snowychap Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Don't have the room and never have. My old man had a rather 'open house' policy for the briefish time that he was in possession of anything more than one bed digs though, apparently. Open house meant front door open and anyone could stay (though if undesirable they were ejected by the others). I've never worried about people staying for a bit (my first night at Poly saw half the SU officers staying over - it was a bit of a surprise waking up in a new room let alone with a dozen irishmen collapsed in a drunken heap on the floor!) but I'm too set in my ways to live happily with myself without difficulty let alone with other people (most especially strangers). Edit: If I had somewhere big enough so that guests could not impinge upon my inner world then there would be space for all and sundry. Unless you were (or were related to) politicians (some exceptions made). Edited February 2, 2014 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I once made a friend leave my house. Villa were losing to West Ham and all he could do was laugh so I think it was justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That proves you're not English. An Englishman would allow them their little joke, politely entertain them and subsequently employ an Irish/Scots mercenary to lay waste to their progeny.

Yeah we English are far to polite to ask people to leave ... We'd usually be more subtle and stick a Ramones CD on so they'd leave of their own accord This gag would usually be reserved for Queen , but heck we've had new developments tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone makes a child abuse joke they must donate five pounds to a charity of their choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why didn't you just choose a single attractive female lodger which would make your present situation a bit more pleasant?I did but she dropped out at the last minute. We went through this in the relationship thread. A stunning Portuguese air hostess came to see the room, wanted it, but dropped out at the last minute Maybe she twigged you were posting pictures of her and talking about her on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Last June we finally got rid of the stepson who moved back in after uni . Two weeks ago my own son (22) moved in with us because my deranged ex wife threw him out. I hate sharing my living space with anyone but the missus but really had no choice in this one.
