Sarum Beltane... I wear bright ribbons and a dress of green. I dance in the sun and rain And feel within my breast The fire burning. Time to be doing, To take risks, To live on the edge, To spread my wings and fly. For now, this moment Life is and I am Are the same. [ more ]
El Loro And on this May Day, here is a link to the Workers' Revolutionary Party's May Day manifesto published to support the Greek workers protest against the proposed economic measures. (I haven't added it to my long list of manifestos as it is not an election manifesto as such) Here is a link to the Comunist Party's May Day announcement, again in support of the Greek workers. A link to their manifesto can be found on my manifesto thread. I'm not a supporter of either party, but I do have a concern... [ more ]

SazBomb Why not just live in a house share with other 'young professionals'? Usually recent graduates who either still want to share, or are trying to save money.... would be a similar type atmosphere and you wouldn't have all the hassle of being the landlord [ more ]
Saint thats kinda ruined me future plans [ more ]
SazBomb Reference: Honestly I don't think you'd find a group willing to do it. Students like the fact that they are independent they don't want to think of themselves as lodging which I personally think they would if the landlord was live in. Plus when things go wrong we like to have massive rants about how rubbish the landlord is I agree with Trixy, I wouldn't have wanted my landlord living with me when I was a student... we also used to rant about how rubbish and dodgy he was A friend of mine did...

Aimee Reference: fondly remembers the days of flying board rubbers* i was only saying this to my parents yesterday when we was talking about this case the amount of times we had to duck out of the way of the board rubber and not once did we go home and complain to our parents about it, we just took it as normal in metal work once, the lad next to me was talking to me and the teacher threw a chisel and it landed in the blackboard behind our heads god you were scared of the teachers in them days [ more ]

Demantoid I'm glad you're so philosophical about it, Meaty. I'd be gutted if it was me, to know some oik had been rootling around my house. Still, it could be worse - at least they didn't turn all the taps on or poo on the carpet. [ more ]
Yogi19 Reference: Meaty Strangely no, by the looks of it they only entered the living room. Went in my bedroom and my PS3 and the laptop was still there. I do have it all stored in a box when not using so its pretty hard to find. So all they got was a broken TV? It's still horrible to have someone break into your house. [ more ]

squiggle Reference: I completely disagree Squiggle. I thought the most stuck up with the superiority complexes were the two who didn't have the classification. You misunderstand me I didn't mean that any of them were particularly snobby just that you have to pay to get the stars so its a bit daft to act as if you have been awarded the BB equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize or something.

Former Member The couple from Blackpool were the worst. He genuinely thought his address No1 made him exactly that, and they're not. (greedy and over priced for where they are, and with only 2 rooms full of confusing gadgets. Sure the old duffer from the thatched abode had high opinions, and amusingly self - appointed gold stars, but at least they were reasonably priced, and offered the best breakfast so far. [ more ]
Queen of the High Teas I completely disagree Squiggle. I thought the most stuck up with the superiority complexes were the two who didn't have the classification. The snobby Dorset couple and the pillock from Avebury were awful. They may have had picturesque homes stuffed with antiques but they didn't seem to give a damn about providing the guests with a good service, only about making money. The ones who did subscribe to the star system strived to give guests exactly what they would expect of that rating and more. [ more ]

I firmly believe his knowledge through many years as Chancellor of the Exchequer understands Economics through personal experience far more than the other 2 do as well as us the public and is doing his best to deal with it.

Advice for the Pope.
Garage JoeGarage Joe
El Loro Re Pope Benedict and the Nazi Youth: just to put the record straight this is copied from the Wikipedia article on him: Following his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger was conscripted into the Hitler Youth — as membership was required by law for all 14-year old German boys after December 1939 — but was an unenthusiastic member who refused to attend meetings. His father was a enemy of Nazism, believing it conflicted with the Catholic faith. In 1941, one of Ratzinger's cousins, a 14-year-old boy... [ more ]
