    Is it 'on' to unlock his door and shut the window in there??

    Nope. As much as I have sympathy for you, you can't do that. :D

    Shove an old towel across the bottom of the door to block the draught.

    Good thinking :wink: The banister upstairs is permanently draped in his towels so I'll use one of them. I'm now really sensitive to the banging and rattling of his door - I hadn't noticed it before now!

  • OF COURSE he's got the window flung open, he's been smoking in there. I hope it's sub-zero in his room when he gets back it'll serve the blighter right

    Won't that void your insurance?
    Leaving windows open in an unattended rooms is generally a no no

    My best guess is that it already is! We're having a proper blowy, cold, wet night here in Wales... and he's on the top floor of a three-storey house on top of a hill.

    It would be the icing on the cake if his bedclothes were wet and frozen while he's got a hangover and coming to terms with the news of his eviction :rotfl:

    Oo, my cruel streak appears to be peeping...

    Actually I totally just Facebook-stalked her... She's bloody 19! :eek:

    Oh, correction here, by the way - her birthday's in December so she's actually 18 _pale_

  • Oh, it doesn't really matter how young she is as long as she's over the age of consent. Some men like em young and compliant as they often don't know any better. Still, he's not going to remain much of a catch homeless and with his job on the line.....

    Well at least his door's quietened down now, thanks to a Liverpool FC towel rolled up at the bottom (what kind of a Welshman supports Liverpool FC anyway?) and a white hand towel stuffed into the 'lock' side of the door. Peace again :p
