coo - how many screens?!

No picture of the bathroom either :eek:

Probably in a bit of a state seeing as there's a shaving mirror behind the kitchen sink!

PS2, PS3, Xbox, Wii, and a PC - at least there should be a decent broadband connection into the flat!

It's not much at all, just a TV and a double monitor. Plenty of people have double monitors especially if they programme, play games or use fancy software like for making music.

The place doesn't actually look dirty, the kitchen and carpet etc look really clean. Maybe it's a tenant who's annoyed with the landlord for selling and was trying to give the impression of living in squalor.

Possibly, but if I was doing that, I don't think I'd necessarily think to move my toothbrush & shaving mirror to the kitchen though ? I think this is how the guy actually does live!

He must love it. Move from the PC to the Xbox, watch a movie, print some stuff, fall asleep on the sofa, wake up, iron a shirt really carefully for work (which also occurs in front of a screen).

Worryingly spot on I think

Totally agree, seen the graphics tablet? This person obvisouly works in graphic design/media where a dual monitor setup is common. (I'm sat here at work with 3 screens on the go - am I "geek" - no, I just use multiple applications in my work)

The other is a TV.... which we all have right?

It's a small flat, with someone working from home, more than likely on a freelance basis, trying to carve a living in a very tricky industry.

Pick it apart for the mess, price etc, but 3 screens is really not anything to write home about.

Or he's such a geek that he's bought a Robovac.

You just know that the oven will be absolutely gleaming inside - never used. His entire cooking needs are met by the kettle that he uses for his Pot Noodles.

Yeah that's not too bad to be honest. Any software engineer working from home will have a dual screen setup. If it's a young bloke living there, then that's not too bad to be honest. It's more messy than filthy and the place looks in relatively good nick. Horsham is expensive though

Nothing that unusual about two monitors and a tv *shrugs* I also hoped for a lot. 10 maybe
And it looks quite tidy to me... Clean and just some stuff lying around, nothing shocking..

On the basis of what?! Dual monitors and a TV? Whoa there, hold the front page! Talk about making assumptions. See, I'm normally fairly easy going but this always gets my goat, people shouting GEEK! and NERD! at the sight of a little bit of technology - as if enjoying games consoles was in some way a bad thing.

Looks like a small flat with someone working from home, graphics, programming - whatever and a few games consoles - clearly a hobby. Hardly reason to start calling he/she a 'lonely little geekling' is it.

Make sure you avoid offices, the amount of screens in there would blow your mind.

I wouldn't call it tidy but as others have said, it's not dirty, far from it. I think who ever said it's a disgruntled tenant living there is probably spot on - I can't believe anyone willingly marketing their home would have photos taken without tidying up first.
