danielpholt Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Maybe I'm being naive but you'd imagine there'd be a more noticeable different in price between a 2 bed terrace house and a 1 bed flat; nope. I had a flat viewing a few months ago, they wanted £475 P/M for what was essentially a single bedroom and a kitchen/bathroom/living room. Disgusting. You don't mention location in either case. Why is that? That's a huge determination of pricing in the US. Also, age of the place. More general than anything. The flat was an old textiles factory that got converted a good while ago; the kitchen was a bit of mess (unhinged doors - stains on the floor) and there was little to no lighting (also directly on main road - no garden).

Thursday Next Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Maybe I'm being naive but you'd imagine there'd be a more noticeable different in price between a 2 bed terrace house and a 1 bed flat; nope.

Why is that? That's a huge determination of pricing in the US. Also, age of the place. It's a massive factor here as well. And it changes drastically over as little as a mile. £475 sounds like too much for the North (unless it's near one of the big city centres), but not even close to enough for London. Could be anywhere in between. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Two of my housemates went for the midnight viewing. Really enjoyed the film. Found this out at 3AM. Wasn't already best of sleeping moods since one that had remained practised guitar beyond midnight. Dropped a message to em that it was 3AM, but got ignored, chat continued at non-3AM volume pretty much outside my door with guitar practising housemate. Currently pulling teeth trying to get an apology at least. edit: "Fine, I'm sorry for the maybe 5 words in personally said". The sincerity is breathtaking.

Thursday Next Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 That's rather inconsiderate. I get that you're pumped and want to download to your buddy, but you should still respect that others are on a normal sleeping schedule and try to keep it down a little (or at least apologise for being a little overexcited). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yeah I was even giving an out for that too: Would that extend to a sorry on entuhusatically waking me up at 3AM and having a good halfhr long chin wag? Like I understand it's Star Wars, but I'm at work (a recent trope being the "ask dean to call landlord/fix things/pick-up contracts while he's at the 9-5 job he's held for more than 2yrs then get annoyed when he says he's at work"). Not much extra effort to sneak quietly through the door like you're breaking in and sneak off upstairs to bed for the night instead of grabbing another housemate n having a good chat in the hallway. It could easily have waited until the morning. Heck for the past week+ on the communal whiteboard right next to "birthday party 18th/19th" is "discuss star wars 17th". Ah well, offski to see family next Wednesday onwards. edit: had a much better response from other housemate. Does reinforce the "opposites attract" stuff . She was the only one to help sort out fire alarm issue other week without complaint or resistance too. (and amazingly the one I've lived with longest of all of them).

deanb Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'll save retyping and copy paste: 21:08 - Dean [PXOD]: Just went to grab my 360 pad off housemate and he says he gave me it back ages ago. 21:08 - Television's Frank: he sold it for drug money Wouldn't fucking surprise me.

danielpholt Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Apparently we've got the decorators in today and tomorrow? I guess I should be happy that our landlord is gonna tidy the place up for us, but I'm still not sure what rooms they're doing, how much they're doing (total repaint or just touch ups) and how many dudes are coming. Honestly, I wish they weren't coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe the new system should be if you leave them long enough they end up in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 The majority of the crockery, cutlery n pans are mine and one other housemates so we'd only be fucking ourselves over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hah, that's almost like a vector drawing of one of them Swap the cans out for the 2L bottles and maybe add in a bong and it's picture perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Wake up, head out, notice a "to let" sign screwed to our fence."hey anyone know about this? they not been in touch like usual about staying on n waiving admin fee?" "oh yeah, they rang up and I told them me n partner were maybe moving out n some of uni students friends might be moving in" Nice for discussing any of this with me :/ As it stands while I've issues with some of the housemates I totally like the house itself. Bus stop right outside, 20 minute walk to city centre, nice spacious rooms, nice back yard (though don't get chance to use it :/) so I'm totally up for hanging around here.

deanb Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Lock them away then? This system has now been implemented. At least for myself. After there was already stuff out for several days, then I went away for a week and it was still there I gave ultimatum that I'd wash up the stuff but if it's something that belongs to me it goes in my room for no one else to use. Was considered fair. I don't think they've realised what I own. Originally was going to just go through the entire kitchen and move out all my stuff but tbh that'll be a total PITA. Though with the bits-at-a-time approach I feel ultimately the solution for those with cash but CBA to wash will just buy things new and the problem will persist. I'll need to eventually pack all my stuff soonish anyway so I may just go through in a couple weeks time if it doesn't get better and take all my things.
