And your new flatmates are…
So you’re finally moving into a place of your own? Congratulations, first and foremost. In a world that never fails to deliver its share of letdowns and crushing disappointments, this is one rite of passage that actually lives up to the hype.

How timely! I’m living alone as of yesterday and I’ve wanted to live alone since I was 3. 31 years later…

College days are the craic alright but I have my own spot now and I don’t know if I’d be too keen on sharing again. 80% of people I shared with grand, but some of them utter cunts from hell. Never again.

@ DD – Myself and a couple of mates shared with a French guy once. One day I came home from work early to find that he’d just washed the dishes and left them soaking in that foamy oven cleaner stuff. Even when I told him he’d made a mistake, he insisted he hadn’t. (He didn’t speak English, therefore showing him the label was no use.) I never even asked him if he’d done this before and, if so, how many times.
