My room-mate, Tommy, is disgusting. (I shall refer to Tommy as “he”, although to be honest it’s hard to be certain of “his” sex). Firstly, although he doesn’t like tap water because it contains too many “chemicals”, he is perfectly happy to drink rain-water. Normally though, he drinks mineral water, which really annoys me. Bottled water is probably the biggest con in the history of the world. Has no-one else noticed what evian spells backwards? It is hundreds of times more expensive than tap water and not really any better for you. In transporting the stuff around the world, tonnes and tonnes of CO₂ are released into the atmosphere, and yet the same product is available from a tap in the next room. I suspect Tommy actually quite likes the idea of more CO₂.

I’ve never seen Tommy go for a wash. In fact he hardly ever moves at all except to eat. His odour is so strong that he attracts flies (seriously!). Now this is the really filthy bit: I’ve actually seen him catch one of the flies and eat it. Now I’m normally quite open-minded and tolerant, but I think it’s fair to say that Tommy belongs in a swamp.

I did ask if I could take a photo of him for my blog, but he didn’t respond. I took it anyway.
