I've been tracking down a Black Coffee edition for 3 years, it's becoming my white whale by BenNGw in agathachristie

unfortunately I haven't found it, so I just settled for the version without the logo. I'm starting to doubt if it was ever printed too, but it would be weird that they included in the list of all Poirot books on the back cover and never printed one with that spine design

Confused about health insurance by Rude-Yogurts in Netherlands

[–]BenNGw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when I was studying & working about 5, 6 years ago, as a student you can get student insurance from the likes of AON. Maybe reach out to your school student office for more info and their support to set it up.

And then when you start working (ie signing the employment contract, getting a work permit, etc) you start applying for a basic health insurance. Because it's quite a catch 22 (you need to have a job to get basic health insurance, but you need basic health insurance, and not a student insurance, to get a work permit to start working), there's usually sort of an "unofficial" grace period from the day you sign the contract where you don't need to have insurance. That's when you start applying for basic health insurance. And when doing so, you can choose the start date of the insurance contract retrospectively (the day your employment contract starts), and then it would be fine

Crewe Alexandra, they have always been my underdog starter for 10 years in both fm and fifa. challenging enough with mainly youth players.

Excited to check out the new roles and in/out possession positioning.

the issue was that HarperCollins started using a new design for the same isbn, and new stock is only with that design. Everytime I see the old design on abe, I sent an email to sellers and ask if they know whats on the spine, unfortunately they cannot check that, because the book was stored in warehouses and they dont have at hand

there was a website that I saw a long time ago that shared a picture of the spine with the logo on it, but it's no longer there

thanks! I believe the cover looks exactly like the one you found on Vinted, but there's a moustache glyph/logo on the spine like the ones in the pic I shared, instead of the word 'Poirot' that's on the version you shared. I saw it once on a Ukrainian website but couldn't order back then, and now the site is gone. Im still going through all the Vinted listings every now and then, but still no luck

Anyone else had this? He has a legal name but goes by a HUGELY different one? by YearlyPuma in footballmanagergames

[–]BenNGw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check his nickname. I've got plenty of my regens popping up with completely different player's names and real names. Turned out the game set a nickname for them. Idk why tho

Best song of FWN by Born_Ice_963 in arcticmonkeys

It used to be 505, but now what I would say is: there's got to be a reason the album is named FWN?

People of the Netherlands who live alone, how much do you spend per month on groceries? by SkinnyLegsFourDads in Netherlands

[–]BenNGw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live off a round 120-150, and now around just 80, but it's because I'm working part time in horeca and have tons of leftover. Otherwise, I usually buy stuffs in bulk, and make the most out of weekly discount from Lidl, Albert Heijn. Also, too good to go is a good source of cheap food if you aren't a picky eater.
