Tabs anywhere ?

My housemate Andy is starting a job in Cambridge soon, and is looking for somewhere to live there... He'll be working on the Science Park in Melbourn, so somewhere near there (or at least on the South side of the city) is what he's after. He's currently trawling through millions of adverts, but without a lot of success.

Does anyone know of anyone seeking a housemate ? Or who's trying to let a room ? Can anyone recommend letting agents, or warn against ones which should be stayed away from ?

Andy's 28, well-behaved, a smoker (but willing to be an outdoors-only smoker), and extremely useful for fixing things :)

On a more general note, does anyone know when [livejournal.com profile] davefish is getting back from Leipzig ?

Mr Fish is back on Tuesday, very late. Day before I land in fact :)
*bounces*
Getting back would be so much simpler if the person who was supposed to be taking the bed hadn't realised she couldn't quite so late in the day... *stresses*

Thanks :)

Good luck with sorting out all your trials and tribulations before you come back... *hugs*

Tabs?

Guitar fingering instructions; sticky out bits for holding things by; or clear, caffienated carbonated drinks.

Or some Northern thing?

Tabs = the opposite of all that is good, noble, and dark blue of hue.

i.e. Cantabrigians!

(We love them really, of course.)

Ah. Of course :-)

I'm not used to the first syllable being dropped.

You know, we don't have a corresponding term for the Oxford lot... probably because we're just nice :-)

I've seen people give "Oxymorons" a go, but I think that's just trying too hard!

Why are people posting blank messages ?

Because you aren't illuminated.

Cambridge

Hmm.. I have a friend in Cambridge who is currently leaving his house abandoned weekdays while he rents a place in the Barbican due to work... I shall enquire... he's on that side of town.

Starting when? Duncan & I are leaving Karen's old house at the start of October, and that's in the South of the city.

Would this the house that [livejournal.com profile] zotz is also moving out of ? I talked to him briefly about it, but for some reason thought it was at the wrong end of the city.

Andy's looking for somewhere starting in the next couple of weeks...

Accoring to my sources he got into the house 15 minutes ago.

What are you after him for?
