You know what else has almost disappeared in Belgium? The house sparrow. That's not a thing, of course, it's a bird, but stuff like that just scares the living daylights out of me. I mean: house sparrows, wtf? I remember there were plenty of them when I was a kid.

Oh yeah, same here. Where I lived, there were actually so much of them they would wake me up in the morning. Nowadays, all we get are those ugly black birds (the name escapes me).

And something else that has dissapeared: Driving gloves! My grandfather still uses those, and IMHO, driving gloves are just damn cool. I'm gonna try to find me a pair of those too...
