Not presque vu, which is the feeling when a word is on the tip of your tongue but you can’t quite think of it (in fact I think it might even mean tip of the tongue).

All I can think of is face-blindness, which has a medical name that I can't remember, pros- something, but that's a bit specific and I think you're looking for something more general.

You seem to be thinking of prosopagnosia which as you suggest isn’t what I’m thinking of.

The phrase translates to “never seen.”

It's sometimes handy to come from a multilingual country.

Name the three official languages in Belgium - from most spoken to least spoken.

not sure if flemish and walloon are considered dialects of dutch and french, or languages in their own right.

Happycamper is correct!

Flemish and walloon could indeed be seen as dialects of Dutch and French. They're not separate languages. That's why I would've counted both dutch or flemish as correct.

Jean-Claude Van Damme guest starred in an episode of which sitcom as himself? Two of the main characters fight for his attention.

Who wrote the BBC sitcom 'Just Good Friends'? He is more renowned for writing another long-running and much better-known comedy series.
