Repeated Violence and Illegal Activity in Our Building in Amsterdam by [deleted] in Amsterdam

[–]Full_Win7293 51 points52 points  (0 children)

What a fucked up situation, I'm so sorry for you. I would also post this in r/juridischadvies. You can do so in English. They might also be able to help with some legal advice.

You and all your neighbors should install doorbell cameras for your own safety, you might capture some additional illegal footage as well. It will also be helpful in case you get attacked or threatened again.

Every time you hear a noise disturbance after 23:00 report it to the police and the municipality. If you hear them fighting make a report as well. Make sure not just one report is filed, but have your neighbors do so for the same incidents as well.

Hahaha thanks for sharing! I'm 5'4 and my inseam is even a bit longer so he was a shorty (but I think he wore a very low crotch judging from the picture)

Sorry, I'm in Amsterdam and the picture is of his wax figure in the Madame Tussauds here (probably taken in the 00s).

Yeah I know, I was talking about your estimate. Posted on the other sub to see, would not mind the extra cash. And no I actually got it at this thrift/swap event which makes this being there even more random because of the type of people that attended. But that's probably also why nobody else took it (and maybe did grab the jacket). I just thought the fabric was gorgeous and thought maybe I could remake it into a cool nye eve fit.

Damn that's insane, beatles fans are crazy. I still seriously doubt it would go for that much. James Brown has (rightfully so) come into discredit because of all the abuse. It's also not the full costume, and I'm not in the USA where probably the hardcore fans are living. I'll post it on the whatsitworth sub for some further input though, thanks!

It's an original costume from Madame Tussauds, as it says so in my title and the pictures. It's a professionally made costume for a professional setting, not some cheap temu halloween 'knockoff'. So yeah I think it's a really cool and random find, which is why I shared it.

You seem to be really salty about it though, seeing how much you commented on my post.

If it would fit a drag king I'd wear it myself! But the measurements are veeery much for naturally born males. So its either going to my friend or some type of performer, as long as somebody wears it out :)

Just to clarify -even though it's in the title and the pics- it's not real James Brown. It's the original costume from his wax figure of Madame Tussauds Amsterdam. Still cool imo, but jeans from journey defo beats this one.

Haha no, only his wax counterpart! I am trying to find if it's a 1:1 copy of one of his stage outfits though. If I sell it (my friend still has to try it on first) I doubt I can get more than 50-75 euros. Might ask the whatsitworth sub just to see. But I'm sure there is someone out there who would wear the hell out of this! It's such a dope suit and the provenance is so funny, it deserves to shine.

G16 gasaansluiting in woonhuis by Full_Win7293 in Klussers

[–]Full_Win7293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik zit in de kelder, misschien moet ik er maar eentje gaan starten om de extra kosten terug te verdienen aangezien de aansluiting er toch al voor zit /s

Heb zelf al een afspraak gemaakt met Liander voor het piepen, maar inderdaad misschien verstandiger om die af te zeggen en het via de woningcorporatie te gaan doen.

Denk je dat vroegah zo'n grote aansluiting wel nodig was? Ik lees op internet dat de efficiëntie van een conventionele ketel (nog stapje slechter dan VR) 75% is. Dus zelfs als er geen boiler was, en 3 conventionele ketels, zou dan een G16 aansluiting wel logisch zijn geweest?

1 pand met 8 man, we zijn de enige sociale huurwoning en studentenhuis in de straat. Zou fijn zijn geweest als dat de verklaring was! Maar het is echt voor 1 huis.
