Theiving pikey bastards..

This week has been ace in many ways; it turns out that the university isn't there to screw you over and if you cry at the right people they will help you, they won't wipe your tears away and give you a biscuit like your mum does though but I guess you can't have everything. It has also been ace because I made a lush sausage stew which was lush (so much so that it needed saying twice).

The ways in which it hasn't been ace concern the same people and very similar problems. It would seem that paying the powers that be nearly £90 a week for a nice-ish flat doesn't mean that they will provide you with somewhere to keep your stuff without it being nicked. It is also (apparently) unreasonable to be annoyed when some theiving pikey steals something that we have left in our communal area.

Looking at it now, the biggest thing that has happened is actually quite funny but basically my flatmate Andy has an xbox and keeps it in the living room where the TV is, now if it had just been stolen that would be nice and straightforward but it hasn't, someone came in yesterday and swapped their, granted newer but nevertheless, broken xbox for Andy's which is fully functioning. The thing that is most frustrating is that when we told the warden it seemed like she didn't understand why were so bothered and as she very helpfully pointed out, it is a COMMUNAL area so if we leave anything in there it is at our own risk, which is fine except we trust everyone we let in. The people we don't trust are the cleaners, the student union people, random admin staff that work in the office, 'plumbers', 'electricians' and every other random person that the uni gives master keys to.

As you can see in the picture we had made some beautiful posters of our lovely lush boys and today someone who was in the flat destroyed them, no joke they actually pulled the faces off of them and when we went to complain, the same whiney warden spoke to us like we were ridiculous children. Tres frustrating because it would seem that we literally have no power and the more we complain the less they seem to care.
