It appears that the washing machine is leaking water, which is going through my downstair neighbour's ceiling.

Even though the plumber has been here twice to check already.

Fortunately the neighbour is very understanding. Monday = more calls to the management people demanding this to be fixed. Leaking ceilings = teh suck.

I'm reading a book called "Join Me - The true story of a man who started a cult by accident" by Danny Wallace. The back cover says:

Bored, Danny Wallace placed a whimsical small ad in a local paper, saying simply 'Join Me'. Within a month he was receiving letters and e-mails from strangers all over the country, eager to sign up.

Teachers, mechanics, sales reps, vicars, schoolchildren, pensioners - all pledged allegiance to his cause. No one knew what the cause was. Least of all Danny...

Soon he was proclaimed Leader. Increasingly obsessed, and possibly power crazed, he risked losing his sanity and his loyal girlfriend. But who could deny the attraction of a global following of thousands of devoted joinees?

If only he could come up with something for everyone to do...

I'm 1/5 into the book and so far it's really interesting.

Sounds like an interesting book. And the premise is oddly appealing because so many people do follow others without knowing the real reason why.

I hope it stays interesting for the other 4/5s
