Today we've officially accepted. My gf's parents had a look at it as well and they agree with us that with some work, we can turn it into a great place for us two.

We will probably already get the key before New Years, so then we can start working on the walls and the floors.

Although as previously discussed, I would prefer to buy, as opposed to renting.

I understand your point of view on that, but I don't think there's any bank that would grant us a supportive loan for a house/apartment when we officially have 0 euros income :p

One good thing about it is that we can stay for as long as we like (unless we earn more than 4500/month or something) and if the building ever needs to be demolished, we get 5000 euros to GTFO plus a new apartment within a few months.

All in all, I think its perfect for students like us, but for someone like you who already has a proper job it's indeed not that interesting to rent a cheap apartment.

Well didn't you pour in that tea yourself? That would imply that you poisoned yourself. Or was it the coffee lady who made the tea? In that case you might want to check her backgrounds again.

Yes, you're entirely correct - she gave me green tea, instead of black! Lousy double agent.

Ah that would explain your colo... wait black tea!? What the hell do you guys pour in it? Milk, sugar and tar or something? 0.0

That is excellent news! Good to see you and your girlfriend making a move with your lives. :)

Indeed it is.

We have a shitton of work to do now though and unfortunately we also have exams in the next couple of weeks. So moving and getting the apartment ready is probably gonna suck, but oh well... I'm sure we'll be happy in the end when everything's all nice and done.

Impressive. Looks like you mostly get nominated for the same categories. Of course best mod is new.

Yeah, and I've had far too much credit for Most Underrated. Good thing the latest awards forbid anyone from nominating myself for Most Underrated.

Well winning it three times in a row is a bit ironic of course. It would've been odd if you won it again this time, but yeah you were excluded. Not sure if I fully agree with that new rule, but for Most Underrated it makes sense at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised. However, Sam & Max haven't made any references to Merseyside while Conker's Bad Fur Day did. Sam & Max have gone as far as making references to modern internet age such as namedropping YouTube and Craigslist. Something like that would stick out like a sore thumb in The Simpsons.

Conkers Bad Fur Day made a reference to Merseyside? Where?

I believe they mention Birkenhead which is a town in Merseyside. Maybe a mention of scousers as well?

I can't remember any of that, but let's see...

You're right. Apparently the dungbeetles in the poo mountain have a scouse accent. I always thought it was Irish/Scottish or something. I can't remember Birkenhead being mentioned anywhere, but could be that I missed it somewhere between the lines.

Sam & Max indeed seems like a typical game with tons of references to all kinds of things. Just like Conkers Bad Fur Day.

There's definitely many references in Sam & Max.

Of course. They're totally different games, but perhaps they have a similar type of humor?

"Are you a bad enough president to rescue the dude?"

Lol!

That's one reference I do get :p

Yeah - the pin was fine in the end, the case was broken and I was warned about it, but didn't want to make a fuss, if I could have it done for free. Now it's got to be done, meaning that most of the watch that I was given for my 21st birthday will now have been replaced.

Well, the thing is that there are several supportive funds that we are entitled to. This is a supportive fund for students who don't live with their parents anymore, one to cover health insurance costs and one for renting a cheap apartment. The latter two are mostly for people who have little to no income, like us.

Thanks to these funds we might actually have some money left over at the end of the month so that we can also save in case we need it later. If we wouldn't have any money left to save I agree with you that we are in a bad situation, but now it's not so bad.

I hope that will never happen, but of course there's always a chance that it will. So far we're together for two and a half years and things are still going great, so I think it's a step that we can take. We have to do it sooner or later anyway, if it doesn't work out than I guess it wasn't meant to be.
