Are you bored?

Well volunteered! To help chore up that useless spare time, and help lill old Damini out, do you want to do me a favour? I knew you'd say yes....

I need an A4 poster designed, preferably with very little black in it (my black cartridge is nearly dead, and Im broke) to advertise the rooms in our student house to rent. I am asking for help because my paint skills are very much like my etchasketch skills, only with the option of adding colours, and I need a poster that stands out :)

Me and Kenny have found a nice lickle bungalow to rent, and we are moving in together :) And its FReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeDommmmmmmm!! from the parasites and bitchings and foul odours of the housemates!! Huzzah! However, we need to find someone to take over this house from now until July. UNTIL. Little retarded student shites find that concept quite hard to follow. My last poster said 2 rooms available to rent from now UNTIL July, when the tenancy runs out. So all the e-mails so far have been forrestgumping about moving in in July. ARGH.

So, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to take the following wording and make it pretty for me? Please? Pretty please? And if you can make it any clearer without coming across as a psycho angry bastard that the house is available to rent UNTIL July, then yay. Do whatever with the words. Well, within reason. I'm looking at you here Wij. Filthy puppy...

Heres what I originally put on the poster:

TWO ROOMS AVAILABLE TO RENT IN SHARED HOUSE!

Student House very close to bus stop, train station, pub, taxi rank, fish and chip shop, corner shop and town… and a short bus/cycle/drive to uni.

If one room is rented, price is £225 p/m. If both rooms go, it is £180 p/m.
ADSL is installed in the house.
On street parking for free
Larger of the two rooms has a double bed.

The rooms are available to rent until 1st July, when the tenancy runs out.

If interested please e-mail me at lca1@ukc.ac.uk


If any of you are gullible or just plain bored enough to help me out I will be a very grateful Damini.

Ta!

*waits for flaming to commence....*

While I am totally bored, and would love to help you out, my drawing skills are reminiscent of 3 months work by a dead rabbit in a paint factory.

but good luck anyway :0)

Thank you Sar!! I just tried to draw a picture of a house and I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or have myself institutionalised.

I have a few ideas already, should get the punters flocking.

:D

PS: Does the bungalow have its own en-suite goat for young Kenneth? Otherwise you'll find your free time being eaten up like mad ;)

Aww Sar this lickle Bungalow is lovely. Its all pine wood and golden and has carpets that dont look like they've been sick on, or had somebody die on... and the back garden has like a raised platform of pine wood, and we have a garage and theres the master bedroom and a study room and none of the wallpaper is left over from the seventies... Its just beautiful. I'm all happy and strangely wanting to buy an apron and bake cookies and sing out of a window to gathering birds.

But if we can't get anyone to rent the rooms in this student house off of us, we are going to have to play rent on two places until July. Which is not good for the poor impoverished student and her commuting bloke. So embed subliminal messages, whatever is necessairy :)

And trust me, the goat died of neglect after Kenny bought DAOC.

Lol, no.. I'm seriously un-maternal.

I actually have a recurring nightmare where I'm at a festival, and I suddenly remember I have a baby and I left at home for the weekend, and I realise its probably starved :( I think thats by minds way of telling me "No fecking way young lady, you're far too ditzy to look after a baby."

I had another dream where I gave birth to a sparrow and kept it in a matchbox.

But that's another story ;)

I can just imagine Rod Serling doing that in voice over.

"Imagine the scene, if you will. A young woman gives birth to a sparrow. She keeps this sparrow in a matchbox and raises it as her child. You have just entered the Twillight Zone"

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

Hash, as a l33t signwriter type person couldn't you make a huge house-sized metal sign of your poster? Or perhaps a big banner? I look forward to seeing photos of the finished article in place.

The wording is still wrong unfortunatly.

The problem so far is that people think the house is to rent FROM July this year until July NEXT year.

So we need to put in something like "Available from NOW until July 31st 2002".


EDIT:

Also we could put prices in and say that one large room is available on it's own but it would mean slightly higher rent.
We could not the prices.....

Damini?

Enough of this faffing around, if you want to get those rooms shifted you have to use a proven marketing method - SEX. I guarantee a good response from this one -
