So for next summer. Let us all think of ideas of what type of housemates we want. Type roughly 8 girls and 8 boys or however many you want. What they do for a living and just what kind of housemate lineup YOU WANT.

More eccentric housemates

To be more specific a TiBBer would be quite interesting

About 8 girls and 8 boys. Aged between 18-70.

I would like about 3 or 4 between 18-21. (We only had Ashleigh in this age group and she was a good housemate) About 2 of them can be at Uni. Maybe 1 who is on benefits with kids and 1 who is maybe like working abroad or at Butlins or something.

1 male and 1 female who are "good looking" modelling types. << We are going to end up with this **** anyway so I will allow one of each sex. They need an outrageous story to go with it though.

1 or 2 of them who work in Supermarkets/Shops/Pub/Nightclub etc.

Maybe someone who worked for the MI5.

Maybe twins. Not too sure though because it defeats the purpose of people not knowing each other. However a girl and boy twin may be good.

Someone who has been in jail.

A farmer.

Someone or 2 of them rich and posh! Maybe someone who went to Oxford/Cambridge. Someone into "horses" and who likes the "finer" things in life.

Someone who has just retired.

A pilot/cabin crew person.

A nurse/doctor.

NO ONE in the media. However I wouldn't mind someone who works in the "Arts" like the theatre.

A virgin or Buddhist type person.

A genuine proper loud "PARTY ANIMAL". Just 1 or 2 of these. Because usually they say they are the life and soul of the party when they really are not.

Someone who works on a cruise/ship.

I would like at least 1 English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh person. Someone black. Maybe someone American/Australian. We have a lot of Polish so maybe someone Polish. But mainly ENGLISH people I would say or from Britain in general.

I think all my requirements fit the bill for 16 different housemates! (Sorry I keep adding stuff when I think of them)

I agree. Definitely more eccentricity! And someone from TIBB.
