TWO FEMALE POLICE officers have been injured by a man wielding a machete in the Belgian city of Charleroi.
The attack outside the main police station in the city of Charleroi, around 60 kilometres south of Brussels left one of the policewomen with “deep wounds to the face” while the other was slightly injured, Belga news agency said.
Charleroi police said the attacker was shot and killed, while the two victims were out of danger.
Belgium has been on high security alert for months since suicide bombers struck Brussels airport and a subway station near the European Union’s institutions on March 22, killing 32 people.
The attacks were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group.
Prosecutors said there was for now no link to the Brussels suicide bombings.
Belgium is the main source per head of population of jihadist recruits going from European Union countries to fight with IS in Syria, causing deep concern that they will return home battle-hardened and even more radicalised

Where is the “both milk and water” option?
@DaisyChainsaw: milk is mainly water
@Sandra O’Fucáif: Ever try banana?
@John’s Voyage: I prefer porridge
@Sandra O’Fucáif: See now I put the oats in a pan then add 1 teacup of water and 1 teacup of milk a tsp of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I suppose it takes all kinds to make a world…
@DaisyChainsaw: my first thought too. 50/50
@Sandra O’Fucáif: I put oats in a pot of water the night before then I boil it in the morning.
@DaisyChainsaw: I see by that pic that it has left out sheep droppings too…
Porridge is made using milk and oats. Gruel is made using water and oats. Bad music is made using Hall and Oates
@Finbarr Dowling:
Hall and Oates made good music!
@Finbarr Dowling: blasphemy!
Whoever says it’s nicer with water is lying to you and to themselves!
@Conall Foynes: Oh right and you know everything of course…..buff^^n!
I make with water then add milk and honey. Even broken bits of chocolate added is nice to.
I make it with 3/4 milk and 1/4 water. Its then topped with cinnamon or honey. No room for this reply in the survey, so how valid is the survey?
Porridge reminds me of my days lost in the British prison system.
Milk, u can drink water all the but them bones them bones need calcium
Oats + water = gruel.
We use milk now, it’s so much creamier. In college though, we saved our milk money for beer so porridge was made on water.
Both with raspberries and strawberries…. mmmmm
Ffs
@rse biscuits: give it to us straight.. be honest…as if folks would lie….jesus…
@Dan: Hey man this is serious stuff! Milk or water?!?!? Tell me now!!!!
@Dan: Not the first porridge poll either! http://www.thejournal.ie/lunch-crunch-poll-2-3637031-Oct2017/

Sugar or Salt? – Wow this is an important, life changing, poll – but will be interesting to see which granny was right!
@Niall Ó Cofaigh: Supergran was right
Milk and a bit of jam mixed in.
@Arthur Pewty: Weetabix-yum yum!
If im feeling a bit posh I push the boat out and use cream…
Milk, only milk, cows milk, you manky water people.
@Mr. H: screw you. We ain’t got the money for milk. Lol
T’was so cold out there this morning I seriously considered using petrol to make it…
I use Almond milk on my gluten free porridge.. I died my hair blue too.
Mixed the night before with Yogurt put in the fridge and add banana, blueberries and raspberries the following morning a bit different but beautiful.
Rich feckers using your fancy milk. Probably use honey too. Pffffffff..
Soak it overnight in buttermilk…top it off with raisins or blueberries, you’d bate bulls out of a bog after it!!!
I use both, favourite meal of the day
Full cream milk…..lovely
Water was only used by the masses in Ireland when no one had a pot to ……. in .
Very nice made with Baileys.
Make it with water but add lashings of Kerrygold.
@Jenny Powell: I’m not alone
Both
coconut milk, honey, fresh walnuts, mandarin segments = power breakfast
Almond milk, cacao and a little bit of honey
If you can add whiskey to home-made marmalade, you can add whiskey to water when making porridge.
Milk,honey,bananas, few nuts
Both , and add butter and sugar #dontjudge
I use Almond Milk on Flahavans Microwave porridge the add Honey Blueberries Raspberries & Strawberries and Rachel’s yogurt and fall bush with Lidl’s Crunchy Linseed
Delicious and keeps you satisfied till lunchtime !!
Full fat milk makes it absolutely delicious.. but you could also use low fat or water..
Some use Alpro, almond milk and some might use apple juice?
have your say
