I am not sure he will find anybody with a spare room big enough to accommodate him and his ego. The vague hints at what he might or might not contribute translate as virtually nothing except potentially boring pseudo-intellectual conversation. As for the application form.confused grin

I don't think he is that great looking, who knows what lies behind the beard. Maybe just not my type.

Here he is.

It's not the way it's made out I think.
Not for me but I know 2 people who would potentially be interested in this.

We have also "hosted" a festival person in the past CariadAgain - though he was introduced by a friend.
I tolerated him for a week or maybe 10 days perhaps once or twice a year as he was "passing through" - but I was always clear... "You have to go on Thursday" or whatever.
I did this even if the next stop had "fallen through"... because, well, "You will be OKyou are resourceful"

I don't think this guy is quite the same.

..and he's obviously bearing in mind that he's quite easy on the eye.....

I've known one like that where I am now - and he was extremely proud that he'd managed to get chatting to people at festivals - and then get invited to their home (where he stayed for 6 months and I'd be willing to bet he contributed absolutely nothing and ate all their food).

Whoops - the link doesnt seem to work. Anyone??

He wants basically free accommodation, while giving just modest help with bills, and in return will do a bit of gardening and provide ‘creative conversation’ or some such waffly bolax.

I saw that on MN. Someone no doubt will fall for his pretty face and be daft enough!
