Backgrounder on meeting my travel-mates (Sally). I can honestly say that my life changed when I open the door at Grey St to see Tony and Yatesy standing there. They said "We're in the Drama Society and a bit famous on campus - can we move in?" and I simply said "OK". (Mind you; a year later we also let another soon-to-be-beloved flatmate move in just because her cat had a funny name - so what did I know?) Months went by and Miranda arrived in th...
