Title: Airbnb
Post by: @realAzhyaAryola on October 10, 2015, 11:01:16 AM
A good friend of mine who lives near the District of Columbia is now waiting for possible guests to his home. He recently fixed the lower level of his home to accommodate airbnb guests. He has signed up to airbnb, set up his profile, and now he's open for business.



Would you ever do it? Would you sign up to  have people stay with you or you stay at someone's place in a city you visit? Ready to ditch hotels for cozy home space?

Brian Chesky is the CEO of airbnb and he was recently seen in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:

I used airbnb once to stay in Berlin.  I had a bachelor apartment to myself in a central neighbourhood (Mitte).  It was around 45 euros/night.  The one weird/funny thing is the ad claimed to provide breakfast - which I didn't care about.  The person who owns the apartment showed me the breakfast when she showed me around - it was that I was welcome to the contents of her fridge - everything already opened/half unused  :laugh: It was funny.  I didn't mention it in the rating - it's not important.  What is important is I had a safe, clean, cheap, centrally located private space.

It's a good price for some places to stay.  There was a story about a couple in Calgary who had their house absolutely trashed though.  I'll dig up the video when I have more time.

You should put your house up. Fill it with Australians in ski season. Mmmmmm, the warming fragrance of vegemite on hot toast...Tim Tams everywhere. Pies, covered in sauce.

Then where would I go?



Vegemite.  GAG!

That is the reason I will never let strangers use my house, out buildings or land.

I'd let Renee hang out in our barn.

You don't have a barn, Freud.



In fact, if memory serves, you live in a sparse Government flat.

Is that where you killed your husband's cat? ac_biggrin



I have a feeling that anyone that stayed in a home of a psycho like you would need to sleep with one eye open.

The offer still stands, Renee.



I could get some machinery moved so you can sprawl out fully in a corner.  :001_tongue:

Must we do this in another non firewalker thread, Spectre. Is that your goal? You know, to have every last non firewalker submitted post of mine moved (despite the double standards) and vindictive nature of what I've had to of late field from the likes of you and Renee because you've both made it your strategy to grey the distinctions between insulting and earnest but with no room for playful unless YOU'RE both calling your manic exploits playful and mine something else?



This is an issue for you two and has got nothing to do with me. I hope other people here can also see what kind of crap you're trying to pull and appropriately likewise tell you off for it. It's simple minded and resentfully bitter for no good reason other than your insecure egos. Get that looked at by a professional, eh?

I think people are hesitant to stick up for you because you're playing charades and everyone knows it.  If you were yourself, they would probably defend you because you weren't trying to play them.

People are hesitant to do the right thing because I try to do the right thing even if Renee and Spectre are hellbent on not doing the right thing, and that's all because it's me playing people and not Renee and Spectre playing with themselves?  ac_beating

I did not start this thread so that it can be moved eventually to the Fire Walkers subforum where I do not believe it belongs. Thank you.



Dinkz, I do not have time to read past posts and neither do I have the time to analyze your forum persona. You presented yourself to me as a female and that is what you are to me. I have no issues with you because, in my experience, you have never been unkind to me so all I'll say is this--sorry you're getting so much flak but you're okay in my book.

That's all I could have ever asked for or expected, AA. Thanks

Must you carry on with this stupid pathetic troll act on this board? This is not one of your hide in the bushes and throw water balloons at strangers for churlish laughs type of forums. You are really testing our patience

What seems to be puzzling to me is the "fixation" others here have on you, Dinkz. I'm sorry and I hope you don't get offended if I declare that I have no such obsession over you.  :laugh3:



Some of us are pretty open on the forum of who we are but how do we really know that we are not posting with inmates or Mommy's boys who never emerge from the basement? I could be Her Majesty the Queen. Who really cares? ac_toofunny



I'm actually fed up with this business about you. There are other more interesting issues going on in the universe than what your gender truly is.

Nobody here is obsessed with this fraud. What puzzles us is why this troll decided to make a non flame forum the recipient of his silly get in your face act.



He is a guy you know.

QuotePolice showed up at an Airbnb rented by a musician and his friends near Atlanta, Ga., on Friday, October 9 after neighbours allegedly suspected the guests were robbing the home.

I've already consented for you to call me Freud along with any other people who wish it, Spectre.



I'm a big hairy male called Freud now. See how easy it is now?



So let's move on then, eh?
Title: Re: Airbnb
Post by: Bricktop on October 12, 2015, 06:47:42 PM
I do not need your consent, twinky dinky. I'll call you what I choose.



In this case I will call you the handle you are most known by.



But, prove me wrong, and I will offer a sincere apology.
Title: Re: Airbnb
Post by: Frood on October 12, 2015, 07:22:58 PM
I don't care one way or another, Spectre. I gave you what you asked for and therefore it should be a non issue.



I'm a man named Freud. I have a man body with man bits and I think man thoughts about manly things.



See? It's all wrapped up for you just the way you desired.

Playing along doesn't cut it.



You simply don't know when to stop, do you.
