My housemate is doing my head in.

[MikeyB37]

i dont care how shit her roommate is, south brum is not going to entice people from the greatest city on earth

[Tugger2k]

Bordering on Warwickshire i'll have you know, Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington, Stratford just down the road... oh, and Coventry

[MikeyB37]

the key word there is bordering

that sounds like estate agent speak to me

[Tugger2k]

Meh, i could bore you with the fact that we were part of Warwickshire til a few years back (well, about 20 years actually), but i wont

and on that note i'm outta here, gonna try and fight the lodger related stress/insomnia and get some zeds.

[Filthy]

Tell me about it, i'd get shot of him but being blunt, i need the money right now.

The last time i 'had a word' (slapped him one ) he dragged 6 bin bags full of crap out of there and it still didn't look any different

In my opinion, the further you are away from Birmingham, the better....

I bet swine flu won't hit Birmingham... Not even a virus will go there... ahaha...

Only kidding (kind of)...

[emmmmma]

f**king hell man - thats sick

and im not the most cleanliest of people at the best of time but that is just pure gross

[emmmmma]

<edit> sorry to hijack your thread emmmmma...

Move to South Birmingham!

[cassandra13]

Hi there, another tip for emmmmma (and others who may want to try it), my old boss once had a boss who was a fanatic for tidying / cleaning the office, she shredded some liquorice and put it around the corners / skirting boards etc to look like mouse poo, then sat back and had much amusement watching the ensuing panic!!!

[rolfester]

When she is out, sneak into her bedroom, unscrew the light switch fixings and put the contents of a tin of sardines inside. Screw it all back together, sit back and watch the panic as the smell becomes overpowering over a couple of weeks.

Sorry this is totally off topic i.e. it has nothing to do with either Glastonbury OR swine flu... But my housemate is seriously getting on my nerves. I am a clean person, but I don't feel the need to constantly disinfect things. She on the other hand does, and I am in the unfortunate position of living with my landlady so I just have to sort of grin and bear it. This is the woman who didn't fancy Glastonbury because her boyfriend wouldn't come (he is not a 'festival type' whatever that is...), mind you she would probably have been hoovering the Brothers bar so it is just as well. So anyway, I just fancied a rant.

And on a sidenote, anyone looking for an amazingly lovely flatmate in London?

Please feel free to rant too.

[Filthy]

I had an Ex that was a bit like this.

His thing, if he saw any crumbs he would put a post it next to said crumbs then he would draw an arrow and write the word CRUMBS on it to piont it out!!!

I used to put a post it underneath his and write 'Here Pinky, here Perky, Dinners up'

Did not go down well, but it made me giggle

I'm loving these suggestions!

The moral of this story is never ever ever ever live with your landlord/lady. No matter how nice they may be, It always sucks. I've done it before ... never again

[sammysundae]

we had a pretty good one. can't get any photos, but we had a poker player live here who just disappears for weeks on end. he once left a load of shopping in his room for 6 weeks. the milk was in two layers, a clear green layer and a thick brown layer. it had burst out onto the floor and there must have been 4 different types of mould just on the floor. there was fungi in the bags growing and the smell was unbelieveable. then, on the day he was going to get evicted, we found his asleep on his soiled mattress and the housing company cleaned his room for him and let him off. what the hell!

to be fair, he never caused us any trouble, but i don;t understand how someone can live like that.

[Pilton]

You could have written "Chief" and drawn Penfold

I'm currently very thankful that I've never lived with anyone either obsessively clean or so disgustingly messy... My tent at Glastonbury in 2007 was cleaner than that picture!

I'd say move - but then I'm biased as I'm looking for a new housemate right now!

I am! Looking at a flat tonight and one tomorrow (in Camden! Hoping for superior bands to those that play at Brixton Academy...). Are you in London?
