Abstract :
DAD HAS announced he\´d like to get rid of my Lego models. It\´s the first step to being thrown out of home - I\´ve only just got back from my second year at uni and he wants to turn my bedroom into a guest room already. "Well, let\´s face it, son, you\´re off into the big world after next year, we could do with a spare room," he says. I tell him that my blighted generation will never leave home, and that he\´s going to have to put up with the models and me and possibly, eventually, a wife and kids, a Little Tikes police car, a drum kit, guinea pigs, hamsters and goldfish, until I can safely pack him off to the care home and take over the master bedroom.
