The Devil In DiamanteReference: Me too. Paypal's brilliant once you get used to it - and you can often use it to pay for stuff on other online outlets, not just eBay. At least you know it's secure and you have some form of come-back. I have also used it to just pay a person direct. If you're registered, you can just type the persons email in and send the funds straight to them, you have no need to get their Bank Details then..(great if the person is someone you don't know)... [ more ]
squiggleI have had some people moan about Paypal but in my experience they are brilliant. I bought some dining chair covers and was waiting for delivery when I got an email from Paypal to say that it could be a suspect deal. They chased it up for me and I think the guy was going to be dodgy but when Paypal threatened the end of his eBay experience he couldn't send me the covers quick enough. [ more ]

DirtyprettygirlthingI agree Croc that so long as you do other stuff as well, watching videos or kids tv isn't bad... in fact I would argue that its quite good for the child. Mine used to play on the nintendo as well... and I am convinced that helped with hand eye co-ordination. [ more ]

El LoroReference emantoid I fail to see what a parade of saggy arses has to do with LS Lowry Very little.

squiggleReference: I'm sorry squiggle, I just don't believe that Tony Blair was this fiend who was dying for a war whatever it took. If he had'nt gone into Iraq, he would probably be called the best PM Britain had for decades. My son went into Iraq twice and he saw the difference of life for the people there, so there has to be some benefit. Well cologne you have the proof before you in black and white and you still do not want to see it. Robin Cook was the Foreign Secretary at the time and resigned... [ more ]

SazBombWhy 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 ]
SazBombReference: 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.

Former MemberThe couple from Blackpool were the worst. He genuinely thought his address No1 made him exactly that, and they're not.

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 TeasI 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 ]
