Seems that for whatever reason on here the levels of stupidity are rising. I fear for a great many fellow fukers and think that with help from each other we may help guide each other through life....

So you know those stupid questions you dare not ask for fear of looking foolish or maybe you have a situation that you feel the advice and experience of wiser people than you could prove invaluable, then post it here!

Maybe we can link the student thread directly to this one? Eye-wink

they are not interested in money. its the accents, pot bellies and no teeth of the englishmen that turns them on.
they turn down yanks and germans a lot of the time, cos they are not into them really.

Saw one yesterday with this mess of a human being about three times her age. Almost felt sorry for her until I remembered the cockroach-infested hell hole she comes from.

I'm looking to rent a new place, is it worth trying to cut out Foxtons & dealing directly with a landlord?

So it is about money then. I'm sure she'd rather survive by living off one half decent, young guy than hundreds of fat, disgusting, old nonces

Surely all (decent) women are interested in money no? There can't be many women who would be interested in a broke ass brother with no job / house etc. Not saying money is 100% but definitiely plays a big part...

Yeah, of course, just seems a bit naive to say this relationship with a Thai girl isn't about money when she doesn't have any means of supporting herself

Yes and no.

Where are you looking to rent? Private landlords are rarer than a rocking horse in London (from my experience) but that's mainly because their places don't come on the market and are kept in a circle of friends who pass the property on to one another. Private landlords rarely up the rent or when they do it isn't as much of a percentage as estate agents do and don't do it every damn year (private landlords here tend to have handfuls of properties that they've owned for years). If you get a good private landlord you're laughing, but then there's an abundance of shit ones who perhaps come round each month to collect your rent in cash and will only speak to one particular resident in the flat/house, send their 'handy man' when somethings broken who proceeds to arrive stinking of alcohol or even arrives on your door step with his toolbox and a can of beer who then does a job worser than I myself could have done...But then estate agents are a clueless bunch themselves, but at least theres more to fall back on, paper work, signatures, the law etc...But that can always be a pain in the arse say if you're flat mate up sticks back to Portugal and leaves you with 2 months of unpaid rent, so the estate agents want you to personally pay for it despite each individual occupant having separate guarantors signed to the lease...

Swings and roundabouts, swings and roundabouts.
