OK, one of my flatmates is moving out next year, so we're looking for a new one. Basic details...

Central location, barely off High St.
Rent is $100 p/w, plus power and phone.
Non-smoking preferred, no pets.

Would prefer a lovely lady (I promise to behave). The only hitch is that the room in question is a mezzanine, and the apartment is small.

Nervous enquiries, please PM me. Or post below.

No nutters (this means you, Yeliah).

Oh templar, you're such a square. A SQUARE. That little incident with the squirrel was nothing.

Anyway, I doubt you'd get many females wanting to move into a mezzanine. Doesn't that man you'd be able to perve in from the kitchen and stuff? Perve.

Does it have parking? I've been entertaining the notion of closer to work.

Lol, LOL, 100/week and you expect parking?

Well I was more thinking is there anywhere I can park on the road for free.... at least free in the hours I wouldn't be at work. But yeah I guess that probably wouldn't work, I've just now looked at where it is on the map and it is extremely close to Queen Street I see. I'd have to get a bike or catch the bus or some shit.

Well I know the parks on Princes St by uni are free before 6am and after 6pm...

Come to think of it, I could probably just park in some really obscure place. How far (in minutes) do you think you would have to walk from that flat to find a guaranteed free (not taken and costs no money) park?

Somewhere along Quay St, probably. But then, that's not really that obscure.

You could catch the link and park it in ponsonby

That close?

Nah, if I'm going to get the bus I may as well get the bus to work, which possibly makes more sense anyway, depends how close to the flat I could park.

Ish.

But as I said, it's not really that obscure - heaps of people will already be using them. What you need is a spork.

Yeah, I guess I'd probably just catch the bus.

Anyway I'm really lazy, and cheap (I have permanent free board at home) and probably won't do it, but I'll give it some thought this weekend.

fuck. FUCK. if i promised not to talk so much, can i be in if ooby doesnt take it?

Lol it's got to be cleared with my other flatmate, but I'm probably more inclined to let you in than some stranger.

Bear in mind this is for about February next year, and there's not really enough room for a PC up there, unless you want to be cross-legged.

It's that small?

:lol:

Its that small.

Ofcourse when I saw it I immediately though "Hey if you like tied a rope to the ceiling you could totally Tarzan your ass in teh morning right into the kitchen"

Bonus points for possible Kitchen Tarzan entrance.

:P awesome fez. hmmm, is there standing space? i saw how small it was, but cant remember! also......room for a queensize bed, if nothing else? (apart from, like, two boxes- my clothes and my Lush?

Um you can't really stand upright. Stopped over yes.

There's already a king-single up there. Double would fit. Queen-sized you'd have to measure it first. There is actually quite a lot of floor-space up there. It's deceptive.

And we're just across the road from Lush. Sold yet?

hehe well if you raise the ceiling by a foot or two, I'm in :P

(I can't Tarzan when I'm stooped over)

I'm 5'6, so it sounds perfect for my hobbit-esque frame.

It sounds rather tiny, though, so where exactly is this ? I thought a mezzanine was like a porch.

Yeah I'm 5'7-5'8 so the height isn't too much of a concern. Would you be able to put some photos up? Have to see if I can fit a PC in there, as long as I can do that then no problemo.

By the way, if I move in, I come complete with (if there is room):

* Not one, not two, but three computers (well maybe two, I may sell the oldest to my cousin), plus my l33t computer skillz
* A foosball table (looks different from the one in the picture)
* A couch or two, though moving these in could be a PITA

Lol pros and cons to everyone! Cthulhu knows it'd be fucking awesome to be able to hassle you 24/7 about CompSci help.

Probably not enough space for foosball.

Raising ceiling isn't an option, sorry Steve.

It is possible to live fairly normally (I know this because the guy who lives there currently is getting laid as we speak. Again), but you're welcome to check it out.

So the_oob, Hauser and maniacnymph all interested? We've got time to get it sorted out, and I still have to tell the flatmate who's staying :P

Oh yeah, I forgot to add to my list:

* Complete access to my previous assignments/knowledge of previous assignments, seeing as I'm now out of uni and have no ethics :oob:

Put up some photos of the place if you can, or alternatively I could come around before next weeks pub quiz and have a look around.

yeah.....well.....i have boobs. (kinda)

and i dont mind actually mind cleaning, something which im sure shedevil will berrate me for admitting. where IS shedevil, anyway.

hah, let the flatmate bidding war commence!

I'll let people touch my code and computers... will you let them touch your boobs?

hey, im all about Sharing The Love. i also do Cheering Up, and Baking Cookies, and enjoy Grocery Shopping.

If you're looking for a place to stay, why not rent one of my houses? Forum special- $10/month off! There's a small crappy student sized one.

no. *pokes tongue out at oob*.

Doesn't come into it :P I did promise to behave.

As far as cleaning... I like to cook.

That's good, because I have no cooking skills whatsoever. As far as chores go, I can only do menial unskilled labour, but then I can also do all the computer stuff if necessary. Does the flat have ADSL? What are you currently doing for internet?

Woosh :rant:

Upgrading to proper broadband next year.

By which you mean ADSL? And what time next year?

Also, have you tried stealing wireless internet from your neighbours? (ie. are there any open wireless networks)

i do cleaning, but cant cook. and the offer of free love still stands ;) but i am not a housebreaker (wrecker? meh) so i shall keep my hands and my body to myself. promise. ummm.......i can........uhhh......... :unsure: ...........:)

i promise to be my very very quietist if ever i bring people back to the flat. but as sex is almost always better outside, you do not have much to worry about.
although maybe i shouldnt draw attention to sexual noise concerns, as no doubt youd have less of these with one of the other goons anyway ;)

Oh yeah, I should add that I am a huge loser, so I am highly unlikely to have loud sex in the flat.

I knew being a loser would come in handy one day.

:rolleyes: ok ok i apologise.......but ive heard the complaints......

i can see this getting nasty.

Well, the tentative leaver is still undecided as to if/when he's going. I hope he does though, cause he's the most vocal complainer and is used to living by his lonesome.

The complaints... I can hear his g/f morning and night at least 4 nights a week.

ADSL in Jan when my Woosh contract runs out. Will probably be asking for advice about then anyway :P

To be honest, this flat would probably suit maniacnymph more. No decisions until Dec though :P

If you're going to pub quiz on tuesday, I'll come take a look beforehand if that's alright.

By all means. It's maybe 3 minutes from BK.

hehe I might come have a looksee too then :wow:

Well, im def coming to quiz the first week back, and I'll be w/ Oob so I guess ill tag along too :P
