The Spanish inquisition - A Charlie Brooker style rant about my Spanish roommates.

[thharwood]

So you've decided to treat your teenage daughter to a lovely 5-day-non-stop-fun trip to London. And you're Spanish (not being racist or anything, they were in fact from Spain, deal with it.) For some odd reason you decide to stay in a youth hostel, which is fine in itself as the hostel isn't one of those 'oh, we only take backpackers aged 18-35'

At least they have gone and your fun is only just started? :P

The thing is that they were actually very nice, just completely unaware as to how one should behave when sharing a room with strangers.

I had a roommate once who slept with a 60W 'nightlight'. It was brighter than the bulb in our overhead lamp! and of course she had to direct the light away from her bed so it wouldn't keep her awake (nevermind that away from hers was toward mine). I feel your pain at oblivious roommates.

People, what a bunch of bastards.

You have no way of knowing this of course, but that was the perfect quote to use - spent the hours after supper watching series one and two of the IT Crowd with my family (well, dad left to go home partway through and mum dozed off, and I missed Moss and the German cuz I had to leave the room and deal with other stuff, but my brothers loved it).

lol but of course I had a way of knowing it! I sensed it using the brain-twinz-sma-superpowers!

Obviously. You sensed a very humorous disturbance in the force.
