This post reminds me of a friend of mine
Who went to University in Preston. It was back in the days when barely anybody had the t'interweb. And if you did, it was horiffically slow.

He would write to me every week without fail, and he was totally miserable. The people in the premises where he shared used to treat him like crap, and I was the only person to stick by him when everybody else was opposed to him.

The problem was, that they were all sheep and couldn't accept anybody with individuality (he loves his prog rock and looks like he belongs in the early 1970s). Strange really, as he's not a total twat. Just had the misfortune to live with a shower of total twats at the time.

It must have been difficult being out of town with no escape from it all. Personally, I got sick of being messed around in college and got a job pretty sharpish, and did a nightschool course or two after work hours.

Downside was a big pile of mates were scattered all four points of the compass and I had nobody to hang out with anymore. :-(

Things nowadays are far more improved, I know shitloads of decent mates now. :-D
