After putting an advert in the paper to fill the spare room in our flat, we have had three enquiries already today and the paper was only distributed at lunchtime. Due to the anticipated volume of applicants me and my fellow flatmates need to interview the applicants to select the chosen one.

Anybody got any ideas for questions?

p.s. We have already thought of most things that involve females and ironing and sexual favours!

You don't want a woman moving in anyway....your lass wouldn't take too kindly to it ;)) ------ I'm moving in with my girlfriend in two months so she shouldn't be too upset.

Cheers for the questions Gav they've gone on the list!

Best thing is just to invite bribes from each interviewee.

You can tell a lot from a person depending on the gift, i.e. someone bringing along a crate of Stella Artois will be a)loaded, b)a good drinker.
Someone bringing a crate of Pimms will be a)loaded, b)probably on the other bus.
Someone bringing a crate of top notch lasses will be a)loaded, b)the successful candidate

After virtually having to physiclly remove my last tenants , my suggestion would be ... 1 Do you have any relatives that might stay 2 What hours do you work 3 What do you watch on TV and what music do you listen to 4 Do you consider yourself outgoing 5 Do you have a social life 6 Why do you want to live with me and my girlfriend I can think of plenty more .. like are a Are you a pedantic arsehole b Do you think you are th greatest person in the world c Are you unable to communicate politely ..... Mate just remeber are you all equal citizens in the house or is someone the gaffer .. that is geet important . Not that im bitter or owt like ! ; - )

Those last questions weren't (as in were not) Pit Bill, to weed out someone on this bbs were they?

Well I apologise for wasting peoples time on this one!

I got home last night to find that someone had already looked around the flat and wanted to move in, the other two lads were all for it and as I will be moving out in two months time I couldn't really object!!

South African Solicitor bird, doing the British tour thingy. I haven't even met her yet. First time I see her I'll probably be walking out of the bathroom half naked!

No interrogation or anything. I asked my flatmates questions like, has she got a job? How old is she? Does she know we expect a damage deposit and one month's rent in advance? They hadn't even discussed it.

Hahaha and who says men are predictable :)))

I forgot to mention that good looking females go right to the top of the list!

I remember looking for a flat in Surrey in the early 90's. As soon as I opened my mouth and they heard my accent I could tell from the expression on their faces that I didn't have a cat in hells chance. Eventually got a place in Addlestone. I introduced myself to my new flatmate the next day and to my absolute horror found that he was a macum. By that time I'd paid my deposit and one month up front.
