Low grade but perpetual oddness
led to to the rest of us getting somewhat "big brother" and kicking the twat out when it came to lease renewal.

He was known amongest classmates at uni, and even beyond, as "Odd ******". Odd moments include:
Us discovering that he used a steak knife to pin his timetable up in his room.
He got a job from Farmfoods, and thereafter lived almost entirely off produce from that store. He often offered us his leftovers. No-one ever accepted. The worst of the ready meals has to have been the ready made mash potato-with-gravy- grim smelling stuff.

He'd leave the left overs in the fridge. For weeks.

One of his non-ready meal creations was a bag of small frozen pork chops. He boiled these. And had them plain.

He took up smoking (in a non-smoking flat). Rather than ciggies or roll-ups, he went straight to a pipe. He was quite insistant his parents were not to know.

We had a fairly small hot water tank, that only heated over night (unless we used the expensive boost). He's empty this with 4am scalding hot (we'd see the setting he left it on) showers that would ensure the other three of us couldn't get a decent shower at half seven when we got up. This really was the main thing that caused us to kick him out. I think we had even resorted to violence to try and get our unhappiness across. Certainly, he was regularly woken with extreme anger.

As far as we know, he moved back with his deeply christian parents for third year. Thanks to hios massively increased commute, he turned up for lectures even less. I think he dropped out.

We replaced him with the son of the guy who owns Farmfoods. He never ate their produce (prefering instead the computer-geek staple of pizzas delivered to the door).
