Our landlord is a massive crackpot. He moved in to the house underneath ours which is mainly why we left. The final straw came when he wanted to give our keys to the new tenants two days before we moved out. That's bad enough but instead of calling, emailing or ringing the doorbell, he just stuck his head through our front door and shouted up the stairs. Ewwwww old man get out of our house.

We've been having a fight with him about £100 for a tap. He ripped us the fuck off basically, in the last bout he said he wished he had charged us for the damp, because we hadn't circulated the air in our flat properly. Um, that's because we're not a ceiling fan and a draft. He said we'd scared away potential tenants with the funny smell. That was his final word, 'you stink'.

So, to give you an idea of the kind of batty old twat we're dealing with, when they moved in they obviously didn't have any curtains, so at night you could totally see all their boxes of stuff through the basement window. You could see it twice because they installed some very classy mirrored wardrobes. Anyway, I guess they got paranoid that someone would look in and see an immense pile of tacky crap so they wanted to block out the windows.

If that was me, I would have tied a bed sheet, towel or similar to the curtain rail from inside the flat. But our man in the basement had a better solution, and it looks like this:

Genius.
