The Players

Hi, this page shows all the people who help to make my life the saga of shame and embarrassment that it is.

MY FLATMATES:

          

Thierry - He'd probably describe himself as having an intellect as refined as his jawline is chiselled. Infuriatingly successful with the opposite sex. My first port of call for difficulties in this department, and a solid wingman.

Hussein - Always the first to mock, to laugh at my blünders, but he's reliable in times of great need. If anyone has a problem in the flat, Hussein is always willing to lend an ear, and therefore has earned everyone's respect.

Matilda - The first flatmate I met. I made an immediately poor first impression that led to further blünders.  So far, she has only shown up in Fresh Meat and The Kate Escape p.2 so I'll keep her as a mystery until her future appearances.

Melissa - She may be nocturnal, but if you adjust your sleeping hours, she's one of the nicest people
you'll meet. She's just a phone call away if something goes wrong, but because of this she's become an agony aunt to so many people that her phone never stops ringing. She also has a higher alcohol tolerance than Charlie Mopps.

UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK:

Kate - She has a boyfriend, but you wouldn't know it.  She is very forward and has her own story on the blog. I keep running into her by accident, and so there are quite a lot of Kate stories coming up.

Nita - I met her in Freshers' Week and thought she seemed really cool. Then the 'crazy' started coming out. She hates ugly, fat and poor people and yet calls herself a 'philosopher'.

Hayley- The girl who has to deal with the ego of Thierry on a regular basis. How she puts up with it, we'll never know! I think she lives somewhere near Scotland.

Jay - If he was to write a blog, it would look something like this one. Considers himself one of the most unlucky people on the planet, and so constantly asks why bad things happen to him.

HOME TOWN:

Helen - Before coming to university, she was the girl I pined for. I've tried to meet up with her since moving away from home, but it has never gone quite to plan.

Rene - Helen's best friend, pretty much inseparable. Also a friend of mine. Most of the time she gets my sense of humour, sometimes she doesn't.

Featured in: The Nightmare Before Christmas p.3 - A Tale of Two 'Sit-Ins' - 1st Half  - A Tale of Two 'Sit-Ins' - 2nd Half - The Nightmare After Christmas - Along Came A Cider and she was also present in the following, although not mentioned: The Nightmare Before Christmas p.2 - Head Over Heels 

Eleanor - The smartest girl in school, currently gallivanting around the world. When she comes back home, she's an interesting drunk.

Elliot - That one friend that everybody has who is crazy, whether drunk or sober, he's what people describe as a 'character'.

Ben - He could have been really popular and successful with the girls, but we knew he was better than us, so we held him back. Works out in the gym and yet is the embodiment of modesty.

Featured in: - On The Other Foot Head Over Heels - The Nightmare After Christmas and was present at Canteen-age Dirtbag

Jane - Was my closest friend at primary school, but we drifted apart. When we became friends again, she was different to how I remembered.

Aaron - He has a lot in common with James Bond. He's trained in multiple martial arts, is skilled in marksmanship, and has a certain way with the ladies. Drink of choice: Martini, shaken, not stirred.

Featured in: Head Over Heels - From Russian Standard With Love and was present at Canteen-age Dirtbag

Bridgette - The first girl to ask me out. Not seen in over four years. Current location: unknown.
