Bachelor padding: Luxury and the single guy(or what your viewing patterns say about you)

UrbaneSpaces said:

Charlotte in Sex and the City concluded that a guy buying a townhouse must be planning for a family(voiceover: Carrie-Some people read palms. Charlotte read real estate). Real estate indicators and looking at how someone lives must be amongst the best ways of assessing a person’s marriage-ability. Following that (il?)logical trajectory, real estate agents must make for the best matchmakers around, which is why, apparently, some real estate agents are moonlighting(ok- value added service) as matchmakers for their single clients.

Smoky Senior Citizens' Centre

moe said:

In some estates, these are called Senior Citizen Corners. These centres/corners are created for elderly folks to get together for a game of chess, chit-chat, a cup of tea or just sitting around to while away the time.
