oh sorry saying deposit sounded as if i could afford something like this, i wish, no i will be paying 100 a week all inclusive, will be living with 4 others all similar age, early twenties, its going to be so fun

i'd love one of these - i'm driven to jealousy every time i cycle down Regent's Canal.
My only stickler - does it get internet? (spot the nerd)
- peterorpete0
good or bad?
- Nairn0
oh, and P&P - did you get this through a specific agency? if so - which one?
- peterorpete0
no i randomly found her on gumtree, some girl had decided to rent the whole lot and was asking others to move in and help pay the rent. such a find
- madirish0
if you are only paying 100 quid, you are stoked!! hells bells, i have never even lived in britain and i know that rules.

Wow - well, good find!
An uncle has/d one up just north of London somewhere - they're utterly brilliant in summertime.
How big're your bunks?
- peterorpete0
the bunks are bunky size, enough to fit a double and small desk and draws and not much else, probally go for a single bed though or futon ,maybe even go crazy and get a captains bed to get in the boaty mood. Oh it was posted on here orginally but i dont think you will find similar priced boats (the site is terrible)
- Nairn0
A bed's a bed, isn't it?
Thanks for the link - maybe in a couple of years I'll have the balls (and the readies) to do the same.
Enjoy!

That sounds great...
madirish, I just made an entire bottle of makers mark julep for a bachelor party this weekend.

Holy shit...that's been my dream since I was 12. No joke. Bastard!! So jealous.
- peterorpete0
she was still looking for one more house mate the last time i checked although the only room left is pretty pokey. if you decide to, say that you always wanted to live on a houseboat, that won it for me

aren't you worried that your house could sink?
