    ... but this[^] knackerbrain deserves a special callout for outright cheek. Let's see how many takers he gets. I assume that numbnuts wants us to pay for his flight and food as well. :rolleyes:

      So he wants to pay £125 for tuition and a further £125 for accommodation? Wow. I reckon I could rent out the shed at the bottom of my garden - which has been there since around 1923, is completely rotten, leaks, has boarded up windows (the glass having being smashed at some point in the distant past), no serviceable lock (or door, for that matter) and smells inside of a combination of dead cats and onions - for at least double his tuition and accommodation budget combined. And that's not even including food!

                        I'm not sure I see the problem. She's got a budget and is asking for someone to host her and tutor her - for pay. Could be fun for someone, I suppose. Her budget's very low for a first world country, but I suppose there are lots of english speaking people in other countries where her budget would be just fine. Perhaps it's not PC to post what amounts to an advert, but for some reason this one doesn't get me all PO'd, whereas other ads do. Am I missing something? Cheers, Drew.

                              $300 per week, 1200 per month is a lot of money in Asia. The market rate for a software developer in Lebanon with 3 years of experience is 1200-1500: IT Salaries[^] and Lebanon is way more expensive than china or India. I am not defending that person, if I needed a tutor I would find a school and even if I want to post in a forum I would probably do that in the Job forum or something. But what I am saying is that I dont find anything to mock about that post. That person doesnt deserve some of the replies he got...

                                    I'm not sure I see the problem. She's got a budget and is asking for someone to host her and tutor her - for pay. Could be fun for someone, I suppose. Her budget's very low for a first world country, but I suppose there are lots of english speaking people in other countries where her budget would be just fine. Perhaps it's not PC to post what amounts to an advert, but for some reason this one doesn't get me all PO'd, whereas other ads do. Am I missing something? Cheers, Drew.

                                    Yeah, that's kind of how I saw it too... If you don't ask, you don't get! I knew someone once that would ask for a discount whenever he bought anything. Four out of five times he would get it too!

                                        ... but this[^] knackerbrain deserves a special callout for outright cheek. Let's see how many takers he gets. I assume that numbnuts wants us to pay for his flight and food as well. :rolleyes:
