anyone shared a house with people they didnt know - good move or bad?>
People you don't know are just friends you haven't met yet....
I actually just got a new flat yesterday, will be sharing with 2 other people I don't know. One of them, let's call him The Boy, seemed alright when I met him yesterday. The other one, we shall call The Girl, I have yet to meet but The Boy said she is "nice and lively and bubbly". I'm guessing from that that she is fat. Which is of no real consequence at the end of the day..
Basically, I would say that 9 times out of 10, sharing with someone you don't really know is alright. They'll be just as reticent letting a total stranger into their flat. Most people in the world are nice, but be careful in any case.
That's my good deed for the day done. Also, visit

Now, back to the Tennents for me. There's a joke in there somewhere....
