Contracting in Amsterdam – Payroll rates validation
It is required by Dutch Law, but 200 is too high unless you want extensive coverage (including maternity and full dental). kiesBeter.nl - Algemeen is your health insurance site - use google toolbar to translate; you should be looking around 100-120 per month for regular/basic coverage.

Aspergers
I'm sure you're asking 'how much heartache', and the answer is 'more than you can imagine'. My son's condition is different - he has physical brain damage to the frontal lobe - but his symptoms are the same. In the past, children like this would have been classed as 'innocents', and as they... -
What really bores you?
Cricket. Never seen the point in a game that lasts for days and nobody can tell who's winning until it's over. :igmc: -
Restaurants in Amsterdam
Because they don't do real dutch food in Amsterdam? :rolleyes: Humphreys is very nice, and not too far from Centraal. -
A very sad tale
There are a lot of these people out there: my SIL is one - has tried to break up our marriage, her other sister's relationship (succeeded) and her next relationship/engagement (sister had enough, and moved to the other end of country) and also her mother's two relationships since she split with... -
The plan to smother Wales with Windmills
Given a choice between the following, which would you personally choose? 1) Nuclear Powerstation 200 yards from your house 2) Windmill 200 yards from your house 3) Brownouts/electricity supply for only x hours each day. If you don't choose option 1, you're just another NIMBY (refer to your... -
How much rent should a teenager pay?
Well, Disgusted of Sussex, sadly I think you also failed spectacularly to grasp the concept of the thread. The OP wasn't suggesting taking 1/3 of his sons wage. He was asking what was considered 'normal', as he didn't want his ex-missus (not known for her compassionate nature, according to... -
Would you take a German contract now?
So you would seriously turn down a contract in another country because of one vegetable? Are you really not able to make your own choice at a dinner table? and who knows... they haven't ruled out UK cucumbers as the source yet ;) -

Dr Who - A good man goes to war - Spoilers
I'm not a diehard fan of Dr Who. I confess to not really watching it since Tom Baker left, but this guy picks up were he left off. Tonight's episode blew me away and I think that if you missed it, then next week is going to be lost on you, in the same way that if you had a toilet break tonight... -
Dont contract in Amsterdam
If you'd stayed here as tax resident, you'd have filled in a M form at the end of your first year and got almost all of it back, for your first year. If you weren't here long enough, you would have remained a tax resident of the UK and could have got your accountants to argue the case for... -
How to report a cowboy
If he's permie, go to HR. If he's a fellow contractor, suck it up knowing you will get extra work to fix the ballsup he created. Oh... 'how to deal with a cowboy'. CALL IN THE INDIANS! -
MF joins the apprentice
Oh, I don't know. Judging by your baby photo avatar, you look like you've got some of Siralans genes in you. Your mother used to like the Commodores, huh? :igmc: -
Help, If you have a spare minute!
Whereas some of us were just thinking 'what is this dissertation thing they keep going on about' ... half way into May.
