Wow, poor jimmy. Learnt the hard way that some people are as shitty as the pavements.

Hahaha, I can't show you a photo - it's very distinctive and my anonymity would be forfeit. You are, of course, welcome to come round and delight in its company once I've forged a path through the boxes. I'm sure he will charm you with tales of conservatories long past. And Voyageur, thanks for your wise advice, but even a stealth-throw isn't going to cut it. You might be all la di dah and many sofa-ed, but I've not yet attained your dizzy heights, so short of getting rid of my bed, I'm afraid I'm going to have to limit myself to just the one sofa for now.

Yeah. Not ideal - when I turned up to do the inventory and collect the keys, things were not as promised. But it was a separate inventory agency, who couldn't tell me any more than "this is what's in the flat now", and too much else going on at the time to be able to sort it out. So I'm now just trying to work out how to make the best of the situation.

titch juicy - ENVY!!!

I bloody love those bollards. And what's more, they made Ma RosieH make a smutty joke - and I've never seen that happen before. Big up the Gormley.

My questions were as follows: - Are there any limits to what could be charged for a replacement sofa when I come to move out? - If I buy a replacement sofa for ?600 can they tell me it was worth ?2k and I have to stump up the difference? - Does anyone know any dirt-cheap long term storage solutions, where I could stick it and not have to think about it? In what way, exactly, did you answer any of them? You didn't. Where did I ask about the landlord's legal obligation to remove furniture? I didn't. You were just being a knob. Calling you a troll isn't juvenile (if we're telling it bluntly, you know, like what it is, then you don't seem to understand things very well and I recommend the local businesses section where there seem to be several good tutors who could help with reading and comprehension). Calling you a knob on the other hand probably does count as juvenile. But them's the breaks I guess.

Ryan Adams tonight. Excited.

Band name, surely?

Thanks OD, good advice. Yes, the agents in this case have proved shockingly bad - furniture that they told me wouldn't be there was, and furniture that was supposed to be included wasn't. Net result, I have very bruised shins.

No, I am being very responsible with the sofa, unlike how I would be in a 4x4, when I jump in Annette's passenger seat Sissy Spacek-style and we go on a killing spree. That said, if I saw Annette cycling along the pavement, she'd probably get it too!

Doh! Must spend more time on the forum and less moving packing boxes. Edited to remove my comments to Vicanna, because, you know, life's too short to feed the troll. Huguenot and seemster, good ideas. I'll explore those. Short of that, I think I'm spending my evenings trawling long term storage websites.

Moved into a new rental flat. The landlord's sofa is hideous, takes up too much space in spite of being only a 2-seater and isn't a sofa bed. I have my own sofa that I'd rather use. Have asked for the sofa to be taken away, which isn't an option apparently. So, I can't bear to live with it, and wondered what the implications are if I get rid of it and buy a replacement when I move out. The alternative is that I put it in storage, but I can't find anywhere that will cost me less than about ?600 for the year, and frankly I could buy a new sofa for that and not have the hassle of transporting it somewhere. It isn't the landlord's home, so the sofa isn't a treasured possession, so I'm not too worried on that score. But are there any limits to what could be charged for a replacement sofa when I come to move out? If I buy a replacement sofa for ?600 can they tell me it was worth ?2k and I have to stump up the difference? Or does anyone know any dirt-cheap long term storage solutions, where I could stick it and not have to think about it?

Sue, are you? And did you? XxNikkixX, hope you find what you're looking for.

"average" methinks

I thought the OP a very perceptive post. It's champagne pinkos like you lot that have sent this country to the dogs. If the Lords didn't eat subsidised swan for lunch, you can bet your bottom dollar we'd see more bobbies on the beat. Let's march on westminster.

Stewart Lee is going to be my husband. In an entirely non-stalky, non-kill-his-wife sort of way. Eddie Izzard will be my mistress.

I'm puzzled though - so is your mum what? Back or brilliant? My mum's back is brilliant, but I don't think that's the same.

Just a little note to say thanks for all the tips and advice. Those of you who know me will be unsurprised to learn that I was a wow. Those of you who don't will think me a right w@nker. I can disagree with neither of those viewpoints.

Can I get some bionic knees? These ones are giving me gyp.

Eddie Izzard is very delicious. And funny. He's not going over the cliff on my freewheelin bus of death.

Oh my golly gosh GiGi, are you suggesting that Daniel Kitson's not as funny as he thinks he is? Lawks!
