised ‘waitresses’ from €2,500 a year to €3,353.

Last year, this tax brought in €450,000 to the commune, its third biggest source of revenue.

I guess with all that extra afternoon delight business from the Eurocrats, they felt a rent increase was justifiable.

How to make a million in five years (become a Euro MP)

Evidently the downturn in the world economy has not affected the Euro MP's much. In fact, business has never been better.

In the small studio's near the EU Parliment.....Belgians call them les cinq à sept (five to sevens) because people using them, leave work at five and arrive home to their wives at seven. They seem to have been enthusiastically adopted by some members of the nearby parliament for daytime hanky panky, or as the above video from the movie "Anchorman" shows..... "afternoon delight"

How can MEPs afford the luxuries these tough times? Well, Brussels is a bubble that has escaped the recession, thanks to the many millions that European taxpayers pour into the pockets of Euro-parliamentarians and Eurocrats alike, for adventures like this.

The Euro fatcats enjoy allowances that enable them to save £1m during a single parliament election, and vastly outpace the British for sheer effrontery, and they do so without having to account for themselves.

Denmark offers hookers to nursing home residents

I guess I can't wait to get old. Maybe she could change his depends while she's down there.
When a male resident at Kildegaarden nursing home in Denmark made an indecent sexual proposal to a member of the staff, the home's director, Inger Marie Kristensen, told a nurse to telephone for a prostitute.
There was a considerable change in his demeanor after the escort girl had paid him a visit,'' Kristensen said in an interview. We do this for our clients just as we offer them other services that they need as human beings.''
Just don't offer him a cigarette when he's done, if he's on an oxygen tank. STORY

Brussels has the best looking hookers!

Who knew eh? Maybe the country can start promoting them a bit more....Belgium, land of chocolate, frites, beer, and the best looking hookers.

Since the introduction of a new law and a clamp down on prostitution in France, many French men have been travelling to Brussels to satisfy their urges.

Maybe it has something to do with French women.......? On the weekend the red light district is often swamped.
Some punters drive for hours to have a good time and Belgian working girls are said to be far more beautiful than those of Amsterdam. Paying for sex in Belgium is not a problem, but the nuisance the French punters cause isn't appreciated.

Police say they drink on the public highway, take drugs and row with other punters in the bars. I'm sure the Belgian johns do nothing like that.....

Often banned weapons and drugs are found in their vehicles. So far seventy French nationals have been detained during Operation Dolly - half the total number of detentions.
