fuk u london, all the dubstep in the world just isn't worth it

I guess it depends on your living priorities, but I find it pretty reasonable for getting to live in the centre of Europe's liveliest capital... none of my housemates own a car or even take public transport to work (well, I take it one way and walk home) which saves hundreds of pounds every month that most of the people I work with have to spend on just getting to work every day (my boss's season ticket is about £200 per month and that's just from Croydon) ... although none of us are paying a mortgage off, it's possible to invest in other things and create your nest egg whilst not having to live in suburbia or the provinces. It'd be nice to own a house, but it's not something I worry about too much.
I expect my native countryboy sensibilities will kick in eventually and I'll end up living in a one-horse town in Somerset though.
Hope you find a suitable replacement. We found Autobot's mate Martin, our new flatmate on here, worked out amazing but think we got lucky. Where else do you find pro-drug/music/fun people though
Exactly. We don't want someone who's going to look down on us or tut when we're having fun. The other longest standing housemate is a music publicist, so she's not exactly averse to a sniff of marching powder. It's not like we'd stop being us for anyone... but we don't really want to feel awkward in our own home... and we don't want to feel like we're corrupting or scaring the shit out of some poor innocent young girl! One chick came round WITH HER DAD.
If only it'd been the right time for Luke or someone to move!
