Last time I had a proper migraine (8+ years ago) I managed to spot it for what it was and get home in time.I used to get a few as a kid before my funny eyesight (both eyes a bit broken, but left eye twice as bad as right) was picked up. Nasty, they were - didn't always end up with vomiting, but in the few cases it did, I learned pretty quickly to chew stuff better. Ick. Sorry, lunchers.
With the proper one, the whole left side of my visual field turned to fog, followed by a few hours of pounding headache, though the co-codamol took the edge off it.
It was preceded by about half an hour of quite otherwordly lightheadedness (no pain at all) plus a few visual shimmers here and there. Very, very odd ...

Never had one, but I think I might have one by the end of this eveningGot to meet people coming to look round a soon-to-be-vacated room in my flat.
Not to pre-judge these people before they show up, but what sort of person lists among their interests "the gym" and "going out"?

Well, possiblyIt's just I'd expect most applicants to have a rudimentary social life, so adding "going out" seems like an attempt to pad that bit out. And as for "the gym"....well, I can't help but think that someone who sees that as a hobby is at risk of being incredibly tedious to talk to.

Chances are they'll be perfectly likeable.As I say, I shouldn't pre-judge them before they show up. Though, even if I did ever go to the gym, I couldn't see myself listing it as an interest...

No, this one's definitely maleI'm also a bit troubled that my remaining flatmate has reservations about the female applicants. He's worried that they'll be the sort to moan and nag us if we're untidy. I assured him that I'd shared flats with several women over the last few years and had no such problems.
Turns out the only woman he's lived with previously is his mother.

Some flat-sharing websites look more like internet dating sites.Not that I'd know anything about that, of course.
By the way, I put up a new thread.
