[QUOTE=GlebGuy;51235642]I'll go to CAB and other places. But before then, I'd really need your advice, Facepunch. If anything.[/QUOTE]
Always say 'cheers mate' to the bus driver when you're getting off, or he'll smother you with dayrider tickets in your sleep. This is the advice you wanted, right?

Best meal deal crisps are those sour cream and chive squares, gorgeous stuff.
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;51234120]they tried to "flirt" with / harass you and then decided to try and attack you when you told them to fuck off? wow, that person sounded like a first grade F * * cunt

[QUOTE=GlebGuy;51235339]So I work part-time in a restaurant, and my boss came up to me to ask me about the new place I'm staying. He said that some co-worker is getting dodgy with the government, Head of Human Resources wants boss to give all info he has on his workers. So, he asked me where I live, I told him, asked for rent, then things got a little scary.
So he says that since I'm living without paying rent, there could be questions and maybe trouble (he thinks I'm in some kind of scamming scheme or something), but that's not true. He says however that there's a thing called 'payment in kind,' which means if I help around the house then everything should be hanky-dory.
What I want to know is again, IS it illegal somehow? Because I'm staying without giving any money, I am a non-tenant occupier, but [url=http://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/advice_topics/renting_rights/about_your_tenancy_rights/non-tenant_occupiers]this page[/url] doesn't mention if it's illegal for me to be living there or not. What gives, Facepunch?[/QUOTE]
the only way i could see it being dodgy is if he's illegally subletting and even then it would be a civil breach of contract, not a criminal case.

What does your boss mean when he says "some co-worker is getting dodgy with the government"?
You're only legally obliged to give your address to your employer. Anything else is none of his concern. It may be that he was trying to give you advice, in your best interest, but he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
Like it's been said numerous times already, the only problem would be if your mate is renting his flat and his contract has a subletting clause. But even then, you're not paying for anything so it's probably not a problem. If it were a problem, it'd be a civil one and not criminal.
You're not breaking any laws. Stop flapping for fuck's sake. And lol for thinking that a lawyer would be wasting their time on FP

Is your best friend being accused of killing his girlfriend with a clock shaped like The Thinker? Don't be trusting any redheads giving you necklaces.
One of my friends made everyone in the lecture sing me happy birthday. It was a bit awkward but very sweet. Then one of them tried to start birthday beats. I'm 19 and there were 200 odd people, so not sure my arm would have survived 3800 punches.
My girlfriend was going to go out tonight, but she's changed her mind.
I always feel a bit put out by that. Not sure why, I suppose I was looking forward to some guilt free laziness. Or doing the washing up, I find it hard to do washing up unless I'm alone in the house. Again, I've no idea why. I'm a very complex person
whos had heinz tinned tomato soup?
Like every British person in existence.

Isn't it all Japanese sizing?
Despite them not actually being based in Japan at all.
It's quite funny, it was from some random area of the UK and has everyone thinking they are Japanese.
One of the only things I am a large in.

What's the deal with the cult of John Lewis? Everyone pissing themselves over opening one here, the same thing from everyone in my hometown. I don't get it. Did it start with the christmas ads? No one used to care but all of sudden the release of their christmas ad has become some weird annual national event. It's just a shop
