I then moved to Hampstead and another nutcase landlady. She loved piano practice at 3am. I also had a window looking onto Hampstead Heath, which I kept firmly closed due to the...interesting sorts wandering around. One night I came back from work late and she wouldn't open the door. She wouldn't even give ma key to my room, the door was just 'to'.
So this bloke, Gary, opens the door and lets me in. Weird that he answered the door in his pants. I come in. have a bit of tea. Get undressed and get into bed. Gary appears, pissed up and wants to talk about football and sit on my bed. He's dressed but rather worryingly chatty. And there's all these awkward pauses. He's not just being neighbourly. I don't think I was imagining things. I'm sat there with the cover pulled right up to my neck.
I waited until he had left the room, packed and went and slept in my office. I'd paid for the week, but sod that. I'm a heavy sleeper and I need to sit down to do my job.
Ed...you poor thing! You should come live with me and have some normal times!
