Ok, so this isn't technically my own roommate, but hell, it's been a thorn in my side since September. Basically, I live in Boston, and my girlfriend attends university in Norwich. Norwich is a 70 mile journey from home, so I tended to get up there every other week or so from September, depending on work and suchlike. Obviously, she could come down to me, but it was a) cheaper for me to drive and b ) more privacy-my mum makes us sleep in separate beds. Lisa shares a house with two other girls. One of them is alright, apart from the occasional thing, the other is an absolute cunt. This is the main source of my rage: Lisa and I cooked chicken and sauteed potatoes last night, and Lisa then washed everything up, as she always does. We went into town this morning, and came home to that note pinned to her door. If you can't read it, what it says is: Lisa, I just had to rewash most of your washing up because it was covered in grease. Please can you make sure things are cleaned fully in future. It didn't have a name signed to it. Now, you may think "fair enough, if things were messy." Yeah. Except, we went into the kitchen. There were still dirty pots on the sides (either from passive aggressive housemate or housemate number 2). Furthermore, the pots she had rewashed hadn't been used again, and had therefore been put away. Now, our main bone of contention is that noone made her wash them up. If she had wanted to use them, then yeah, fair enough, rewash them. However, why only wash half the pots? Particularly those that aren't her own mess. Furthermore, if you aren't going to use them, why did they need rewashing THERE AND THEN? Why not wait until we got home, and politely ask us to rewash them? We would've been open to doing that. In what world is doing it, and then writing a passive aggressive note about it a good solution? The irritating thing is, I have done a lot of this housemate's washing up before, like if we ever needed to cook, they would often leave dirty pots requiring washing. Likewise Lisa often ends up caving in and doing the entire kitchen because it's an absolute tip. Why, randomly, has she decided everything must be clean? There's no inspection or anything. So yeah, pissed off. It wouldn't be so bad, but this is the last in a long line of absolute cuntish things she's done. Like when I took Lisa away to a hotel for her 21st birthday. I arrived at the house, said hello to both housemates, and then picked our stuff up and left. Obviously, not wanting to be disturbed, we turned our phones off. Anyway, morning comes, we check out, and Lisa turns her phone on. Three text messages, and a few missed calls. One text off each housemate, and one off of Lisa's best friend from Woking, each demanding to know where she was and why she hadn't come home. Seriously. Now, when we got home, did any of them actually speak to her, or anything? No. Did they fuck. Issues are thus: a) they saw me going out with her. What the fuck did it matter that she didn't come home? b ) Why get the friend from Woking involved? What exactly can she do? c) Why the sudden interest in her life when they hadn't said two words to her prior to her leaving (one of them didn't even wish her happy birthday). What a load of shit. On top of this, we have the frequent lack of washing up, hogging of Lisa's Xbox360 and HDTV, and the noise. OH THE NOISE. One of the two of their favourite games is to sit in their rooms, doors open (10 ft max. away from one another) and to yell at each other. Not horrible things. Just bullshit. Screaming etc. Finally, there's the whole party thing. It was deadlines week, and Lisa was ill and had an essay to do. Her housemates decided to hold a party in the house. First Lisa knew about it was a facebook event invite. "Oh, is this ok?" Bit fucking late. So the house was full of drunk people, and Lisa couldn't a) work or b ) sleep. They also left the house in a mess which Lisa had to clean up. ONE MORE THING. Two weeks before Xmas, I managed to wangle a weekend off work. So, I arranged to come down to Norwich to see Lisa before Xmas. Her best friend had also come down, but had arrived on Wednesday (she had invited herself/been invited by cunt housemate), so it was assumed she'd leave on Saturday before I got there. Nope.jpg. So, we have this gooseberry (who hates me btw for no reason other than I am dating Lisa and she can't) who won't take a hint. Now me being a nice sort cooked a roast dinner for Lisa, Cunt housemate, and Best Friend. CH said thanks, BF didn't. Whatever. Anyway, fast forward to a month ago. CH's boyfriend has arrived, and is cooking a roast dinner for CH, CH's friend, and himself. Lisa was also in the house. Did she get offered any food? Did she fuck. It's just that sort of unfair thing that pisses me off. I realise I undermine my own point by calling her a cunt, but fuck me, she deserves it. One day I will rant about my various housemate experiences, but this is the most recent. Maybe I'm overreacting and really we suck and this is normal behaviour?

Nexus forgot, sorry. Feel free to carry on though.

I don't think that's true... Pretty sure most if not every game crashes at one time or another. Or maybe I'm just unlucky

I've not had any real problems with my PS3 version. Also, it autosaves everytime you go to a new zone. It occasionally crashes, but every game does that.

Dean: First person I thought of Saturnine you can go change it yourself, I haven't started collating things yet.

Again, whichever title you put at 1 gets 15 points, 2 gets 14 etc until 15 gets 1 point. So order is important.

Yeah, the previous deadline doesn't exist. We haven't had enough replies yet. Has Dean made a list yet? 2nd May new deadline.
