    Some landlords are usually less aware than their tenants about their obligations ;)

    I'm in my mid twenties. I did rent for a while but I found it was a total and utter waste of money. My parents' house is closer to where I work and there's no traffic to deal with in the mornings.

    They're happy to have me there and I'm happy to be there. I pay rent every month along with servicing & valeting their cars and I do all the gardening so I feel I'm earning my keep :D

    Ah I'm only joking! Sure whatever works for you, I've more peace & quiet away from home than I would staying there. :rolleyes:
    Plus if I lived at home I'd be spending as much on petrol as I would renting so just all made sense for me to move to dublin!

    Drove the Corsa C for the first time today. It's the 1.2 auto. Not what you'd call nippy but fine for city driving. Kickdown is a bit weird. Foot to the floor it'll accelerate well, but lift off even a bit and it'll get confused and go into neutral until you lift off completely. Very strange. The steering is notchy with feck all feedback, but it understeers less than my old Alfa. There are four different brands of tyre on it and the NCT is due in August, time for a set of partworns methinks.

    Overall it's a grand car for the driving environment it's used in.

    Seriously? Are 156s bad for understeer? I've only driven two of them but didn't find them prone to it.

    Right, my pioneer head unit arrived today and there is a good few scratches on the front of it which i will be seeking some remuneration from the seller for. Is there any product that might reduce these scratches and scuffs?

    I don't buy that. Talking as someone who had a Corsa and has driven a few Alfa 156s.

    Anyone who suggests anything about a Corsa is superior to an Alfa, minus running costs and timing belts, ought to see a shrink :pac:

    *btw I despise those little rotboxes people call corsas

    Have to come up with a comedy sketch that includes 4 people for a presentation on Thursday evenin'. Also has to reference to work. FML. One of the lads said Air Band to a song that relates to Maccers. (Not The Fast Food song.)

    I've suggested Danger by Electric Six. :pac:

    We're screwed. :(

    If you worked for BK you could use Rammstein's Feuer Frei! to reference flame-grilled burgers but alas, not possible with Maccers :pac:
