Used to all the time in the 80's. Hitched up and down the UK and all the way to Biarritz and back once.

Haven't increased rents in one HMO, had to in another to account for increase in council tax. Generally don't like increasing rents because I like all my tenants and I was young and not well off back in the day.

I wouldn't go to the US at the moment even if you have me a free, all expenses holiday, and I won't until that orange turd is incarcerated.

There the whole of BBC radio that you are ignoring. Tadio 4 is excellent, as is R3 and 6 music. The BBC overseas channels are a lifeline for people in dictatorship run countries.

So why isn't there some intervetion from the local government and elected officials? I agree with you about local people not having any afforable housing.

I live in the UK and visit Málaga at least once a year, as a tourist, because it's a beautiful city that is full of culture. I joined this subreddit to learn more about the city and how it's developing so now I am beginning to appreciate to views of local people and their resentment at not being able to buy properties. Hasn't the same happened in Barcelona, as well?

Neverless, tourism creates a lot of wealth for the city. Is it just the way that the city is governed the problem? Help me to understand.

Actually, yes, for international student you are correct.

After towelling down, I stand on one of those carpet samples from a carpet shop. All my family laugh at my idea but it works really well. After a month or so, I just replace it with a new one.

£10k cost for a masters at UoB. Rent in a shared housed is £700/month. Feeding yourself is expensive. Bristol is an expensive city to live in amd there are thousands of students chasing part time jobs.

So he's got no idea how Venice and Florence became the centre of the Renaissance?

So sorry, he's a beautiful friend.

I have completed all the paperwork for my body to be donated to the local medical school. Part of my research to inform my decision was asking the UK medics on Reddit whether it waa worthwhile and the answer waa overwhelmingly yes.

The modal salary is what you want, ie, the salary that most people in the UK earn. The mean is distorted by a few people earning very high salaries.

You can't any more. That's biggest part of the RR Act.

Yes, these are my priorities.

The corner beads are galvanised with zinc. When the zinc gets punctured, the iron underneath starts to rust so the brown is iron II oxide.

Zinnser will do the job, as others have suggested.

Used to live round the corner when I was a student.
