Perth. Is land expensive in Australia? You have quite a lot of it! If land is expensive Id say the game is rigged over there so only the already wealthy can nail it. Inner city houses in "rough" areas are cheap, well fairly cheap anyway. I have no chance of getting on the ladder any time soon though, but if i had the cash (30k) I think I could multiply it by two within a year.

You east or west coast? Housing prices are completely out of reach for anyone not breaking into the middle class bracket in the UK. If you are skint in the UK at the moment, thats pretty much how its staying. I was happy to plod on, but since my kid came in to the equation I have to start being productive.

I have watched a few "managa" movies. When I was a teenager the first one I ever watched was Akira. You can imagine becoming hooked on manga was an easy thing after that, even as a kid I always prefered the original cantonese voices with subtitles. (is it cantonese?) After that I opted for Venus wars, again another brilliant movie. Then it was fist of the north star, it still haunts me to this day that he got beat at the end by that bellend. After that It was project A-ko, and I managed to buy the one set in space which was a pile of shit, in the old manga trailers that looked awesome but there was hardly any action at all. Then It was pure guess work with what ever was on the store shelf, so I opted for Cyber city the first one. I had all three of them on VHS shortly after, the second was by far the best one. I think vampire hunter D - im not sure if I have seen that, but I have definitely seen van helsing thats a series. Ninja scroll was a quality anime, the hentia one legend of the overfeind - well it wasnt what i was expecting at all just some weird shit, but as a young man it was better than page three! I saved one of the best for last though, Spriggan - really good! Only have grappler baki and afro samurai to watch now and I think I have watched nearly all the must see mangas.

The bottom line is that you have to be good at what you do. For poor people the major hurdle is getting enough capital to expand. If you have no credit rating, no bank will loan you.Not in the UK anyway. I've known guys grow weed, nothing major just a cycle of 8 plants cutting them at £800 to £1000 per plant. But they only had to do it twice and moved on to other things. I couldn't do that because I know that weed is gonna find its way to a young lad or lasses life, and if you get caught you are fucked! You will never get in to other countries with a drugs record! You might get in on a holiday VISA but emigrating can kiss its ass goodbye. Barbering course does not start till september so in the meantime I have no capital and no way of getting it. I really dont want top waste half a year when it could be a productive six months. Id REALLY like to get in to property as I have enough building experience and contacts to do this so for example: I buy a run down shit hole for £8000, asbestos check sorted! I strip the guts out, back to brick, get a good deal on the doors and windows. The three main expensive areas will be the plumbing but a good plumber will give you a good deal, he fits the pipes and the new boiler. The second is the electrician, a rewire of a small home wont break the bank and you may or may not get away with existing electrics. The joiner (wood) skirting boards (people dont always fit these now and just have simple plastic skirts) new doors and frames (4 tops) may have to fit new window sills most likely will have to. Then the rest I can do, plastering and decorating, and i can work gardens if the property has them. I reckon I could get a small house sorted for 2 grand. Then the house sells or you make a % on rent. I would also have to be the salesman for my own properties. God dam capital!

SNES!

Id do that if it was on the side.

I just hope you are getting what you deserve after all your hard work my friend. I know too well what its like to work hard and get zero rewards. Right now I cant give my work away for free and im not kidding! I volunteered to help with the homeless and fixing up their houses over 8 weeks ago. Its a charity project where they get run down houses and you help out, keeps you up to speed and you get a very good reference, plus simple perks like CSCS cards etc. I have heard nothing back from them. You cant give it away.

Gabe, the salt of the york. Aim for self employed!

Other than the obvious one of full time employment (which is rare in my area unless its minimum wage - basically means if you are single and take a minimum waged job you suffer) what cheeky stunts have you pulled over the years to make money? My trade is a painter and decorator, I can restore old wood to look like new, and I can do solid plastering. Basically I can make the old look like the new inside the house, or I can start from fresh brickwork. (easy on the large ceilings) You would think that would get me a steady income, well thats wrong ATM. You need a van to really be able to reach potential for my type of work, or you are relying on others getting a large job and you end up being the lesser paid one. A van is just out of the question at the moment. So I'm thinking about a change in jobs, the best one I come up with is barbering. It only takes 18 weeks to learn and become qualified and you can take it wherever you have to. Then you work for your self or get taken on by a busy barbering shop, the last one I was in they were making a MINIMUM of 30 quid an hour. 7 hour day, 30 times 7 = 210. Thats real money, thats the kind of money when you wake up on a morning you think "Man Im so happy im going to work!" Even the Immigrants round here, they have no qualifications in their shops but there is always somebody in there! Always! I'm pretty good at spotting ways to make money but you know what the problem is, you got to have money to make money and that is the hardest part. What ideas have you got cooking for your cash?

Only if you don't share it with us.

I read a few anti EU blogs about sweden and they are basically overrun. I even saw a video clip where a guy posted anti immigration stuff online and you get a knock at the door... Bad.

Gently down the stream

Exactly. The UK gets fuck all out of it other than a housing crises, strain on schools, public services, god the list is endless and when you speak up about it the come in firing the R word at you like retards.

I do stuff.

Of course! Agz is a finner! Yeah was going to ask have you noticed any resentment to the european union, because in the UK (England) it is massively disliked. A party called UKIP are seriously challenging the establishment, everyone is turning right wing! Have you noticed any mass immigration in to areas that were populated by your natural fins? Right now London and birmingham are shadows of the cities they used to be. My home town is slowly being invaded. For instance local houses were given to local people, now they bump immigrants to the front of the line, its not good. Liberal lefties are going to destroy this country!

Would be nice to see how you are handling the EU crises and what party you are backing to get your country out of the shit. Cheers.

Shite! Oh well, wait for the next one now.

Was in court yesterday and the ex never got a letter according to the judge. I asked him for more hours and he wouldnt budge saying the mother had o be here. Well the time I wasnt there due to an admin error in address they reduced my hours, proof the system is biased, and the sad thing is this is how it works in countries with liberal viewpoints. IE feminised.

Monies tight at the moment, should probably sell or PX the wireless pad because its next to brand new. I think I have 70 bucks to last me 11 days.

Her number has 666 in it. Right im not a paranoid person but fuck that!

I use chrome, but I'm not trusting it one little bit lately. Using gmail and chrome although handy, it likes to log you into a bunch of stuff IE youtube/google+(who the fuck uses this?) and when you post a youtubevideo it logs your posts if you log in with gmail. For me this is suspicious, at what point did creating an email account to logging into three different things with your digital shadow following you? In truth I reckon chrome has harvested loads of data on people. I was wondering if you clued up lads knowwhich is the browser that proper ninjas use?

I got the game a few days after it came out, I was enjoying it at first then slowly It started to grate. The graphics are not as good as the first two games, and the combat! Christ! As you collect more gear the options to attack become a bit too much. You have a shield guy, a stun baton guy, two knife guys, two regulars and guys going for guns. There is just something wrong with it, in the other two games I had no problem laying everyone out, but in this I kind of just think - man this is pissing me off! I'm at the firefly bridge now, and I managed 25 minutes of playing before I quit out. I dunno, like there is too much going on in any one section? 5/10 From me.

so it will take the wire if i can track one down? I just remember once i had a 360 pad and it would only charge from the PC.
