I dream of the day I can afford a one bed flat. Would be looking at 65-70% salary right now

I'm only talking about a rental here. No way I'd get a mortgage.

me too! working in central london.

Ah, when I did that I was either out in west london, or finally Maidenhead. But the commute's not cheap and it takes a good 90 minutes each way door to door. Lots more space though.

The last time I rented, I had a ground floor one-bed flat, with a little "garden". I could get through to the garage, which was right next to the "garden". Was charged £700pcm and there was no freezer or microwave, which made life a bit difficult.

WTH is she wearing?

Feel special to have a decent size 2 bed house with shutters protecting the back yard (which are still broken 5 months down the line...) for under £600pcm reading this

Shouldn't push my luck, but just moved in to a reasonably large four bedroom house with a Rayburn and comically huge garden (takes a tank of petrol to mow) for 900 a month. And people wonder why I don't buy.

To be fair, 900 a month is a king's ransom round these parts.

Nuts are 25% starch. There's very little non-animal produce you can eat which has no starch.

However, when you look at the amount of carbohydrate per calorie, nuts are very low. Additionally, the carbs are released quite slowly into the body. Most of the calories are in the 50% that is fat. Compare that to milk and breakfast cereals where most of the calories are from sugar and is absorbed very quickly.

iPlayer and it's buffering drives me spare

When I was in Woking, that was around 65% of my salary, just fro 49M²! The flat outside of Munich was a little less each month, but twice the size, but I didn't have any income...

God this is frustrating.

I'm still trying to get my OnLive console from Eurogamer since a month ago now.

So first, the Courier company were muppets and returned it to sender because they asked the Sales Office of my flat to sign for the parcel (and got refused).

Now, when i arranged with OnLive to have it held at the depot, i get told it was returned to sender yesterday afternoon (after making the trip out to collect it today).

Now originally OnLive stated i'd collect it yesterday, however i notified both OnLive AND the courier company that i wouldn't be able to make that and instead would come today.

OnLive replied saying that the parcel would just stay at the depot until i collected it (obviously wrong there) and the Courier replied with an acknowledgement to another query i had, but didn't seem to have any issues with my statement.

So now i've just wasted my lunch time essentially travelling to and from the depot.

Not to mention they cancelled the Uni tennis session due to "Showers", not even rain.

What an annoying day.

Would you believe I spent an hour and a half to my own companies tech support to get a new machine license for our in house software?
Why they designed it to be such a hasshle I don't know.....
Actually, it isn't a hassle if you're pluged in to the intranet, but seeing at this software was designed to be used offshore where you're never plugged in to the intranet.....
As the Americans would say.. Go figure.

Frickin street lights.

Looked out this morning at about 615 and the sky was so clear Orion was in full glorious view but there'd be no point taking a photo because of all the stupid street lights. Who needs street lights FFS?

Applied for two jobs in Denmark last night. Already had two replies saying thanks for the application, we will be in touch after all have been reviewed.

Now whether that goes any further or not is not the point. After having made hundreds of applications in the UK with probably less than 2% of those responded to, I'm pleasantly surprised to see a 100% response rate in less than an hour from our Viking neighbours.

UK companies go [LIFTED] yourselves.
