Hi! My name is Gaby, I’m 20 years old and I just bought my first second-hand car. Before yesterday I had always used the family car, and did not need to worry about literally any of its upkeep. My only responsibilities were a) don’t wreck the car and b) fill it up for petrol at …
Selling a car is such a pain. There are so many hoops you have to jump through, just to get it ready to sell. Isn’t it funny, how buying a car is one of the best things in the world? Selling one, though? Simply the worst. Imagine this: you’ve been keen to sell your car …

Odd-Match sure has been a blessing to my social life. I used to talk to no real human people outside of life, and now I talk to… um… hang on a moment. According to a percentage calculator, that would be an increase of infinity. Times two! I don’t know, but I have two friends now, because …
