Radi, I still would like to see the newly painted balcony cos I don't think you ever posted the new pic.

Timon91 · April 20th, 2008, 01:43 PM

Yes radi, c'mon. I can't wait to see it.

bgplayer19 · April 20th, 2008, 05:23 PM

Hey apart from Radi's balcony anyone here who plays Sim City?

Timon91 · April 20th, 2008, 07:14 PM

Why do you want to know that? But yes I did, years ago though, the first version of the game.

wyqtor · April 20th, 2008, 11:47 PM

Yeah, I played some SimCity 4 with Rush Hour, with the Network Addon Mod of course. Also there's another mod, the RHW-mod, it allows you to build realistic 2x2,3x2 motorways.

I gave up because I was tired of fixing dependencies

I currently play Sim City 3000. And used to play a lot of SC2000 and Sim City for Super Nintendo.

I did,but I miss trams,and real public transport from it...so I get "frustrated" about it after 10-20 hours of playtime...and a lot of small things that prohibit me from creating the city I'd like...like not being able to introduce height-limit,etc.

Interesting, i saw a truck from Malta today on the Dutch A28. What are the odds...

wyqtor · April 24th, 2008, 08:54 PM

Hey guys, check this out: http://www.citiesxl.com/

This will probably be far more realistic than SimCity. It also has many goodies for us traffic fans!

The same truck?

Czas na Żywiec · April 25th, 2008, 03:57 AM

Well if we get someone else who witnesses a truck with Maltese plates within the next few days, I think we can assume so.

***ChrisZwolle*** · April 25th, 2008, 08:12 AM

The Poles are taking over the Netherlands. I probably see more Polish cars in one day than all other foreign cars combined. About trucks i'm not so sure, but you see them a lot too. There used to be a lot of German trucks, but they are possibly replaced with Polish ones.

I think the number of Ukrainian/Russian trucks are increasing too. Contrary to popular belief, they are usualy very new and clean, and not those old stinking wrecks.

Verso · April 25th, 2008, 01:41 PM

^ I see very few cars with Ukrainian plates, not even so many trucks, which is odd for a 47-million nation. I even see more Russian plates.

***ChrisZwolle*** · April 25th, 2008, 01:47 PM

If i drive near the border on the E30 (Dutch A1), the road is full of flatbeds witk UA/RUS/BY plates, with new cars heading east.

***RawLee*** · April 26th, 2008, 07:22 AM

Beside the slovak and romanian trucks,the 3rd most I see is ukrainan(among foreign vehicles),especially on M3...

I think trams is included in that plugin..? Am I wrong?

A dutch tv-programme, called Wegmisbruikers (road misusers or wrong road users) spent some time on Poles some time ago. There was one guy driving 140 on a busy 2-lane road and dangerously overtaking. When he was stopped by the police he couldn't understand why his licence was taken from him: "This is very normal in Poland, I do it all the time". Quite funny

About emigrating Poles: where a lot of Poles leave Poland to work abroad, doens't the Euro 2012 tournament preparations get behind because there are no workers anymore? I heard on the dutch news a week ago that Ukraine had great difficulties with getting ready on time.

***ChrisZwolle*** · April 26th, 2008, 03:20 PM

Yeah, i heard the Poles are having a labourdeficit themselves, because half their workforce is in western Europe, and they have to hire Russians and Turkish workers.

Majestic · April 27th, 2008, 11:10 AM

You heard it right. In Poland there's barely any structural unemployment nowadays. Unemployment is mainly caused by reluctance to work and low mobility of the workforce. And because of this low mobility there are shortages of labour in some regions, while there's abundance in other ones.
And because of our generous welfare state, many people won't look for a job even if they're unemployed.
According to the estimates labour shortages only in constructing industry are as high as 200,000 workers
