Important Rat's Nest news - We've got a new flatmate. She's nice. Her name is Cat. It was her first night in the house last night.

A night which unfortunately coincided with the World cup final. An event which put the house rats in a most drunken and despairing mood due to Zizou's shameful exit from international football....

We rolled into the house drunk as skunks, shouting and throwing cold sardines around the kitchen whilst arguing like brats, causing Cat to come out from her room where she was having a quiet evening no doubt contemplating her new home.

Then she looked on in horror or was it bemusement as the three of us fought over noodle soup from one gigantic bowl, spilling it everywhere as we missed our mouths and said narky, football induced things to each other.

Leo has sent me an email which sums it up perfectly...

"I can only imagine what a dark and twisted scene it must have appeared, as three voracious and hairy beasts poured themselves over the noodle troff and stuck their snouts in, bickering amongst each other as they went..., leo "he's a SECRET italy supporter...stop hogging the noodle!"...jess, "yeh shut up turtle..this needs some stock!"..., Turtle, "Well Im going to have a rolie!"...Its like bad theatre, haha the poor girl must have been wondering what she got herself into! WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF HORROR RATS MOOHAHA!!"

Ahem. Poor Cat.
