But a real brothel indeed !
Un vrai bordel en tout cas !
Een echte oerenkot !
Wie eine Eros-center in Berlin !

Notice that the Belgium man not only is fluant in all three official languages of Belgium, he can also sing in the language of Shakespere!
Wait to see him in Britanny in September... I have it from inside sources that he is practicing hard for Roger...

Sorry to be the pedant of the month... And not meaning to disminish Vincent's multilingual abilities...  but this tri lingual post by Vincent stinks of 'google translation' or other automated pretty useless tool.
The French expression 'Un vrai bordel en tout cas' actually means 'A real mess, whichever way you look at it'.
'A real brothel indeed' is slightly misleading I certainly haven't experienced Belgium under this 'red' light.
Vincent... To clarify, in English, 'But a real Brothel indeed' means 'Une vraie maison close, sans aucun doute'.
Have i made it clear that I work in the translation/localisation business ?
Take care everyone.

actualy it is hoerenkeet or hoerenkast, in Dutch that is.

A l'approche de minuit, j'étais trop fatigué pour faire des traductions correctes et sans faute. Et même parfois quand je ne suis pas fatigué...
Ik wist wat een 'oer' was maar wist niet hoe het goed te schrijven ( nu weet ik ! ):normaal, ik ben daar nooit geweest !
'Kot' is typically belgian and means 'hut' in english and 'loods' in NL.
I just knew that bordel was brothel in english, or also 'bordello' when sung by the Stranglers.
I didn't lost my journey with learning all this ! 
Thanks !
