The Corinthian · 16-08-2001 1:59am #1

I'm being deserted by my flatmates, but given the location/price of this place, I've no interest in letting it go, so I'm looking for replacements...

NTL, Phone, washer/dryer, microwave, LAN & in process of installing 128k Internet connection. No parking. Available September 1st. Smokers and heavy drinkers welcome. Rent: £430 monthly.

If you're interested, email me.

Corinthian,

You didn't mention whether you were male or female. I think a lot of people would prefer to know when looking at a potential flatmate.

I'm not actually looking for a place but if I was I think I'd prefer to share with girls because I'm a girl.

If I've moved in with a guy I'd be worried I might start hearing things like:

"I never remember their names in the morning"

"if you’re not sleeping with them by the end of the third date, move on"

"Nothing worse than dating a woman for months only realise that all you actually wanted to do was shag her."

"EX's are great for those dry patches we all go through from time to time"

The Corinthian · 20-08-2001 10:29pm

Don't you think it would be worse if such a man thought it but didn't say it? Do you value appearances so much over honesty?

btw, while we're on the subject, do you have a sister?

Perhaps she was intimating that you might change.... but I guess, leopard, spots, etc

Alis loves Corinthian etc.

Yes I agree. I also think that there are men in existance that don't actually think things like that in the first place

The Corinthian wrote:

No, I value honesty over appearances. What makes you think I don't

The Corinthian wrote:

Now, I really don't know what subject, whether or not I have a sister, is relevant to, but yes I have one

Any man who actually endorses any of sentiments expressed in the examples I gave can change. Realising that it is an attitude that will him nowhere that he wants to go fast might just do it

Canaboid wrote:

Of course I do. I'm sure if The Corinthian has ever made any remarks like the examples I gave, they were only made in jest

Good luck finding flat mates

They also like shopping and interior design.

They're generally not attracted to women however...

All he needs is the love of a good woman

I wonder what you had posted originally...

So if a man has respect for a women he must be gay

The Corinthian wrote:

No, he needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that no good women wouldn't have him

I must point out that a double negative here makes a positive. But the negative is still unfair to say: by that standard noone can ever change for the better, and thats just not true.

Sedulously eschew obfuscatory hyperverbosity and prolixity.

You really should you know.

Yes, well if you could stop replying, so as I could have the last word

Dev, I'm surprised at you, lowering the tone in here by bring *sex* into the equation

I may have taken this thread out of suburbia but you're bringing it straight to the trailer park

You obviously haven't seen dev in a string vest hollerin' at the game on tv whilst clutching a bottle of budweiser

I would say male as females tend to share with other females and say so.

How dare you attempt to bring this back on topic!

Alis, your reworked conversation still had the double negative, but you didn't intend it, right? Even so,

he needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that no good women would have him

seems quite final. Perhaps you didn't mean it to sound that way, if so apologies for the misinterpretation.

Al.

Noddy · 21-08-2001 5:03pm

You all seem to be enjoying your tit for tat session but I'd like to revert to the original topic of conversation if I can (at the risk of being slammed). In advance, sorry to interrupt!

The room sounds great! Any chance you could bring the price down a bit. £430 is a touch on the steep side don't ya think!

20 years from now you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did!

Actually, that room is already gone. However, there's another room going. As this room is quite small, it's going for £375 p.m.

£430 for Fitzwilliam Sq. is not steep, btw. Not nowadays - unless you count slum tenements

Guys, can ye stay on topic - I was tempted to send this to the relationship board. While Alis is new, the rest of ye spammers (yes, including you Dev) should all get negative Karma.

Kill, kill, kill the laser mice.

Jawohl, mein Kapitän, absolut sofort.

And while you're there, maybe we should flay ourselves accross the back with branches?

[edit] Relationship board?

I didn't mean to say people can't change for the better. Maybe you are not following, if you ignore my double negative the conversation reads like this:

Devore:
Perhaps she was intimating that you might change.... but I guess, leopard, spots, etc
Alis:

I don't see where I'm saying people can't change

yeah, i cant wait next week cause i hear The Corinthian kicks out Alis for having mixed feelings about where to spend the Christmas Eve.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

Evil Phil · 22-08-2001 1:43pm

Is the smaller room still available?

DeVore · 22-08-2001 3:47pm

Sorry, hehe, he's right. Its just that I know Alis and The Cornetto in real life.

Lets keep this on topic, and take it up in Humanities (if anyone cares).

DeV.

The Corinthian · 22-08-2001 5:06pm

The small room is still available as of this date/time (Just been viewed by woman who started to talk about spy satellites - Next!).

Mail me.

It's true. He does venture out into the real World every now and then. He just get's confused by the fact that some guys have these strange bumps on their chests
