In his own words
Hello! It's really sunny and warm outside as I write this (which is unusual for York), so it's a perfect time to sit at a computer and write a load of crap about myself! I'm not quite sure what I'm going to put at the minute so if I go off on one, don't worry too much. Hang on, I'm getting a flash of inspiration! Bear with me...

'Twas a cold day in June, when seven wretched souls took over residency of 54, Heslington Road in York, England, UK, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Universe. YO10 5AU. Well, actually it was six because Richard was on holiday but that doesn't matter. He's still wretched like the rest of us. That first day was spent looking around the house in disbelief that we were getting charged £45 a week for such a shithole! However, what we didn't realise was that this very abode would become very dear to our hearts for an entire year.

I'm going to fast forward through the summertime. Let's just say I worked at KFC (along with Mike) for the three months during the holidays and made very little money in the process. Anyway, at least I got plenty of job satisfaction (bwhahahahaha). All seven members of the house came together for the first time at the start of October to begin a new year at university. How we all managed to get this far is still a mystery...

The first couple of months were spent settling into living with six other miscreants (read: getting pissed more than ever before) and also discovering new and exciting things York city centre had to offer. These included the joys of Oki's Special Burgers and the only tavern to serve 6.1% volume Pils under £2, The Hansom Cab. My, that first term flew by.

Christmas came and went and the second term began! To tell you the truth, the second term presented more opportunity for slacking off and was the most fruitful in respect to the amount of time-wasting games we invented. Not only did this term birth the burglar alarm game, it also birthed the 'condom in the bathtub' game also. Shouldn't we be doing some work?

Easter now, and hey! I'm so bored, I decide to make a webshite about the house. It's not quite finished, but I'm sure everyone will live happily ever after. As soon as I get a haircut.
