> Yeah. I like my friends okay, but my flatmates aren't my friends, they are my flatmates. I wouldn't want to flat with my friends anyway, because then they wouldn't be my friends, they would be my flatmates. If ya follow...Ah, yeah I'm pretty sure I follow. Think I'm kinda the same. except that I couldn't live with strangers either. Well that's up to my usual level of nonsensicality (suspect I've just committed [another] crime against language) =0)

> Hmm. Cause they are your workmates???Mostly because I am anitsocial. Plus the majority are bad enough sober. Drunk would be too much to bear. Never been into the getting drunk thing. Guess I'm just not into large groups. More a one-on-one or one-on-none kind guy.

> Aw.. I shall be your friend. Your virtual friend, okay??? ;-)Thank you dearest heart, I am honoured and accept your offer with great happiness. :-)

> You too. Watch out for 'em crocs. Never know what you'll run into out in the outback of Sydney 'n all...Mate, being up near Oxford St you have no idea of the wildlife I encounter on a daily basis. I've become somewhat of an expert in 'croc' identification, and can often be heard in meetings saying "That's a croc of ...."

> Yup, okay. Tell you what, you can even crash in the lounge for a couple of weeks. I am sure my flatmates won't mind (and too bad if they do!)

So what is it that you're not doing at uni????
