<HTML>Ooktavia: Be careful. That sounds scarily like getting a proper job and
being all grown up !

you can afford a flat in London must be fairly grown up.)</HTML>

<HTML>well... i know nurses are badly paid, but they get London weight-in and so on.
when i was on that money i shared a flat with a nurse and she was soooo better off than me...
booksellers are exploited and publishing pays crap... just my luck for my choice of career</HTML>

<HTML>I thought that as well (either that or he'd cut a leg off and had begun talking in a higher pitched voice in order to get a bed on a ward), but no - he's really living in a flat with two other people. And it even has a roof, and everything....</HTML>

<HTML>No - actual, genuine third floor flat, with walls, windows and even wooden floors... The worst bit is it's completely wasted on this guy as he's the least style-conscious person I've ever met.
