Morning/Afternoon all,

I've had a search and a read but there seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions everywhere I go.

My firm are putting me up for 3 months when I arrive which is not as generous as a lot of companies are but better than a kick in the jelly tots.

What I'm wondering is whether it's worth me getting a 1 bed place after that on my own and making that commitment or whether I should go for a room share.

I've shared in the UK but only with one other person who was a mate, so I know it's do-able but legally speaking - what's the crack?

Can't live with a partner, can you live with someone of the opposite sex legally? Or is that living in sin? Can you share with same sex house-mates?

Thanks in advance.

You don't room share - It's a villa or flatshare.

Loads of people do it - best not to mix the sex though.

I'm not sure it's illegal (pretty sure it's not) - they tried to stop it for a while - but that was more aimed at low income 20 to a villa arrangements.

Plenty folks share in "New Dubai"

3 months- i got two weeks mate so think yourself lucky- its a grey area living with peopel of the other sex- basically no you shouldn't but people do.

Hosue shares are a good isea for meeting people, however it involves moving in witha bunch of strangers which can go horribly worng ( which I have known happen to a few people) you could always go into hotel apartments ona monthly basis until you fully settle.

Mate 3 months is pretty damn good, I wouldn't knock it.

By law you can't share with a bird but everyone does, so don't worry about it,and yeah if you have cash maybe serviced apartments would be good, some good deals out there.

Villa share is a good option to start off with

Again, thanks for the replies.

Spugsy - Can I share legally with another bloke / two blokes?

I appreciate the concern about living with helmets, but I think I'll risk it, as you say Kittycat, it's a good way to meet more people etc.

Lessens the complete commitment too I suppose

only if you are not ****ing them.

Why? If I say yes, are you going to offer me a room?

Millhouse

You are welcome to camp in my back garden as long as you promise not to piss on my tomatoes.

Haha thanks, but unless tents come with A/C I'll have to give it a miss!

Spugsy

Aye course you can, as long as you don't stick your dong in their grannies mouth.

Spugsy

How about if he wanks on the peas?

Millhouse

that's completely fine - I can't help myself do that either.
