Ruined
I’ve managed to build quite a good reputation in my sector and I get all my work through contacts, usually consultancies I’ve worked with before. I’ve not used an agency in 5 yrs. My current project is being belgobob’d even though they know it will put core systems at risk (1000+ users) and... -
"Celebreties" that you were GENUINELY sad had died.
Indeed. Joe Strummer's sudden death (only 50) was awful. -
Reasonably priced cars for contractors
If you work in IT in Belgium, you should be aware of the new regulations that dictate you must drive a 2 litre Audi diesel. This will be an A3/4/5 depending on your officialy designated status.

Banning of Burqa - Good or bad?
The proposed law here is highly unusual in that it is the only thing that the Flemish and the Frenchists have managed to agree on in recent memory. Bit of a moot point anyway as the government has just collapsed….again….and the PM has resigned…….again. -
That bit up there
To be fair, the Scottish weather can be summed up like that a fair amount of the time. Hate to ask, but are you working at the moment? -

Social Security - How to avoid it in Belgium
I heard about this as well. One thing that would have to be considered would be property ownership as belgohector can block property sales in cases where there is a tax dispute and/or alleged debt. Would this apply to the social tax regime as well? I suspect not, but in reality I have nfi and...- Rantor

I hope you haven't bought a Saab recently
I've been looking at a few v4 96s lately but getting one in good nick is a bit of a struggle. Just picked up my c900 from a bodyshop tonight and drove it home through ice rink brussels rush hour. Still a brilliant car; loads of fun tuning it and good for everyday use. Got a 9-5 sitting next to...
