   About The Flatmates
Formed in Bristol in 1985, the Flatmates released a string of singles and album on The Subway Organization label, and recorded 3 sessions for BBC Radio 1, including 2 for the legendary John Peel. The band took an extended sabbatical through the 1990's, with occasional re-releases, but the pile of songs continued to grow. In 2004 Clairecords released "Love and Death", which was followed in 2005 by Cherry Red's "Potpourri". The Flatmates are currently recording a stash of new songs.

Lyrics and comments have been added to the songs above and "Shimmer" and "I Could Be In Heaven" can be downloaded.

Hey babe,

sorry about that I must have given you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like things and stuff instead of cash.

But anyways, the right site is

C H O I C E 1 5 . COM

it's the one I am making $750 a week with putting in about 24 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.

After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the big bucks, I got $55 for one that took me 35 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.

Megan started taking them too and she's cashing $700 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Jake are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
bye
