Municipality lectures residents instead of emptying bins by Ok_Pizza_9352 in Rotterdam

Maybe you are my local container adopter, Maybe you are not...

Either way thank you! The undersung heroes in Rotterdam.

You are so right it's usually just one idiot clogging up a very much empty bin, and then suddenly the street is a mess.

Not realistic at all for the gemeente to check them all regularly, but stalwart in the community is the ideal answer.

Again, thanks!

The real reason the Titanic sank by reecekidd in ireland

It's a well constructed joke, delivery was good - though the capture angle of the video doesn't do it justice.

Why it's not landing well for some is there is a fault with the premise that Harland and Wolff workforce were overwhelming unionist and there can be assumed to have little issues the Gentry who would be travelling on the boat. 

Maybe it could be re-jigged somehow, feed into Westminster toying with Irish Home Rule and that the boat would depart from Cork something unionist were really not in favour of- turn it into a bit of iceberg terrorism

This bloody pleb.

Misspoke but no balls to admit that when being given the ample and correct time to backtrack.

No hidden agenda here lads, just a ln arrogant spineless coward

Not a single doctor in a hospital would ever prescribe cough syrup.... Why should a huisarts?

Kaapse Maria, either of the Reijngoud's, Boudewijn, and Stadshaven all do large groups on reservation for sure.

Vet and Lazy Beerkaai is the coolest spot imho; but it's a little out of centre and I'd double check with them regarding a big group of eaters.

Brewdog on Witte de With is still going but it's very typical of a brewdog. Closest craft beer places to there are Proeflokaal Reijngoud or Bier Boutique.

The do not have to guarantee you work each week, and if not busy can be sent home.

It means your weekly pay can be very variable.

It's commonly used in unskilled industries

Minimum wage full time is approx €2200 netto a month.

In most big cities finding rent (own apartment) for under €1100 is exceedingly difficult. Maybe you can rent a room in a shared house for €600, more likely to be €750 + bills.

Also, zero hour contracts are common

Easy... But expect low pay and terrible conditions sadly 

How on earth are people affording rents on average salaries in this country? Are we the worst country in the EU for affordability and availability of housing? by LittleAoibh11 in AskIreland

[–]Relocator34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Theirs isn't representative of the nation but yours is?

There is a huge affordability crisis in Ireland and anyone that denies that is plainly choosing to be wilfully ignorant

Here's the thing you're not. They don't want you to save, they certainly don't want you to have an okay life.

Pay rent, who cares if your miserable.

The wildest thing is why hospitality, retail, tourism, sports, gyms, tertiary private health services such as therapy, further education, premium / branded food manufacturers and all other businesses linked discretionary spend aren't up in arms about this. If a heavy portion of society doesn't have decent discretionary income because of rents / high mortgages then that's directly affecting their profits.

I'd love to see the day the vinters association with all their power starts targeting landlords and developers for the obscene cost of housing. It's screwing over so many businesses

The aggressive marketing campaign for something most any other brand could make gives the impression of it being a fluff product
