» The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

trains and taxis
after a long day in Newcastle i decided to go home to see my parents who lived in alnwick. long story short i missed the train and my mum was picking me up in Morpeth. cue the solicitor who also missed the train telling me that him and his mate where getting a taxi and i could hop in and get a free ride to Morpeth! when we reached our destination the fare was well over thirty quid!

thank you martin the solicitor who gave me one of the best things anyone has ever done for me!

sort of neighbour
when i was in college i lived with 3 people for my second year, one was a scouse one was a scotish girl and i was the geordie, then there was the french one.

it seemed everything he did got on my nerves be it him taking of his pants as soon as he shut the front door and hogging the tv in the living room, then having a fit when you told him to put them back on because your mother or girlfriend was in.

or when he decided that it would be a good idea to buy twenty litres of milk so that he could 'save money' and then cramming them into the fridge when really he was far too lazy to go to the shops once a week.

or when he just flat out refused to do any cleaning up because he apparently cleaned up everywhere he went as he was just that tidy (he never ever ever cleaned up, especially the bathroom) he didnt even clean up to get his deposit back at the end of the year although the letting agency was nice and made him pay more on the shared area cleaning bill.

but we got our revenge, he loved the tv and in france they dont have fuses in their appliances so it was rarther easy to just take the fuse out of the socket so he couldnt play his xbox, this went on for weeks untill he screaned at me to fix the tv. then we replaced his xbox with a broken one which nearly brought him to tears. and when we took the batteries out of his controller he nearly kicked down a door. most of the things revolved around messign with the tv he was that desperate to play it, eventually we just took the tv away and just pretended that one of us had bought it off the other, he then demanded that he be repayed the few pounds worth of tv license he had not used up even though it took two months to get it out of him.

he did however provide some comedy for us, his english was bad and he had 'trouble understanding us' and his vocabulary was poor too, so when we argued with him he would come out with little gems such as instead of saying i am angry he would say.. THIS IS MAKING ME ME VERY HUNGRY! which then became his catchphrase from then on

then we discovered he was homophobic too after we watched brokeback mountain, he was obviously disgusted by two men kissing and he was very vocal about this throughout the movie although he refused to leave because it was for him a free movie. we then played pranks such as gettign gay people to grind up to him during a party we had and him getting very angry about that,after that incident whenever he got really really really pissed off about anything such as us telling him to sod off for being a crap roommate or after us playing other pranks on him his last words of the argument before slamming the door would be AND I AM NOT GAY!

then at the end of the tenancy i called him a communist and that no one likes french people, especially dickish french people. the letting agency refused to have anything to do with him as we all said that there was no way he was staying at the house for another year. he said that he did nothing to us, that his life had been made difficult because he did not want to move 15 minutes away from college, even though we lived 10 minutes away and he still got the bus 1 stop everyday because he was that lazy and that cheap.

and thats why i hate french people and now check to see who will be in the house before signing contracts

sorry about length, bad spelling and punctuation but i needed to vent
