I love it when people just go bitch-crazy at one another.

If he didnt provide you with heat in winter for a whole month then the place was probably prejudicial to your health and really wasnt fit for human habitation. Thats a big breach on his part, but the solution still requires tact and diplomacy. I seriously think you need someone else to do the negotiation on your behalf as you sound like you'd perform like a complete mong on the day. No offence, like. Like who? Theres four more of you in your igloo isnt there? One of them! Seriously though I just get the impression from the way you've set out the details that you're a bit all over the place with it. If you want a decent amount back then you've got to be able to justify it and anticipate any of the arguments he might come out with. The bottom line is to be able to say how it affected your enjoyment of the property, for how long, and how this is a major breach of his side of the contract; In essence he has contracted to provide you with shelter, warmth, running water and sanitation. In return, you've contracted to pay him a certain amount for those things and, in your enjoyment of the property, to take adequate care of it. An unheated property particularly in winter would not be fit for human habitation. The Landlord will know this and will be aware this has certain legal implications but you want to be careful not to offend him by implying that he's renting out a slum. You need to strike the right balance by reasoned negotiation. While you're at it you could ask him about your 0207 conundrum.

I said that I thought Liverpool were in with a chance of the title this season. I don't know whether I shot you down or whether I said this in response to something you posted. Do you have a suitable punishment prepared for the guilty parties?

You might want to talk to him first and come to some sort of agreement. Or at least inform him how much you're withholding and why. There's no sense just short-paying and telling him after as he'll think you're just making an excuse up for being short on your rent.

A tenner a month for a better picture is a rip-off tbh. Doesn't make the programme any better. It's gonna need to be free before I sign up.

You want last month's rent back?

Happy Birthday mister. Enjoy it in the California sunshine (you bastard).

Cheers. I actually saw a couple of minutes of it but turned over not realising what it was. Sounds interesting enough though.

What's it about?

If I'd done everything else that it's possible for a human being to do, and there was only this left, I'd still need some further convincing to actually go ahead with it.

Shouldnt have bothered with a law degree tbh. Thats bob on. Including the bit about students. Bear in mind as well, T-Keith, your landlord can't re-rent this house with no central heating as no one would be interested, so it's in his best interests to get it sorted before you lot get to the point of telling him to fuck off. But he won't do anything without a significant level of hassle from you (he's probably enjoying the thought of you students living in the cold ). Ring him, tell him you can arrange for someone to be in whenever he sends an engineer/plumber/whatever in, and tell him you want someone out by the weekend - or at least a firm arrangement in place for someone to come out next week. Tell him that unless this is sorted you'll be going to the Citizens Advice Bureau to discuss the legal ramifications of withholding rent. Basically, unless you hassle the bloke, he'll do nowt.

Personally I would be on the phone to him constantly pestering him about sorting it out, and explaining that I didn't feel that I should pay any rent unless he kept things like the central heating in working order. Obviously you've got a busy schedule of staying up til 4am and sleeping all day, so will find it harder to fit this sort of communication in.

Knobheads, the pair of you. The time I reacted was when some lad in Pakistan said that the fans in the stadium had contributed to a defeat. So shut it.

9-1 with Coral. Money where your mouth is tbh.

Have got 6 of these: http://www.consolepassion.co.uk/nintendo-game-and-watch.htm from when I was a kid that my mam showed me she had kept today. All in perfect working order. They're going for £60 by the look of things. Crazy geeks.

Keep going lads. Someone's bound to come up with a funny one eventually. The law of averages demands it.

They make you look like a mong man Gejon. They're the denim equivalent of calipers.

It's Bonnie fucking Langford! I'll thcweam and thcweam!

Mushy toes. Don't know why I find that funny.

Haha, you absolute minge!

Images of Alex on the job and setting light to £50 notes now. Fucking desparate here. Come and do my cleaning to take your mind off it pet This is going to make me sound sad as fuck but I was ironing for five hours straight, yesterday. Work. Iron. Bed. Work Rock n roll eh? Jesus wept. There's nothing remotely straight about that.

I'm so bored. 3 hours to go and I can already tell it's gonna d r a g.

Do you always make the boys work for a cock shot?

A ginger lass? 200 quid? Do you get to keep her?

I bet Chris Nicol thinks he's a right clever shite now he's got his name in the paper. What a teat.
