Your musical compatibility with pauldraper is Low

Hurrah, that's good! Paul Draper was in Mansun, who I used to really like I liked them most early on, hoping they would become huge so the super rare first single would be worth some money, but it didn't really happen.Thanks popbitch for that link to...

�1.5k for the month? My mortgage is more than that!

Actually it's not, but it could conceivably be.

Yes I would think you need a proper "pad" in order to let it out for a decent amount of money, everyone must be on the make in the right parts of town.

I was going to get a haircut, but...

Our freezer broke down today, all the haircut money I'd saved will have to go towards that.The inside back of the freezer has bulged out (not with frost, I don't know what with) and it's forced the drawers out so they pushed the door open and it thaw...
