Property management fees 7:57pm on 20 Apr 2009 I started renting around 9 months ago from a letting agent. My partner and I were contacted directly my the landlord informing us that the letting agent wasn't paying the rent to the landlord. Now we are dealing directly with the landlord but we don't have a contract because the letting agent will not release our deposit! These companies are terrible. Any repairs have been sorted by the landlord because the letting agent does nothing.
Young and unemployed 6:44pm on 28 Dec 2008 I can sympathise with many of these people. You can go through your youth trying your best, working hard and getting the best results but this seems to count for nothing in the jobs market and this makes me annoyed at the injustice and arbitrary nature of job allocation. If you can get 10 A* GCSEs, 5 "A" A levels and a First Class degree and can prove yourself in an interview, you should automatically get a top job to prove yourself in. Why then are these people sometimes left jobless or on minimum wage when they have worked so hard and are so talented??

Why should someone who failed their way through school but knows a few people and has a few basic skills be more likely to get a job than someone who has a way higher IQ, work ethic and passed all their exams with flying colours?

Employers and Universities should be made to work together to ensure talented people get jobs where their skills can be used to benefit society.
Ethnicity and the five-year-old 4:33pm on 19 Oct 2008 I think that some parts of this study could well be missing the real reason for the differences. People are all different. It might not be because a child is poor or from an ethnic miority that they are behind others- it is probably because of the amount of attention they get from parents. I'm sure there are plenty of poor ethnic minority children out there that are the stars in their schools. They don't use their background as excuses, they just work hard and have lots of attention from their parents, as every child should. That is the real reason for success and failure.
Curious complaints - hiccups 7:24pm on 30 Sep 2008 I know this has probably been said before but I have never failed to get rid of hiccups by holding my breath, but their is a technique.
You have to breathe in as much as you can, then breathe in some more, and some more until you cannot take in any more.
Then hold it for as long as you physically can, trying to take in more and more breath the whole time.
Do this for around a minute/until you feel light headed.
Sounds unhealthy I know, I hope no-one has ever collapsed doing this but for me it has just always got rid of the hiccups.
In my experience, most people don't have the stamina/patience to follow this through but it always works!
Some Friday Fun? 7:31pm on 27 Jun 2008 Three texts?? What network are you on? 6 and two thirds for me!
