I always get a double-take if I use the men's toilets.

Edit: That's a weird page break.

So you look the same as your personality.

It's long gone now. It was a baseball hat of some description. I can't even remember what the logo was. But the rest of the band weren't happy with it at all.

Aaron - She was quite nice looking if you ignored the cold dead eyes that spoke of years of abuse.

Aww, oh dear. Poor girl.

How did you find out then?

I've updated my post in the light of Griff's most expetional one.

Also

11 I was mildly injured by a vegan with an exploding conker.

12 As I lived as a live in worker at a homeless hostel I lived with; 7 prostitutes, a murderer, a bank robber, and a man who claimed to have murdered Lord Lucan.

13 I raised £150 wearing a Tutu on a pub crawl in Hull.

14 On my first driving lesson I ran myself and my instructor down.

My new favourite word. It's like special and exceptional all in one!

Now this sounds interesting.

No one knows what's in the loft at this house I'm moving into at the weekend. I'm hoping I might find Lord Lucan up there. Perhaps even Shergar?

There was a very big, bad mofo that used to hang round with her all the time. This was the guy that eventually shoved her arm through the window, and if he wasn't her pimp, then he was her pimp's business associate or something.

I got into an argument with her once about money stuff, as happens in shared flats. He came round to talk to me about The Situation, reached into his pocket and settled her debts from a massive roll of cash. Then the following evening, he came to see me again, said he'd changed his mind and wanted all the money back, and drove me to a cashpoint to fetch it. During this car journey he showed me, by way of conversation rather than outright threatening, that he had a gun in his glove compartment. I gave him the money, and to be fair, he didn't try to mug me for additional cash, although I would probably have handed my life savings over at the drop of a hat. Sometime during these negotiations he explained exactly what young Gaby did for a living, although obviously it didn't come as much of a surprise to me by then.

I moved out shortly afterwards, around about the time our telly got mysteriously smashed up.

I don't swear often but FUCK!

I live such a sheltered life.

He was very definite, the queen personally ordered him to do it. He shoved him off a cross channel ferry.

But then this fella also claimed to be a Regimental Sergeant Major, spoke 6 languages and killed 20 Argentinians. He was undercover as a homeless alcoholic.

The only thing I knew for definite was he bit the lobe off some ones ear in a fight.

I think he ended up in a political party, he was called Charles Kennedy I think(this line is the only fib).

Quote: Griff @ August 19 2008, 4:30 PM BST

I didn't go looking for this excitement. It just happened as a result of naively moving into a flat, in a strange country, without knowing anything about the people involved. There's a lesson and hopefully a screenplay in there somewhere.

Mental. (Quite literally.)

Reminds me of "He died with a felaffel in his hand," amost entertaining book about Oz flatshares.

A flatmate who was a sometimes satanist injured himself pissing through the letter box in a Church door.

It was spring loaded.

He should have stuck with his other hobby, Dr Who less risk of penile injury.

There there, it's ok zooo. If he had - which is unlikely - then I'm sure that they were just rapists, murderers, and kitty-head-stampers. So more than deserving.

There there, good girl. *reassuring stroke*

Phew!

I suspect they only existed in his booze addled brain.

Most of the guys were fans of Tennant as well, they were always taking about Tennant, super.

I have to say I thought the vegan was the more interesting story.
