column. Gert Host: “Unfortunately, the Plopsa manhole cover is still closed” | This week the whole day

There hasn’t been much explanation about trespassing behavior in Plopsaland. Pocket secrets are better guarded than the contents of Queen Mathilde’s wardrobe. I suspect Studio 100 is saving the story for a new musical show next year. Attractions can be moved from De Panne to the event hall in Puurs. The public can then zigzag down the moving bleachers and between the attractions. Sitting and waiting is more fun than standing in line.

What we do know is that the former Plopsa director, like Ruth Beckmans’ birthmark, has mysteriously disappeared. No idea where the guy is. Maybe hanging upside down on a roller coaster? Or does he appear in The Masked Singer? Or is he now teaching to make up for the shortage of teachers?

Too bad the really juicy details weren’t revealed. Plopsa sewer cover remains closed. Fortunately, a little smoke comes out of the vent every now and then. But we are looking forward to a new season of “De Verhulstjes”. Maybe then we’ll see Plopsa’s principal roar: “Maya the Bee is a hooker!” Who knows, we might get excerpts from Mary Verhulst and Samson’s rehearsal:

– “Mary, why did your father beat this fat man?”

– “The director called Samson.”

– “Did the dictator beat his dog?”

We hope that the unemployed superhero from Plopsa International will be able to return to work soon. It would be a shame to let it go to waste in Stille Kempen. There are many places in our country where one can use talent. Make him the head of the car inspection. The waiting lines at the checkpoints are longer than those at the refugee centres. Belgium is the only country in the world where one has to stand in a traffic jam to get approved for a vehicle in traffic jams. Annoying, but this problem can be solved in an instant and made profitable. We’ve seen the numbers: Plopsaland has 1.4 million visitors a year. 1.4 million people laugh in a traffic jam, then queue at an attraction in a traffic jam and then, tired but happy, go home in a traffic jam. Well, the fired Plopsa manager just turned those files into gold! What is Minister Lydia Peters waiting for? Let Super Steve take over! Then by summer all the queues will be gone.

Then let him pack the Ventilus high-voltage line like a cable car and turn the nitrogen coil into a horror attraction. Then Flanders will be at the top of the list of the happiest countries next year.
