Do you remember leaving a woman's body behind when you moved out?

Possibly. It was a while ago to be fair...and it was quite messy.

SHIT. I blame BYRN.
The flats were on the right as you walk up the road.

My main memory of Highmead Close was Byrnies Epic Magnet Gun...
...and once moving a t-shirt on the floor of the dining room/junk room, and finding a patch of mushrooms underneath.

And answering the phone... you were brilliant at that.
"Can I speak to..."
"No, they don't live here..."
And Mr Flufflybunnykins...

To be fair, there were 2 people in the house called Andrew who had never been introduced to me as "Andrew", "Andy" or anything even approaching the name of "Andrew".
I blame whoever it was who called for not calling them (whichever one of them it was) by their accustomed name...

I remember once getting a call at my parents house from Byrnie and my dad saying "it's Andrew on the phone for you" and having no idea who Andrew was and why he would be phoning me

Can't have been me, I was, uh... at work. Yes, that'll do.
To be fair, one of those people called Andrew was actually called Adam, so points for consistency I guess ;)
There's something about introducing yourself, particularly to parents of your mates, by nickname which just feels so wrong. Plus, the ensuing confusion is entertaining...

At least your nickname is actually a name based on your actual name :)
Think about what poor ole Fish has had to put up with since 1990.

I'll never forget Fish's gran asking me "Have you seen Fish?" At a Fishcon.

Back in the 90s, I'd phone Fish's house and his bro/sis would pick up. You ask to speak to errrrr .... [insert codename the witness protection program gave him] and you'd hear the person on the other end shout "FIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!"
