Ah, got it this time.

I tried a photo from the guardian and found the same photo elsewhere and then there was an option for similar ones.

Now all I need is a PI licence and a case to investigate.

Thanks.

Yea, we did away with cable this past September and use Netflix and apple TV (using a laptop and mediahint on the TV is awesome)

Honestly I don't think they're being too optimistic about the price of accommodation (as mentioned, I'd be wary or bed bug buildings and the slim chance if getting a furnished place) , but I would personally prefer to be down in Kitsilano or somewhere around there, downtown isn't my favourite area.

If you're trying to live in Vancouver on a budget, don't bother with a car. It's a needless expense. Unlike most Canadian cities, Vancouver (and I'm talking Vancouver proper, not Langley, not Chilliwack, not White Rock, not Squamish, etc.) is one of the few cities where you can live without a car easily. Having done so for many years, I'm a big advocate of living in Vancouver car free. However, it makes road trips more difficult. In those situations, hire a car, use one of the many car sharing programs, or befriend somebody with a car.

They do. Click on the 'prohibited' link at the top of the advert.

Oh that's better. I'll let her know too - thanks Siouxie!

Can't believe how many scammers there are, these people have no scruples?
