    Sofa-surfing has also become quite popular, apparently they are considering introducing it as a new event for the 2012 Olympics!

    There seems to be a lot of people without homes of their own on this forum, and I'm just wondering where you all live?

    Internet cafes.

    Being a landlord, and thus a member of the undead, sucking the lifeforce of their money from poor defenceless renters, I just hang about upside down in a cave waiting to strike at the bottom of the market and make a killing, preying off the misery of others slowly buying up all of the housing stock in my area....actually, I live in Bracknell which, let's face it, aint that different!;)

    I have a nice spot under a large oak tree. Bit damp today but at least there's plenty of fresh air.

    I assume the OP meant no home of their own either rented for their own use or bought. I will treat it as a serious question.

    Many people still live with their family and some share accommodation with other people. Still more live in B & B or a hostel.

    There might be other places to live, but these are the ones I thought of straight away.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Now that tickled my sense of humour...first time I have laughed all day! :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    Kirstie Allsop's bum crack?

    Should house a few 'young hard working' families in there.

    There are numerous hostels up and down the country, some run by HAs, others by voluntary organisations like Sally Army. Often people can live in these sort of places for years but few seem to see them as "homes".

    Amazingly enough they have these places called council estates where all us 'homeless' people congregate!!!!!

    These still exist?! I had heard rumours but I thought all these disappeared in the early 1980s?! ;)
