Echte Britse Inburgering – Deel 2

By exzl on 1st Apr 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Het VK is een geweldig land waar je geweldig vreemde dingen kunt ontdekken, zolang je er maar oog voor hebt. Echter, veel ‘typisch Britse dingen’ kom je in geen enkele cursus of […]

Living in the UK: Things they don’t teach you – Part 2

By exzl on 31st Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Britain is a wonderful country where some wonderfully strange observations can be made. However, nobody will teach you any of these things when you move to the UK; it is up to […]

“It’s First Past The Post wot done it”

By exzl on 31st Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

The British electoral system is rather useless, but if you believe its proponents this system is keeping a second Hitler from seizing power (yes, really). But as it often happens when it […]

Hitler > Districtenstelsel > Brexit

By exzl on 30th Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Het Britse kiesstelsel is prut, maar als je de voorstanders ervan mag geloven, dan houdt dit stelsel een tweede Hitler buiten de deur. Ja, echt. Maar zoals zo vaak het geval is […]

De Profetie over een dikke Engelsman

By exzl on 28th Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Laten we niet om de hete brij heen draaien: sommige boeken zijn buitengewoon kut. Velen onder ons hebben de gezonde gewoonte om te stoppen met lezen zodra ze een boek als zodanig […]

By exzl on 26th Mar 2021 • ( 1 Comment )

Citizenship tests are useless. I tried to answer the questions of a Dutch citizenship test online once for a bit of a laugh. It turns out that I don’t know enough to […]

Echte Britse inburgering – deel 1

By exzl on 26th Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Inburgeringscursussen zijn waardeloos. Ik heb voor de gein weleens geprobeerd om online een vragen van een Nederlandse inburgeringscursus te beantwoorden; ik had nog nooit van het woord ‘beurtbalkje’ gehoord, maar blijkbaar is […]

Guaranteed job security? Why not consider a career in British politics?

By exzl on 24th Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Job security is a rare commodity these days. An increasing number of people are lumbered with zero-hour contracts or are pressed into fake self-employment, and many ‘business-minded’ people would certainly love it if it […]

Gegarandeerde Baanzekerheid? Ga de Britse politiek in!

By exzl on 24th Mar 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Baanzekerheid is tegenwoordig ver te zoeken. Steeds meer mensen worden opgezadeld met een nulurencontract of constructie van schijnzelfstandigheid, en de woorden ‘versoepeling van het ontslagrecht’ doet menig ‘ondernemingsgezind’ hart sneller kloppen. Tel […]
