The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Flanders Industrial Park, Flanders Road, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 2FZ is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. As you enter the flat you are greeted by a wide and spacious hallway. At the front there is a fabulous reception room. There is an abundance of natural light due to a large bay window and high ceilings. Proportions of this principle room is a real highlight of the flat. Dumolyn, Jan.

If you want a race-inspired bike for cyclo-cross with the tyre clearances needed for gravel, then the Forte is a very good choice – especially if you want a frame that lets you know everything that is going on beneath those tyres. Verdict

On a sunny day in May 1940, the French army sent out the cavalry against the invading German army’s panzer tanks. Unsurprisingly, the French were routed. Twenty-six-year-old Claude Simon was among the French forces. As they retreated, he saw his captain shot off his horse by a German sniper. Centraal personage is Georges, over wie meestal in de derde persoon wordt verteld, maar die we ook vaak volgen als hij associatief en vol passie vertelt over overweldigende ervaringen waarvan hij de kern niet kan grijpen. En volgens mij ook niet wil grijpen, omdat hij juist de overweldigende complexiteit, veelvormigheid, veelkantigheid en raadselachtigheid van die ervaringen niet wil reduceren tot een chronologisch verhaal dat die ervaring zogenaamd kernachtig samenvat. Eén van die ervaringen is de totale vernietiging van zijn Franse eskadron door de Duitsers, in de Blitzkrieg van 1940, waar Georges onder meer ziet hoe zijn bevelvoerende kapitein wordt doodgeschoten. Georges prangende, maar ook onoplosbare vraag is: heeft zijn kapitein toen bewust de dood gezocht, en zo ja, welke aanvechtingen van verschillende soorten wanhoop hebben hem daartoe gebracht? Dat alles mengt zich in zijn hoofd met een andere mogelijke zelfmoord, van een verre voorvader van die kapitein en hemzelf: een even raadselachtig en onopgelost voorval van ongrijpbare en onvoorstelbare wanhoop. Georges ziet steeds weer hoe kapitein De Reixach rustig galopperend te paard zijn sabel heft en niet wegduikt voor geweervuur: dat absurde, en ook volkomen anachronistische beeld leidt bij Georges vaak tot vervloeiing van kapitein De Reixach met de revolutionaire generaal De Reixach van 150 jaar geleden. Bovendien zijn er voortdurende associaties met, bijvoorbeeld, een scene op de renbaan nog voor de oorlog waar Georges niet bij was maar waar volgens hem wel een mogelijke sleutel ligt voor de veronderstelde wanhoopsdaad. En al die associaties raken weer vermengd met andere flitsen van het geheugen: herinneringen aan Georges panische vlucht voor het oorlogsgeweld; Georges barre rit in een gevangenentransport, waar hij samen met anderen is gestapeld in een veewagen; scenes in het gevangenenkamp waar Georges en zijn vriend Blum gepassioneerd pogen te reconstrueren wat het verhaal is achter de zelfmoord van kapitein De Reixach en generaal De Reixach; herinneringen van Georges aan gesprekken met zijn vader nog voor de oorlog; spetterend intense scenes waarin Georges na de oorlog fysiek de liefde bedrijft met Corinne, de veel jongere vrouw van kapitein De Reixach; wonderlijk ongrijpbare passages over hoe Georges in de oorlog een vluchtige glimp opvangt van een ongrijpbaar melkblank meisje dat in zijn verbeelding soms weer versmelt met Corinne...…… En zo voort. I drank drinking all of her taking all of her into me like those oranges that despite grown-ups telling me that it was dirty, that it was impolite, noisy I like to make a hole in and squeeze, pressing, drinking her belly the globes of her breast slipping under my fingers like water a pink crystalline drop trembling on the bent blade of grass under that light rustling breeze that precedes the sunrise reflecting containing in its transparence the sky tinged pink by the dawn.

Most people that have reviewed it have reviewed their experience with this book more than the book itself. I understand why - this is heavy lifting and you have a right to some pride (or something less pernicious) if you've finished it. It's disorienting and painfully boring at times. There is basically no character development so it's nearly impossible to give a shit even if it had a plot that might engage you. But there's worse - what some might call erotica is less stimulating than a frozen apple pie. We've all experienced racy moments in literature that send our minds wandering. There's no danger of that happening here. In fact - if your troops run out of saltpeter - slip them some Flanders Road and you'll have them focused on the task at hand in no time.

By playing with the idea that reality and memory are always tinted by our own perception and thus become subjective and individual, Simon takes pleasure in disorienting us, as we try to put together the facts that become more mysterious as we keep going, rejecting the assumptions that appear and disappear in our mind, persistently misleading our sense of direction. The structural complexity of the novel equals that of the memory, where dialogue, emotion, and vision concur in the same design.

After a period of growing power within France, it was divided when its western districts fell under French rule in the late 12th century, with the remaining parts of Flanders came under the rule of the counts of neighbouring Hainaut in 1191.We are delighted to offer this fantastic opportunity to acquire a detached residence situated on a prime plot in the sought after coastal town of Llantwit Major.

The property is situated in a beautiful plot mostly laid to lawn with the Ogney Dell to the rear end of the garden. Detached garage to the front of the property with up and over door. Gated access to double driveway, terrace area, mature trees, fencing and low level walls to boundary. First the fall of Antwerp to the Spanish and later also the closing of the Scheldt were causes of a considerable emigration of people from the city. Many of the Calvinist merchants of Antwerp and also of other Flemish cities left Flanders and emigrated to the north. A large number of them settled in Amsterdam, which was at the time a smaller port, only of significance in the Baltic trade. In the following years Amsterdam was rapidly transformed into one of the world's most important ports. Because of the contribution of the Flemish exiles to this transformation, the exodus is sometimes described as "creating a new Antwerp". This Kern Racing build comes in at just 7.8kg, which means it's absolutely brilliant for climbing. Taking it to my local twisty woodland trails was an absolute hoot as I carved my way around and bunnyhopped over tree roots and holes.
