Nice, I certainly wouldn't mind something like that. I'm on just under £8 p/h now but only have 20 hours a week. :(Quote:

If that's the case, then why are most jobs only paying £6.50 an hour? :-/
Because the bastards pay what they can legally get away with :SQuote:

Its pretty rough. I reckon people would riot if they tried to take minimum wage away here.Quote:

One of my friends supported herself working a minimum wage at McDonalds for a year. But she wasn't happy at all, and had virtually no social mobility to speak of because she had no free time and no extra money to put away. So I'm not sure I'd call it "living" so much as just keeping your head above water. :/ It's particularly bad in a capital city like Edinburgh and especially London.Quote:

Rent can have a huge impact. I have a 2 bedroom flat for £500, my friend used to have a studio the size of one of my bedrooms for £700 in London.Quote:

Really though the flooding is getting pretty bad. It would have flooded here except we dug out the creek after the last flood (not the county mind you, but just people that live here) but it was very close.
hopefully you guys won't get the really bad flooding like in TX.Quote:

Farty farts.
Carolina Reaper seed that we sowed a couple of weeks ago has sprouted. We're well on our way to growing the world's spiciest chilli. Shit, as they say, just got real. :wacko:
That'll bring tears to your eyes! :wacko:Quote:

To be honest, we weren't sure if it would even grow, and it was just a fun little experiment we decided on because after successfully growing a bunch of stuff we actually wanted to use, we realised how much of a sun trap our window ledge actually is, and just how good it is for growing things. ^^;;; We're trying to grow an avocado tree as well, though that takes a lot longer. Still waiting on the stone to even sprout. :'DQuote:

Guys sersly, check the funny whatever thread, I know most of you will get a kick out of that video, blast from the 80s :nod:
Rained again today but not all that bad. Kansas river is on the verge though, I mean really high. Seems like it would take a lot to flood it though, given how much it has been raining and it still hasn't flooded.Quote:
