    Dubstep and Techno records for sale, UK only.

    Hey guys, thought I'd return to spam you with some ebay listings. Friend of mine is selling his record collection, most of them hardly even played so I said I'd help him out by harassing you to purchase them. The two I suppose you lot would be interested in are the "Roots of Dubstep" double...

    Adult careers advice

    I hate my job (invoice clerk), but I have no idea what else I could do to make money instead. I'd quite like to do something where I'm working with other people, maybe in training or something. (Don't want to be a teacher tho, 'cause I can stand kids). Anyway... teenagers have have those...
