Who thinks Derek and Participant should take this conversation else where and keep the thread on topic?

Surely our 'conversation' is very much on topic, as it's related to his lovely photo of some grass!? People are getting far too emotional about this.

Picked this Loewe airplay speaker up for £5 at the Hannah & Browne closing down sale. Jokingly offered the auctioneer a fiver and he said yes Retails for £500

What a steal he obviously didn't know much about audio equipment, to your benefit

 

[Raymond Lin]

£5? Thats amazing.

 

[shootersam]

The guy at the checkout was shocked when I paid for it.

 

[Something Else]

new bedding for new room.

Moved from single bedroom into the large room which has a king size bed
better wifi signal in here, has tv aerial, better decor, bigger window and a double plug socket instead of single.

All bills except food inc with rent (20mb unlimited internet, gas,electric,water)

£240 a month sorted!

 

[Tummy]

£240 per month for a room? Where do you live?

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Are there even pillows in those pillowcases?

Down the road from ocuk, Its alright tbh. area has undergone a lot of investment recently. don't have any trouble, 5 miles from work, morrisons down the road very close to all shops I need.

Are there even pillows in those pillowcases?

haha yea they look thin. the right one is the one I use, foam pillow. They look thin because the duvet is thick except the the left one which is a rubbish pillow

 

[Raikiri]

Damn that's cheap, you're looking at £450 a month minimum here without most bills.

 

[Something Else]

Yea, when I originally found the place I was shocked how cheap it was. I was expecting £350+ minimum!

found this place and moved in straight away. when the guy who had this bigger room moved out I jumped at it.

Its a nice place too, landlord is dead easy going. doesnt mind me bringing company home, he is a proper sound guy.

 

[Ahleckz]

If I ever lived anywhere and the landlord objected me to bringing people home then I'd quickly move out. You're paying, you should be able to do pretty much as you would as if it was your own house.

 

[Something Else]

I sort of agree but I feel like I shouldn't push it really. He has the right to ask me to leave at any point and I do need to stay here for around 2 years

Meh, it's a business transaction and providing you're both respectful then I wouldn't see why there'd be an issue doing as you please.

Hahaha... try coming and living in London. Sure I live on the edge of Zone 1 but the prices are still painful...

My friend lived in London and was paying £600 a month for a crappy flat with three others. You can get an amazing flat for that price in Sheffield.

Sometimes I don't understand the pull of London, as it just seems everyone from university is working there now.

Guessing the Landlord lives there?

I would say 95% of all the people I knew at uni moved to London after graduating. London has never appealed to me. There's money and opportunities there but there's also busy streets and expensive lifestyles. I stayed in the country and love it. There are proper jobs in the provinces too!
