Ditty, Chem.Eng. is a good degree to spring board from (according to my bro). He was initially going to do pure chemistry but liked the idea of petro chemical something or other (I think it was geology or summat). He went to MIT where he got to play with those brainiacs that nearly broke Vegas with their Black Jack counting techniques. He had a blast in the US but got homesick and came back to London and his mummy

A man who owned a parrot that swore like a sailor.... This parrot was so terrible, it could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. One day the man finally got tired of this parrot's horrible speech, and decided to do something about it.
He grabbed the parrot by the throat, shaked it really hard, and yelled, "QUIT IT!" every time the parrot said something ungodly. But this just made the parrot mad, and it swore more than ever.
Next the man tried locking the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravated the parrot, and it clawed and scratched furiously until the man finally let him out (upon which the bird released it's fury in a torrent of language so horrible it could never be repeated).
At that point, the man was so frustrated that he threw the parrot into the freezer. For the first few seconds the parrot made a terrible amount of noise in protest to this treatment, kicking, clawing, and thrashing about. But after a few moments it suddenly went very quiet.
As the silence grew longer the man started to think that the parrot may be hurt. After a couple minutes of silence, he became so worried that he opened up the freezer door. The parrot calmly climbed onto the man's outstretched arm and said, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
Of course, the man was astounded. He could not understand the transformation that had come over his unruly parrot. Then the parrot meekly asked, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

its just.... well, I am sure you can see why its hard to get involved and give an opinon that differs from the majority on here... especially when you are arguing against the majority opinion that a housemate is a bully or an abuser.
Tis the Rex thing all over again... but this time I am not gonna battle to put my opinion forward day in day out.
I will stay and be silly in the shack from now on..
(tis bloody Ducky's fault... how dare she go out on a date & leave me to my own devices!)

When I see him I just go back to being 10 with my old man and it bothers me I suppose. I'm all growed up now though and if JJ spoke to me like that I'd just hit him with a wet kipper

Which, of the many possible threads it could be, is battle being fought Ditty? 
Have to say, it makes a change from last year though... at least people have polarised views rather than general apathy about any of them!
