    Sounds like the stage I'm creeping towards already (or already at, pfft) ;)

    Just to clarify: Live rurally at the moment, used to live in london, and looking at moving back. I actually currently live in a house and sharing as my mum moved out to trial living with her boyfriend. I am used to housesharing as such, although it is slightly different when it's an old family home. I guess it would be the more financially astute option and with ambitions to one day get on the property ladder probably the more pragmatic, sensible one too. I guess that's me mostly talked round.

    So I guess all things considered this should be a goer.

    Chhers all.

    if your young enough, do it.

    i was quite the lothario when i was a young whippersnapper and enjoyed every minute of it, just as my youthful brother is now doing.

    enjoy your teenage years and first couple years into your 20's, it is what got most people through school and uni, the thought of clubbing, knobbing and waking up at a strange womans house ( not strange as in mad, but as in you dont know them).


    i didnt think of saving or buying until i was 25, a time when the fun has started draining fast from your life.
    what is the plural of moose?

    the signature is a quote from when i saw jimmy carr live, it made me chuckle, and indeed made pretty much the entire audience chuckle too.

    i know what side my bread is now buttered, i was merely remenissing on my young free and single days which have long gone.

    im reasonably sure a good percentage of the male youth population have or had at some stage, simular aspirations?

    well most of my friends did, and did.:beer:

    :rotfl:
    im glad i can still be interesting, when i hit 35 i thought interesting went out of the window?

    when young my needs were basic, things like food were secondary thoughts that i would probably have while stumbling home or to where ever.

    simple things and simple minds, i was happy in my ignorance.:T
