You hear these stories of a guy knocking off a few knuckle soldiers under the covers. Add to that the amount of farting that would be going on.

His daily showers consisted of him singing the same song (Seven Nation Army) in particular the line 'I'm going to Wichita'. When finished his shower I'd hear him jump out of the shower/bath with his 2 feet together, a big thud. (Most people use one leg at a time I'm guessing when getting out.) - He blocked the toilet before after flushing sandwiches and pasta down it. When my other housemate questioned him over it he claimed he was saving on household waste.

Its two fingers to everyone else as it looks like you all would have to waste your time to find someone and make up the difference in the money until someone was found, so who cleaned it up? Id be bringing the guy back to do it, but Id have witheld his deposit.

He used to live off take away's and once asked me how to boil pasta. Ehh.. place it in boiling water? read the instructions? At least he was trying to cook I guess. I remember once I was making a chilli and he said ooh that smells great, can I taste it? I said yeah of course. He was smoking a cigarette at the time and placed it between his teeth while he proceeded to shove his stupid, manky, smokey paw into my big pot of food making it inedible. Worst part is, he goes.. nahhh way too spicy, not for me and saunters off not a bother on him.

We interviewed 4 guys our own age and picked one to move in. He seemed a sound lad.... The weekend after he moved in we had a party. He got smashed drunk and pulled an American style fridge freezer over. An accident and forgivable, we all make drunken mistakes. He coughed up the money to replace it. It was a week later we discovered he was a raging alco. I came home one day and he was passed out on the step at the front door, this was 2pm on a Tuesday. That was only the start of things. He'd bring birds home, and in his inebriated state, would start banging them all over the house. On the stairs, in the bar, against the barbecue, on the sofa. It didn't seem to effect him if we were in the same room. He even made a move on one of the lads mother's when she came over one night for a party. He was a lovely guy when he was sober but after a can or two he'd pull out a bottle of hard spirits and down it in as short a time as possible.
