In North America, do you actually share a room with a roommate? If not, it's a funny phrase.

And as Sandy off Big Brother so succintly put it: 'they're not actually your mates, are they?'

I shared a room in Paris,whilst working, with a girl called Katherine , who insisted on using cotton buds (Q-tips) to clean her nostrils.

When everyone knows you should really use your fingers! Or if at the dinner table, a well chosen piece of cutlery.

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I fear Emma has been sold a pup.

Q-Tips is my least favourite Americanism.

― N., Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was wondering why the waiter was looking at me like that. And why he looked so horrified when I requested a receptacle to put the, er, clearings out into.

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If people fear and hate Q-Tips can someone suggest what else to use to clean your ears? I had a friend who used to just adjust the shower to blast directly in his ears...now I wonder why the ape can't hear a godamn thing.

It's the phrase, not the things themselves.

― N., Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I fear Ronan has corrupted our beautiful classy emma with his pish talk. Who can I turn to for etiquette advice now?

― Graham, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think there's any advice on polite grolly removal in my etiquette book. It does however explain how to correctly eat salad whilst on a date and how to ensure that your date does too so you are not let down by being seen in public with a man who folds lettuce leaves into his mouth.

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I better not get one cos piss hahahaha

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A roommate I mean, sorry my sense of humour can be awfully DRY!!!

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hein?

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Stein?

― N., Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a bizarre mini coffee table type book out at the moment - famous stills from movies but with Q-tips replacing the central character/image. It is slightly funny but I'm not clear why it exists. Are Q-tips that much of a cult item?

― Archel, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Work it out.

I need a cigarette and to stop sweating profusely. London is the Rio of the British Isles (which is apt cos I'm listening to Viva Bugged Out and it's all Brazilian)

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do they not have air conditioning? It's really not that hot today. I think you have an overactive thyroid.

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm at home doing my CV and a review for FT, the window is open but it's still hot.

Was there something about overactive thyroids in Metro? After it sorted out my dream life I'll trust it for anything.

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

overreactive thyroid hahaha

― mumble mumble ADELE mutter grumble, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What?

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was going to suggest that Ronan take some clothes off as he's at home but I realised this could be misconstrued. Keep your clothes on Ronan!

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I plan to. I'm glad you didn't say that, I've had enough attention on ILE yesterday to do me for a while.

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You cna plan all you like, but it's harder than it looks. Just ask N.

― Graham, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You cna plan all you like, but it's harder than it looks.

Emma, tell Graham to keep his clothes on, too.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

With pleasure. KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON YOU YOUNG BOYS.

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan Perry in "I am against nudity" shocker!

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Also I cannot believe he didn't make some filthy pun on 'it's harder than it looks. Just ask N.'

― Emma, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You perverts, etc. But anyway.

As it is, I need a new housemate down here in OC, as one of the two other folks just got a job in San Diego and will have to move. Yay, once more on the hunt! If only I could have gotten that condo...

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i think we all know my opinion on this one.

STAGGERING UNEQUIVOCAL DUD.

― jess, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sometimes it is far nobler to forego the filthy pun.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A daily temptation for you, Mr. Perry.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nine years pass...

"420 friendly."
