Calling all Merlin (BBC TV series) fans!

Merlin - this triple threshold TV series ended on Christmas Eve (24/12/2012) after 5 seasons. We want to bring it back, and have some ideas, so join if you are serious about putting some little effort into letting the makers know they have more fans than they thought. https://www.facebook.com/merlin...

Re: So the Weed pass thing? and your thoughts?

So CS are closed for foreigners in eindhoven too ? As far as I know. Also ppl registered to a specific coffeeshop (residents) cannot get into another! That really sucks! And you can only register in one! Really hope they change this! Apparently the mayor of Eindhoven wishes to catch more street dea...

Re: So the Weed pass thing? and your thoughts?

Now the newly banned coffeeshops are discovering they are very quiet... I suspect many of them will have to close. :(
How does this help the recession?! Stupid govt!

Re: So the Weed pass thing? and your thoughts?

news from the south - Eindhoven council haven't decided what to do yet, they may let it ride (as is) until Jan 2013.
The weedpass may be no more, but my non registered Dutch husband tried to access a coffeeshop in Eindhoven using his passport and was refused access yesterday.

Re: So the Weed pass thing? and your thoughts?

I went into the coffeeshop where I'm registered today, for supplies. They didn't ask me for my passport again... and this time my Dutch hubby came inside with me. There was no argument about him not being registered.. only that our car was parked on double yellow lines! (He asked if we were planning...

Re: Any news on how tight the new tourist ban is in Zeeland?

Not just a ban on tourists.. a ban on anyone without a weedpass.

Noord-Brabant councils all voted against the weedpass in July 2011

Re: Somewhere near Eindhoven for trip with no wietpass

I live in Eindhoven and I've just come back from Birdy in Haarlem (literally an hour ago). Great place.. it was 1.5 hrs drive and easy parking (1.8 euro an hour). We picked up 10g of Amnesia/Cheese (85 euro). And drove back. But closer to home, is Nijmegen or Leerdam. We phoned one in Leerdam (Notos...

Finally got to the end of this thread.. phew. I'm living in Eindhoven and I went to the town hall offices with my passport & 8 euro to get a certificate saying I'm living in Eindhoven. It's stamped and signed and has my BSN number on it. Now I can take this with my bank card to my ONE coffeeshop...

There is also absolutely no tax benefit to being married or partnered. I would disagree. Now you must be married or partnered for your tax paying partner to claim heffingskorting otherwise you must have lived in the country for five years. This changed this year. Before, you could get it straight a...
