    We made a great deal with a partner of our company and therefore moving to a new office, 18 month before our rental contract ends (This is the current office[^]). Although we try hard to find a successor who will rent the office and tease the rental guy to release the contract, we don't seem to have success either. So my question to you:

    "What would you do with an 160² office that is unused for the next 18 month?"

    (hey, we even have a 2 MBit/s internet connection!) Would you

    • Use it to make big parties all day and night long?
    • Re-rent it to some other guys for 1 cent/m² to make at least a few bucks?
    • Do some other, really really crazy thing?
    • ...

        1. Stuff it with as much equipment as you can spare. Load some good games up. Set up a couple of UT servers, etc. 2) Troll the city, grab everyone you can find with beer and gaming skills. 3) Have fun...

            You did say 2 MBit/s right?! What are the living costs like over there? I'd give you a fiver for 12 months rent? No, make that a tenner. Are private brothels legal over there? Are the ceilings mirror tiled? Oh the fun you could have in a mirror tiled private borthel with a 2 MBit/s connection... :-D [edit] No I did not forget to set my h.a.s. ratings. :suss:

                                  You did say 2 MBit/s right?! What are the living costs like over there? I'd give you a fiver for 12 months rent? No, make that a tenner. Are private brothels legal over there? Are the ceilings mirror tiled? Oh the fun you could have in a mirror tiled private borthel with a 2 MBit/s connection... :-D [edit] No I did not forget to set my h.a.s. ratings. :suss:

                                          Hmm... action cricket balls & monitors are 2 items I've always thought of as mutually exclusive - I'm willing to change my ways however! :-D
