a girl living there,she was originally from croydon--she had hair down to 
her bum,completely straight--and dyed pink,4 got her name now,was that 
sarah,kev byker did have a pet rat,remember that,was it originally all white 
in colour,and he had dyed its fur red or something?? there was also a 
scotish girl living there,she was heavy into the joke and damned//there was 
this guy who i did not know very well but who kept nicking other peoples 
giros,(that wasnt u was it neil....lol....only joking)he was a pain,think he 
got beat up in the end--hey do u remember the bathroom? the loo/sink/bath 
had been painted in these psycadellic colours,and the lighting was really 
--out there--so that every time any 1 went in there,they lost there sence of 
direction/purpose
and what dimention they were in--it really did have that effect....lots of 
people came and went from that quat//the wonder stuff lived there 4 a few 
wks when i was there,other bands used to hang out there as well,i loved 
it,rent free,only having to contribute to elect bill--which between about 
10--15 people was nothing at all//every 1 there could do something useful,on 
a pratical level,u know,plumming/elect trix../so on....at 1 point i had a 
job in debanhams,9--to--5,well that only lasted a few weeks,as usually i 
just did not get enough sleep,party after party,or it was a case of--making 
an attemp to get a decent nights sleep,so i could get up 4 work,whilst a
