    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?
    • ...

            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:

Make a fortune with a love den for lonely dev dudes... :-D :rolleyes: Chris can be the pimp. But a serious idea is that telemarketing companies are often on the look out for space to set up in quickly. And if you absolutely cannot find anyone to rent, give it over to some good cause (if the building regulations allow it) like a soup kitchen or a place to sleep etc. Wait! I have it...

                                        Yeah, "Big Brother 3 : The Windows developers". That would make fascinating viewing for the millions wouldn't it. A bunch of guys sitting around, talking about ASP.NET for 8 weeks. Heaven. :D

                                          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

                                          • 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?
                                          • ...

                                          I would rent it at a low cost to a well planned startup company... Give someone a chance...
