no fair...I want a beard now....*strokes chin*

Hmmmmmmm.... *Strokes his piece of Bumfluff* this guy is good, but not good enough, though I cannot find any contradictions in his story, but what I think he did was look up one point in the animal disease library and build his story on that.

Btw I am known for my habit of not donating over internet, if he were to come along side my door, I'd probably give him a euro and let him be off with it, just for the sheer disinteerest, but with Internet I always thought it to be healthy to be a bit more carefull, and as I do not trust internet enough with my hard earned cash, I'll never donate to anything, even if I wanted to.

It all SEEMS true, but the truth is no longer truly truthful to those who truly speak the truth, or something.
It just seems a bit, how you say, "GIMME CASH!" y'know?
Another thing is the whole "if we exceed 500" if you exceed your goal, give people their money back, dammit. Y'know? So me thinks I'll just not give nothing to nobody never, or something like that.

Erm, I have a terrible story............I cannot afford my flat bill due to my poor wage, and next month i will have no-where to live (cannot afford the 600 a month after Mr Taxman and Mr Coucil taxman have taken their swipe!!!). The rent for flats in Leeds for 1 beds is over 90 quid a week for a 12month contract, but i can only have a 6 month one (due to fact i will be moving out of area). HOWEVER....for 6 month contract i have to have a "young professoinals" flat - which costs over 120-150 a week minimum (some are 200!! F*&% S%*# F$% *3#$!!! . After rent and bills i have no money for food. This month i will work 150hours for 0 pay effectively due to this problem.

Please help raise some money so that i can stay at work and feed myself.



Sad thing is, its actually true.....

Chips story is believeable and would probably con me into giving him money, thats not going to happen however as i don't trust paypal otherwise i would have donated to TLR a long time ago. If it is true then it's a sad state of affairs and i hope that you are ok Chips, if only you got paid for your modding masterpieces

unf Chips, much as i sympathise with your plight, I gave my spare money to Fluffy, so you'll be sleeping in doorways again. Never mind, at least it's summertime and there's plenty of room at the Sally Army this time of year.

however I understand that there will be a spare bed in the Shrewsbury area, once a well-known member of the student population returns to his own cosy berth on the other side of the Pennines from you.

hehe - tar. My landlord looked shocked when i said i would leave next month. He was wanting to know where i would go, and couldn't believe that i said "no idea - dunno!". How the heck he thinks i can spend all my cash on his flat rent is beyond me........

Looks like the land of "sharing" is going to be my area - which i really didn't want to do anymore.......but needs must as the devil dares!

stop it, I', genuinely starting to feel sorry for you now.

Chips, what does that convert into in US $. My rent on a 530sqf single level unit is $613 a month. And its one of the cheaper ones.

lol - well, its 300 a month usually - which is round bang on 600 dollars at present rates (unless they changed in the last two months ). However, this is just a flat with one CRAP kitchen (seventies reject...), nice lounge (but ikea kinda feel), 1 large bedroom (about 14ft by 14ft), and a shoe box (about 8ft by 6ft).

Tis a 2 bed flat - but minus my flatmate = me paying 600 a month (1200 dollars per month). On top of that i have council tax, which will be an extra 70 a month for just me (that includes discount - council decided the flats worth around 85k!!!!!....somehow!). I still have to pay gas, leccie, water, phone, internet on top - so it all adds up alot . However, if i had signed for somewhere on a 12 month contract and left after 6, i woulda lost alot of money. If i had signed a 6 monther for nearly what i am paying now........well - it would be pointless. Best to take a beating at this point in rent, and hopefully find somewhere cheaper shortly, or try and find a student house to share. Worst is that i have a student loan upon which interest has been raised considerably by the government - despite the fact we were told it NEVER would be. I haven't looked to see how bad that is, cause i think i would pretty much sink into despair. One day i will be earning enough to pay it off, till then it will just get bigger and bigger . Oh well

Needless to say, i am in for a tough month!

sqr ft? Dunno - but probs around 3 times the size of my room i reacon. About 450sqr ft?

I might be a cold hearted b*****d, dut i think this is a spam scam:



1) E-Mail cant really be traced in that manner.
2) who in thier right minds would give them 32 cents a mail?

what do you lot reckon?


Edited by - Arania - The Emperor on 7/1/2004 5:18:51 PM

And you open these types of E-mails ?
* Twacks Arania *

No, I agree, I'm pretty sure this is a scam, because a "please donate" e-mail would be short and to the point. This one isn't. Dare I say it, Esq would probably agree with me on the one .........
