Thinky thoughts still in writing
But now, that favorite of Dutch people's passtimes: whining about stuff.
First, today I was in another new bus that just broke down. The oldest of these busses were first used when many of the regional public transport companies fused into Connexxion (which is about as stupid as its name implies), which is a few years ago. I hadn't seen the old busses for years so I guess they got shuffled off into the province.
They're back now, though. They don't break down for no reason. Oh, sure, they're not as pretty, comfy, or as good for the environment (busses in Zuid-Kennemerland ride on gas). But they work. Coincidentally, they predate Connexxion.
Second, Conimex apparently has a new product out (or a new and improved, I dunno), with matching annoying commercial. It'd be nice, though, if they would've made the generic chips eating sound match the snack discussed. Guys? Kroepoek does not sound that way. (Let me have my pet hates, I beg of you!)
Oh, and the Belastingdienst and their cutesy "Oh look there I went making a tiny but significant and obvious mistake" commercial can bite me.
