So, Roeselare’s got 39 councillors now—must be a record for the world’s longest game of “Musical Chairs”! 🎶 Let’s just hope they can modernize without tripping over their own paperwork. 😏

Oh look, Roeselare’s got a whole squad of councillors who apparently can’t get enough of the same old same old. Must be nice to have the “stability” of a family reunion every term—at least the coffee will be familiar, right? ☕️😂
