It's literally about a week old. Yes it looks like that, well...just a hole with some lines. Haha, but yeah it's like that.

Thank you.


No problem. Are there six gold line things, or two? You probably have one with two, which is for dial-up internet, and one with six for Ethernet.

Oh and there's one with two lines on the other side.

I'm so glad I'm not taking a tv with me, it would be too much trouble for me to sort out both the internet and that!

I'm bringing an extra long ethernet cable to see if that works too :wink:

and what are you all doing with televisions? I'm bringing one, but I don't really want to be the only one =/ Going to contact the tv-license people as they state they need a written letter if you're going to just use a TV for games/dvds

I wouldn't bother sending a letter, just ignore their post because you're not breaking any laws although if they keep nagging you it might be worth it. I'm not bringing a television, I don't have my own one anyway.

They can state whatever they want. Fact of the matter is that you certainly dont need to contact them. Infact by doing so you just provide them with your name at the address and so they can direct their harrasing spam mail to you more easily.

Dont waste the time or money contacting them.

Nah you're in the reduced room 6, I'm afraid it's coat hangers for you :P

Just kidding, I actually don't have a clue. I don't think I'll bother with bringing a TV, I watch it for about half an hour once a week at my friend's if I'm lucky. Not exactly worth the £130 TV licence in my opinion. If I'm bored I have the internet or I'll draw or read or something...

My friend has Sky TV in his halls across the road from me anyway so I'll just go and leech off him if I'm desperate.

eeeeeeeeeeeee, moving today, there has already been tears from the mother, this is going to be fun.
especially with roadworks on the M5, its going to take me forever to get there!
Found - One Trolley, Tesco variety. It is situated in our corridor, and we don't know why. We didn't even go near Tesco last night...oh my. Now, whenever people move in, they think the three of us here last night are total inebriates.
lol sounds amazing.

I live in senghenydd court and after I left the union me and my flatmate tried to walk home and somehow ended up all the way at talybont south !

Good times !
