Does "contretemps" really mean awkward ? A french "contretemps" is some event that prevents you from arriving on time at an appointment.
The French contretemps helped of course: English contretemps[^] :)

Of course. Doh! Every time I see NT my first thought is of a Windows server.

I speak Dutch/Flemish, English, and French, with notions of German and Spanish; a classic background (Latin, ancient Greek), and some linguistic interest, tells me most of it comes together at some point. :)

I am honestly impressed by your abilities with the English language, for someone who grew up in a french speaking environment ( wild guess while looking at your first name, correct me if the assumption is wrong). You even solved many CCCs :cool:

Ok, that explains a lot. BTW, I was in Antwerp a few weeks ago. My BIL works and lives in Brussel, so when we go and visit him, we also visit some other belgian towns. The harbor is impressive, it really is. The last trip we made was to celebrate new year's eve. On the day before, we went to Oostende and Brugge. The kids enjoyed the beach and we enjoyed the towncenter of Brugge.
