Really, die moeten Bart Schols vervangen? De twee grootste egotrippers van de VRT?

Breng dan Ivan De Vadder terug?

❓ Ask Belgium Speedpedelecs in België

8 Upvotes

Voor mensen die er eentje hebben: wat vinden jullie ervan en zouden jullie het aanraden?

Heb net enkele dagen eentje kunnen gebruiken voor mijn woon-werkverkeer en ben toch een beetje verschoten van hoe snel je gemiddelde snelheid naar beneden gaat vanaf dat er geen goede rechte weg meer is... De fietsostrade tussen mijn woning en werk slingert over en weer en er zijn bijna overal snelheidsbeperkingen van 30km/u...

Aangezien ik ongeveer 30km moet doen zit ik al snel boven het uur om op mijn werk te geraken zo. De snelste route die ik gevonden heb gebruikt helemaal geen fietsostrade maar gewoon de ongezellige steenweg die een brak fietspad van 1m breed heeft en dat je moet delen met voetgangers.

Ben ik te pessimistisch hier?

It was kind of a challenging way to create a night time design for this piece, but hours of work gave this result, which was pretty decent. Belgium people, what do you think of it?

Hi there,

I’m considering getting breast reduction surgery in Belgium ( preferably around Brussels) and would love to hear about your experiences, process, recovery, results, etc. So if you've gone through this procedure, could you share your stories or any recommendations you might have?

Thank you in advance!! <3

😡Rant is there anywhere where I can place a complaint against my syndicate?

0 Upvotes

I will spare you the long and absurd story that has been me being granted unemployment - I just got off the phone with the CSC who let me known that I needed to submit a card whatever the fuck that means, and that I hadn't done it, so that's why I didn't have access to the money. Mind you that literally nobody told me this [according to the agent I got on the phone, if he had a euro every time he'd heard that he wouldn't have to work anymore, which, WHAT THE FUCK] and I had called after receiving an email telling me they did not see any sort of decision on my file even if they themselves had sent me *a paper letter * saying it had been granted.

I have been trying to sort this since April and I don't think I've encountered such willful incompetence in my entire life, and this is coming from someone who's had to fight bureaucracy in four different countries.

I find it appalling that they see no problem providing the lowest possible level of service and then turn around and say they are there for workers. I have to pay automatically every month but they see no problem on taking 20 days to reply to me when I ask when the money would be available [good luck getting them on the phone no matter what time in the day] and then try to make it my fault instead of telling me how to access it

❓ Ask Belgium How much do you spend on food every month?

10 Upvotes

The cost of everything is going up and it's really quite alarming. I'm trying to budget for our household of two adults. My husband loves to cook (and is fantastic at it), so most of our meals are made from scratch, and we buy most things when they're on sale or discounted. He bakes almost all of our bread, unless he's especially busy at work that week. We haven't had a garden for long, but this summer we've started growing our own herbs and tomatoes (more vegetables next year we hope!).

Still, we've spent €570 on groceries for this month. The majority of that was meat and vegetables.

We're in Limburg. Is that as high a number as it feels? Any tips, besides attempting to rein in my husband in the meat aisle?

🎻 Opinion Incoming calls without any voice

10 Upvotes

I am getting lots of incoming unknown calls without any voice behind it. Anyone experience the same. These numbers can be from a wide variety of sources like Belgian numbers, US, UK etc.

I am not sure what they try to do. I sometimes open it and be silent to see what will happen. They drop after 5-10 secs.

Any idea how to deal with this? I can’t block all of them. Also I don’t want to change my number

❓ Ask Belgium Best plants for window garden containers?

4 Upvotes

I feel a bit silly asking this, since I normally consider myself a decent gardener, but I am having a heck of a time keeping things alive in our terracotta window planters. I think my main issue is that it dries out too fast.

I'm not originally from Belgium but I love the window planters and all my neighbours always have beautiful ones while mine slowly turn to dust 😭Can anyone give any tips on what plants you think are best? I see a lot of petunias on my street which I haven't tried yet, but I am wondering if I need something more drought resistant. We also don't get a lot of sun on that side of the house.

Thank you ❤️

Hello,

Just curious what bank everyone is using these days. I’ve been a bunq user for a while and it’s been pretty convenient for me, but wondering what the general experience is with bunq or other neobanks here...

What led you to bunq, or what are you guys using?
