Brussels Torment - best left unsaid

Was trying to write about a dreadful Brussels experience I had a few years ago while working as an independent Science advisor for the EU.  Often, dreadful moments with the passage of time morph into a funny story that can act as a catharsis for the humiliation or painful memory.  However, this one is too deep a scar to be joked with yet.  It took me four pages of writing to discover that the Brussels story is still far too raw and sensitive to get out of my system yet.

This particular story will have to gestate for at least another decade before it sees the light of day!  So in the words of Forrest Gump, “….and that’s all I am going to say about that!”
