A must for Sabena collectors

Hello everybody,

I went to my local chips stand (=frituur) today, and was highly surprised when I ordered a spaghetti... I received a Sabena set !

Included in the set are:

* plastic fork
* plastic spoon
* plastic knife
* toothpick
* salt
* pepper
* sugar
* serviette

The guy bought a big box of 10.000 ex. You only receive one if you order a spaghetti and you eat it immediately (not if you take the spaghetti with you at home).

The address is:

Frituur Joka
Kempische Steenweg 338
3500 Hasselt

Maybe nice to know for the guys from my aerea (like Liebensd and Buzz).

Regards, Robin Bamps.

Good to know Robin. Are the chips nice too? Then I might give it a try...

I had a similar expierence in a 'kebap' restaurant, also in Hasselt (not far from 'Dusartplein'), they served the food with City Bird amenities, not as elaborated as the Sabena items you mentioned though .

The chips are very nice, I'm a satisfied costumer since more than 5 years.

But remember... the Sabena articles are only given together with spaghetti (with chips you receive an ordinary white plastic fork).

So if I get it right, you're now eating the spaghetti dish every day

That's something else I wish I'd known a couple of weeks ago :dammit: I visited Hasselt on 13th September, and would have gone to this chip 'oil if I'd known about this.

Maybe you can ask Robin_Bamps to go to the Frietkot again and ask for a spaghetti then send the Sabena-souvenir to Scarborough

Good idea Bart

And maybe also send some Cheese Cracks at the same time, they are unobtainable here, and I adore them :fork:

I have the complete SNBA set, but I think only a paper napkin and a wrapper from a chocolate square from Sabena handouts (not counting Sabena magazines and timetables.)

IMHO the owner of the "frietkot" should name them "Sabena Spaghetti" or "Spaghetti à la Sabena"

Goodmorning,
In Kampenhout (near Kampenhout-sas) there is a furniture shop (called depot 96 or something like that) where you can buy glasses, trolleys, spoons, forks etc. from Citybird and Comair (ex Danish company I think).

Hello everybody,

I just made a scan of the Sabena-set :

Karl,

Thanks for this useful piece of information.
Could you give us some extra details?
such as precise name of the shop, location, etc.

Regards

It seems that Cheese Cracks are not the only unobtainable things in this useless dump! Today we went into a new supermarket, and now we discover that we can no longer get Westmalle Dubbel, Tripel Karmeliet, De Koninck, Liefman's Frambozen, Liefman's Kriek, Hoegaarden Grand Cru, Duvel

Oh to be back in Belgium with proper beer, proper chips, proper pubs, proper trains, proper towns....

Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, is a real :censored: dump

The spaghetti à la Sabena sounds really great :fork:

@Comet

No need to fake Bart's statistics with all those icons Louise !!

I keep asking me the same question: If you hate Scarborough as you say it all the time, why don't you move and live in Belgium. As far as I know you don't study anymore.

Yes Comet, I think you can find an international company in Belgium that will hire you for e.g. your English language-skills. You should check some job-websites!

Slightly off topic, but I will answer the last two posts (and also a bit late, sorry but I was on museum duty today, and all the hassle with my camera yesterday kept me distracted.)

Chris - the little rant about the beers was a response to a reasonable supermarket shutting down and being replaced by a new one - the old one sold some nice beers which I could not get elsewhere and the new one doesn't sell any of them. I forgot to add Leffe Brown, Chimay Tripel, Chimay Red and Dentergems to the list.

Believe me, I would love to live in Belgium if I could. Waterstones book shop, which has a branch in Scarborough (and also in Brussels) advertised for staff once and I applied. Under interests I wrote - "Belgium, Belgian beer and Belgian aviation" (along with others such as animals, eating out and things like that) and for the question why I wanted to work for Waterstones "because you have a branch in Brussels and I want to work in it!" I never had an interview!

It is a real problem getting work here if you are over 25. Employers will only take you on if you have years of experience, if you don't then it's tough luck because no employer will take on and train someone over 25. That is my situation - three years at university getting a degree, going and getting an IT qualification last year but because I don't have years of job experience no one will employ me. Employers will even fire people just for being over 25, and replace them with younger staff. That has happened to me twice.

Having no relevant up to date experience, and no character references, is my biggest barrier to getting a job anywhere, either in England or Belgium, and it really p*sses me off sometimes because I really want to have a job but no one will give me a chance because as far as British employers are concerned I am on the scrapheap

I'm also very sorry for going off-topic but Comet, have you ever tried to follow applicationlessons? Now I know I'm not the best person to give you some tips but writing down under interests "Belgium, Belgian beer and Belgian aviation" (along with others such as animals, eating out and things like that) is not a very good idea. Especially mentionning you like beer ... . Instead of writing you like belgian beer, write down "culinary/gastronomic belgium" (or something like that). And instead of "Belgium", say "The historical and architectal (?) aspect of Belgium". Eating out --> socialising, ...
And for the question why I wanted to work for Waterstones "because you have a branch in Brussels and I want to work in it!" Totally wrong!!! First, if you would like to work in Brussels, you need to know at least 3 languages, maybe 4 (Arabic

) Because in the way you wrote that sentence, you are saying you would like to work in the shop in Brussels.
Applying for a job is serious matter, take your time to fill in such a form. The first impression is the best one, and writing down that stuff does not impress the people reading your form ...

Comet · Post by **Comet** » 25 Sep 2004, 20:49

Thanks for the advice there Blackhawk. Yes, I have been on many courses for the unemployed where you learn interview techniques, letter writing and things like that, but the advice is not always as good as yours. Sometimes I have followed the advice given to me by the people who run these courses and had employers literally laugh in my face, which does nothing for your confidence or your internal temper sometimes. One employer jsut sneered "so you're unemployed are you?" and that was the end of that, he was not interested in what I had to say purely because I was unemployed.
