I think, including my family, 48.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

that "you know" and then the reference to your family worries me slightly.

As well it might, Angela.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

31, surprisingly.

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

In houses, 12. However, if you count the hall of residence I lived in during my three years as a student in Bristol, that number swells to a staggering 1252!

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

22.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

17 i think, unless you count the ymca in romford or the hotel in victoria in which case, many more!

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

it's got to be over 40 i reckon. probably getting on for 50. i lost count at the shared house in cricklewood. i'll do a list sometime.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Catered halls or residence do not count. Self-catering flats owned by a university do.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Apart from Badock Hall, I have never shared a house with more than three other ppl. It went:

3 (1970-72)
2 (1972-74)
3 (1974-80)
2 (1980-89)

2 (1992-95)
1 (1995-present)

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

at least 200. Im a flat slut.

― Kiwi, Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

How old are you?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Discounting halls, 23.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't even live with myself.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 October 2002 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

13 i think.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

13 for me, too.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

19 I think, but I bet I've missed some out, a couple of my student flats were very transitory, 3 months things in between terms

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 10:10 (twenty-two years ago)

22.

― Ellie (Ellie), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

30, I'm quite surprised by that.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

7! I have a very small family, and after having a particularly psychotic roomate I swore off sharing a house or apartment again. Til the last year and a half, anyway.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Golly, I've never really house-shared. So: 3 for the first sixteen years of my life, two after my brother moved out, zero for my postgrad year* and the first five years of my working life**, and one since the summer of '98. That's a total of 4 and they're all related.

(* - if a self-catering hall of res where you don't use the kitchen until the summer when everyone's left and never speak to yr block-mates doesn't count as 'living with').

(** - if a few nights in a hellacious bedsit where I only met the landlady and none of my housemates and scarpered after failing to get the heater working, and didn't contribute to any bills doesn't count as 'living with').

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

14 + maybe 4 or 5 lodgers when I was wee. Mum, dad, sister, stepdad, grandmother (not all at the same time), 8 housemates at uni and after, 1 boyfriend.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

18, which i'm surprised about.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

36! I can't believe how many people have stolen my tomato ketchup or seen me bleary-eyed in the morning. (18 of these were from 3 years at Uni in v large shared houses)

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Family of origin = seven
That one really bad relationship wherein we only lasted a month in our own place = one
My S/O and children = four
===========================
Total of 12

― ragnfild (ragnfild), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

17 (3 family members, 4 college roommates, 10 post-college housemates). A little surprising, considering how long I've lived alone.

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

11 I think, and if you get rid of people that I lived with less than three months, it goes down to 8.

― Josh (Josh), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

*thinks duly*...somewhere around 30. This counts semi-permanent guests or significant others who really should have paid rent -- the bastards.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, just counting places I've lived in for over a month
7+2+2+7+7+7+7+(3+1 foetus)

which is 42 and a cell cluster.

This string of sevens shows a certain uniformity throughout my uni days.

If you count other people in bedsits in the same house as me you can probably add another 30 or so

― Sofa King Alternative (Sofa King Alternative), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Discounting school (about 200 other boarders) and university (didn't stay long enough to count them), six.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

9, or ~120 depending on how you look at it.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

or 10, really.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

At least 45, I think.

― rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

4 other members of the family, only counting 1 roomate in frosh year since it was a double room, 5 at my apartment, of those 5, one moved to Japan and I moved in with two of the others in a smaller apartment and now its me and my two brothers till I find a new apartment.

So I guess its only been ten.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

18 but i'm sure i'm forgetting some. (the 18th put me off housemates for good!! the past 4 years anyway)

― the actual mr. jones (actual), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

A deliciously low 7, including family members and two short term lodgers when I was little. I am very antisocial.

― Madeleine (Madeleine), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

4 family + 4 college roommates = 8

― H (Heruy), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 20:34 (twenty-two years ago)

15 I think.. that sounds about right. Not including halls, of course.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

while growing up - 4.

1997 doesn't count as i was in a hall of residence.

1998 - 7 in total, between me and the exes two flats and moving in and out of them.
1999 - 1
2000 - 2
2001 - 4
2002 - 3.
total = 21.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

if you do not include the hospital or the boarding school- 3.

― anthony easton (anthony), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

― anthony easton (anthony), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Its in the 40's

― brg30 (brg30), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

22 excl.sleepovers and pets

also the first place i lived in as a child was a huge house full of people — haha including a different 60 students every week for 30 weeks of the year — but we had a distinct flat within it, so i'm going with that

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

31 total, including family, in three different cities (Minneapolis, Seattle, Manhattan). not too bad for 27 years old

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i tht mine wd be more, to be honest

i have just thought of another three, but i think i only lived in that house for four days (during which time i bought kim wilde's first LP and the little sister by raymond chandler, and also answered the door to jehovah's witnesses and discovered that saying "I'm a Buddhist" doesn't work — except perhaps they could tell I was lying) (it smelled REALLY REALLY strongly of bread)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:11 (twenty-two years ago)

About 40. It's kinda hard to remember the punk rock crashpad years. But, like mark, I thought it would be more.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm probably one of the lowest numbers here, I feel so odd now. But if you had had the psycho, "Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female" roomate I had you would know why I preferred to go roomate-less!

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

15 people. Parents, brother, roommates, apartmentmates, erstwhile boyfriend.

― Jody Beth Rosen, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

63.

that's counting foreign students who lived with us at my mother's house from the ages of 8 to 17, sometimes up to three at once.

but without them, 14.

― nancy b. (nancy b.), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

14...
2 parents (no siblings)
4 boarding school roommates
2 roommates in brooklyn
3 family I stayed with in chelsea after leaving brooklyn
3 roommates in college

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 03:36 (twenty-two years ago)

39, I think.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 04:06 (twenty-two years ago)

How old are you?

Hi Nick sorry for the delay Im 27.
The same age as Jim (electric) I believe.
Cheers Kiwi

― Kiwi, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

3 for me

― Madam Plinky (Madam Plinky), Thursday, 3 October 2002 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Kiwi your 200 is therefore amazing work. Who moves out, you or them?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 3 October 2002 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I never really thought about it before. I hate staying in the same place for longer than a year, I dont know why. Living in London 99-2001 blew out the figures- 4 or 5 flats over that time, each with between 10-20 people. Ahh the memories, a cold night crammed on the floor in Wilsden Green- it brings a tear to the eye.

― Kiwi, Friday, 4 October 2002 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Not counting dorms, but counting the co-op I lived in for a while at college, 15.
