Thanks for the replies thus far. The latest developments are this-the girl friend that has been living there rent free all this time finds offense at having to contribute to something that isnt going to directly benifit her so they are left with three options-either sell it and split the proceeds, or buy each other out. Does anyone know the…[Read more]

Cheers Marc, I agree. In life I'm actually a very upbeat person who looks forward to embracing the future with all its challenges.

The reason why there is no apprentices is because the dumb arse government put such an emphasis on going to uni a few years ago (about 12 yearss) that there became a stigma attached to apprenticeships, and if you wernt at uni it was becasue you were a 'looser'-it was funny, parents didnt seem to care what useless half arsed good for nothing…[Read more]

This post just goes to prove what I have been saying to everyone about tradies-they are the biggest bunch of rip off merrchants next to used car salesman out there.
