Feb 10, 07 11:40 am — So, I'm thinking about getting a lodger. It's easy money and I have 2 spare bedrooms. Does anyone have any experience with lodgers? Any hints or tips?
So far I have either a stunning English blonde or a Polish blonde to choose from - I think my selection criteria may be a little skewed.
Anyone?
I thought about it, but one is quite small - only big enough for a bed and not the camera equipment I plan on installing

Make sure they have a job .. or at least an income .. go look at thier car too .. if they trash their car, they will trash your house.
Go with the Polish Blonde, that way you can learn new cultures too
Good luck!
You'll need it...
Roommates Suck!
No shit, why not just get married?
Roommates = hassle without benefit of sex! Marriage is better at least get blown once in a while.
Really? Wow.
Once in a while equates to once every 10 years
I reckon I'd have more luck with a Polish lodger
Just tell the Polish lodger it is a home made twinkie and she needs to suck the filling out!
Be careful they don't take your saucepans and kitchen knives to their room & return them (dirty I might add) a week later.
Why would someone take a saucepan to their room???

See that question? You start sharing your living space you will be asking lots of questions like that.
Some exapmples I can give that are not made up.
"why are there thousands of empty spools in there?"
"where did everything in the bathroom go?"
"where's my food?" (this one will happen a lot, also where's my ? will be common. Whatever you assume is common sense to leave be, won't be.
"who moved my car and where did you put it?"
Who is this 'Anonymous' posting all over the blogs and why can't I see his posts?
Do I need magic sunglasses?
They are spam attempts, but they get blocked automatically by the site and put into a holding queue until one of us can delete them. Due to a (*gasp*) bug in the site code, while they're in the queue they can be seen in the comment index list, but not actually viewed by a user.
Let me know if you need a contact for some Viagra and I'll forward you on the contents of one of the messages ::grin::
Anything on that opportunity to help the Nigerian Prince?
Well, I don't want to speak too soon, but just as soon as my good friend Mbopo finishes processing the bank details I gave him, I'm on easy street !
Ahhhh. I see.
Thank you.

Two blondes and two spare bedrooms. Do the math there, Andy
