Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 As detailed in the TYWTSWPAB thread, my minor pain in the arse of a roommate is moving out at the start of next month (she let me know the date yesterday having previously said 2-3 months which is kind of a microcosm of how considerate she is). It's therefore a rush job to find a new flatmate and I am opening the floor to the good people if P&B for their recommendation of good tips, questions to ask and mind games to play when meeting the lucky hopefuls. Both genuine and daft responses welcome. So far I have probably a guy, mid to late 20s, into football, decent taste in films and telly (not just Disney and Ru Paul as my current flatmate does), not working in hospitality, capable of operating a Hoover once a week or so and likes the pub on a Saturday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question 3: Mango on a pizza; yes or no? Question 4: What do think of Lewis Capaldi? Question 5: Who is your favourite TV chef? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 When you ask the questions you have to tell them to "be very specific" with their answers.You have to contact any unsuccessful applicants and tell them "thanks for playing". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Some serious questions: - Why do you think you would be a good fit for this flatshare? - What team do you support (Sevco or Celtic could be a potential red flag) - What do you like doing socially (could throw up some red flags) - How do you propose to split the cleaning jobs? The guy mentioned in the OP sounds like he'd be fine. I'd suggest a wee bit of social media investigation for potential candidates just to be sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Cheese - roasted or toasted? Sausage - lorne, square or slice? French toast or eggy-dip-dip? Followed by a 500 word essay on the ethics of sharing a pint while playing pool with paedo you met at a bus stop. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 1. Is it acceptable to you that Prince Andrew is a pedo because after all, he isn't a superhuman saint? 2. Which is your favourite episode of 'Still Game'? 3. How many major trophies have Rangers won? 4. Would you be willing to face Smudger for a square go? How about if he had 3 paws tied behind his back? 5. Can you tell the difference between old and new Irn Bru and do you have any contacts in the illicit Irn Bru black market? Should sort the wheat from the chaff imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as almost every other person on here - one question. 'Do you have a good looking sister who is looking for a room and has opinions the exact opposite of yours?' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
