Lift Buttons - Common Area Damage

On a more serious note now.

In the past there have been problems with damage with in lifts and other common areas. To make it clear damage to any common areas will not be accepted. If you are found involved with damaging any property whatsoever you will be responsible for its repairs.

Examples: Damage to: lift buttons, lift posters, lift walls, pool sticks, marks on walls, ceilings and walls. These are just a few examples. But please use common sense in regards to what you might do in the building. Remember we have plenty of cameras around the building. Some you can see, some are hidden. There are also staff and residential advisors in the building 24 hours a day to keep an eye on things.

Note: No damage, No problem.

Jims Joke Corner

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man. "We don't have any money for food." the poor man replied. "Oh, come along with me then." "But sir, I have a wife with two children!" "Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man. "But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered. "Bring them as well!" They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall!"
