    clarke residential put a leaflet thru the door the other day, really nice modern places but rents of 650 pcm.

    Our place has character I guess, not ideal but as a post grad you have to go for the balance of wanting somewhere a bit nicer than your student digs but taking into account your stack of debt and sadly usually a lowly starting salary.

    I paid tax as soon as was earning enough to qualify, if you only work in the summer you can get an exemption form, if it's year round then it's tough.

    There is NEVER a candidate standing in my area who even comes close to representing what I beleive in - as Brid says, why should I offer any of them my support? If there was an option to actively vote Abstain, then it might be more logical to call those who did not vote at all hypocritical for whining, otherwise you're the hypocritical whiner :p
