[DST]

Of course there are jobs here, depends on what you do. You can get a small place o/s (subburbs) Amsterdam I reckon around 600 euro/month.

Inside, furnished you can pay a lot more...depends on what you want.

 

[gaztoth]

[mad dog bark]

gaztoth there a good demand for male escorts there hahah.
u watched amsterdam nights? hahahaha
weirdness
also gaz most house there so narrow u cant get furniture threw doors. that y most places there have a massive hook and pully device there outside top windows, so u can lift the furniture threw windows, madness.
the steps in some the house r ankle breakers and so steeeeeeeep

 

[DST]

gaz, you just need to make the step. I came here without any work and got into the industry I am in and now have my own company....impossible is nothing!

and I have done many a house move with the winch and pulley system. I can tell you it's a 100% easier than having to carry anything. You just park the van (or lorry) directly under and stuff goes straight in. Washing machines, couches, the works, none of this...To me, to you, to me, to you shit, lol. We done one from the 8th floor but used an elevator ladder instead.

 

[scotia1982]

What industry do u recruit for DST? Any need for english speaking debt collectors? Lol

 

[mad dog bark]

am shit with heights so most my stuff wood stay hanging out window as i ent hanging out it haha.
but still think a year in the dam with the family in few years b in the cards. me and th mrs have spoke few times bout it since we returned from long weekender.
we see finaces in few years. b good learn good bit the lingo too, i no they all speak english but wood make me feel less ignorant.

 

[DST]

I do fairly niche IT stuff, but can always point people in the right direction. Languages are always good to learn here, and it's getting harder for non Dutch speakers to get along easily. There is a reluctancy to speak English these days outside of tourist areas.

Met a lad from Linburg on Friday, he can't buy weed from coffeeshops down there anymore as they have the pass system on trial. Seemingly they are only letting Dutch BORN people buy weed, lol. What a fukin joke. I can never see Amsterdam doing that. He said street sales are already available!!!

Oh, and what with how the world is, Debt collectors jobs will be around I am sure (Deurwaarders = Bailliffs). Dutch would be a requirement for that job, but you could always get a job in one of the companies as a heavy, lol.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

morning all! i'm mucH the same, 7am or 7.30 if i'm having a 'lie in' ha...

still if it weren't for us old geezers getting up to piss at the arse crack of dawn we'd have nee peaceful morning smoke and a catch up on RIU.

inlaws for dinner today. think i'll still have a cheeky bongo or two. dinners a fair way off

 

[scotia1982]

Haha a heavy,u should c the size of me lol. Worked as a telephone debt collector for 7 yrs. Then screwed him in a constructive dismissal case,but bow the.fuckers stopped me from gettin bk into it here

So what ur basically saying is learn dutch and u should b fine. Think a coupla grows n some evening classes n we're offski,oh aye n a coupla passports lmao

 

[DST]

think i'll still have a cheeky bongo or two. dinners a fair way off

would be rude not too!

 

[DST]

You don't necessarily need to learn Dutch. Just some normal industries that you might think of getting a job in at home, wouldn't apply here, because they want you to be able to speak to the public (and a lot of Duchies from outside of Amsterdam do not speak Dutch).

Haha a heavy,u should c the size of me lol. Worked as a telephone debt collector for 7 yrs. Then screwed him in a constructive dismissal case,but bow the.fuckers stopped me from gettin bk into it here

[supersillybilly]

Rough as fuck. That whisky is a killer. Inlaws for dinner. Got a tenner on Bubba at 50/1. Would make up for what I rattled yesterday

 

[nasar]

That is a bit of an open question to be honest. Depends if you are running anything else electrical (i.e do you live in the house).

Most houses in the UK that I am aware of have a standard 100AMP main fuse. You can put a lot of lights in there safely with that supply.

Now, if you were to ask, how many lights would you recommend for someone with a 2 bed house who wanted to just grow for himself, and smokes X amount a month?
Or/
How many lights would it be safe to have so as not to have the electrical bills go through the roof and keep me in supply. Keep me and my mates in suply?

...........more variables are needed to answer your question.

Lol i know DST as im a noob i would like to use some lights safely was thinking of 4x600 for my 9x9 room and keeping up with keeping me an my friends supplies, any help would be acknowledged, i am in a 2 bed room house work during days so wont be using much els electric wise.

 

[DST]

If you are a newb then I would say best bet is to get yourself a tent (there are cheapers ways - depends if you own the house). A 2mx2m tent will be good with 4x600's, in a 2 bed it will be quite noticable consumption wise, but then it all depends on other consumption I guess. The UK guys will be able to tell you cost on that front.
If you have a reasonable strain and are working with 4 600's then you should be pulling enough weight to keep more than you and your friends happy, unless of course you become a very popular person which is not advisable.
How much cash do you have to invest? Do you own your house? Do you have inspections? just a few things to consider.

 

[cheddar1985]

If you live in the house your quarterly power bill from runnin 4x600s will be in the region of £550 to £700 from my experience with payin the robbin cunt lmao but wot you pull from that far out weighs the bill so its all good
