@DeathKnight - Christ man thats rough. I had to help my friend Amys parents salvage their posessions a few years back because of a house fire. Its not a nice thing to go though. Glad things got a bit better though.
As for me, well it was at the start of the year i think. i got kicked out of my flat because i accidentally spilled some beer and it leaked through the floor boards. My landlord lived in the flat below and he was one of those smug egocentric artist types who think they are good at art and have high standards, but are just as common as the rest of us. Anyway the beer dripped on his newest painting and wrecked it a bit so he flies into a rage and kicks me out. (This is the kind of person he is, he used to complain about noise levels and leave notices on my door WHEN I WAS ON HOLIDAY!)
I stayed with axel for a bit then with my friend guy, then adam until I managed to get myself a new flat which was (Youll love this) owned by my previous landlords son!
