Last week, there was a man inside the gate at the bottom of my fire escape at Casa Slick.
It was afternoon so there were a few people around hanging out in the courtyard. I walked downstairs and only until I was face-to-face with the man did he notice my presence. He was a white male with pale skin, in his early 30's, about 5'10, cross-eyed, blonde/white hair and slim build. He was wearing beige trousers and a pale yellow jumper.
Albie impression of psycho man
I hesitantly said "hello" while figuring how to get my scooter out as it is quite a small space we were occupying. Mumbling to himself, he said, "I'm going to set 'her' on fire..."
Freaked out just a touch, I opened the gate and phoned my flatmate Cleo Davis who was upstairs. I asked Cleo to come downstairs to "pass me a jumper". Mostly it was me being a whoosie needing backup but part of it was for the comedy factor (in a not funny way). She walked downstairs and she too was freaked out by the psycho man. When getting the chain off my scooter, he went one further repeatedly saying "I'm going to kill him". I hurriedly got my scooter out, waited for Cleo to run up to the house (and double lock it) and went.
He's been spotted again in my gate recently but I think he’s a local or at least a regular in the local arcade next door to us. I hope the psycho scary man doesn't show again. If he does, what do I do? Call the police? Tell him to pee off ever so nicely?
It may seem minor and I jest about it but imagine if he was downstairs late at night and I was alone! I'd completely cack myself. Or imagine if he actually tried to do harm to one of us!?
Appeal Points
A few years ago there was a friend on there but to my sadness and a lot of other peoples she was a victim of murder...the killer is now thankfully caught and she can now rest in peace.
On to a lighter note. Speaking of TV, on my day of rest I spent the evening watching Season 5 of The Hills. Georgia Goodrick introduced it to me and we watched the whole season over 6 hours.
I never used to watch it but by the end of the last episode, I knew all the names of the characters and was singing along to Natasha Beddngfield at the beginning credits.
Lauren Conrad of The Hills
Kelly Cutrone of Peoples Revolution
In the show, the cut-throat world that is fashion was on brutal display when Kelly Cutrone from Peoples Revolution had Lauren Conrad (main character) fire her friend (and deservedly so). She said, "Think guillotine. Clean..." It would be so amazing to work with them, their company seems so cool but at the same time hard work. Plus it’s in LA LA Land! There, or actually any major PR company in NYC and possibly even London would be fun times.
I also actually learned lots about relationships watching The Hills. You got to see the relationships from different angles, which was quite an eye-opener. However, some people are just pricks and the worse thing is that they can't see it. I'm not even talking about Spencer. At first I thought he was a knob punching the guy at the bar but he is too funny! It’s that girl Stacie who I thought the prick of that season was, the bartender girl. I couldn’t believe she turned up to Spencer and Heidi’s wedding. Grrr...
Anyways, peace, love and "please don't have nightmares"

Appeal Points
- Do you recognise the E-fit of the psycho man? He is likely to be known within the local drug-taking community in Shepherds Bush.
Have you come across something similar by a stranger at your door?
Casa Slick will offer a reward of a cup of a tea for information resulting in psycho man not being on our doorstep again.
