Student accommodation Leeds – WANTED

When I was ten my mother took me to a university psychiatrist to test my intellect. At ten? It's a fashion nowadays, but wasn't really then. The psychometric test was down to my uncle's insistence: “You've got to know what the lad's capable of doing, Pat.” Nothing wrong with my intellect at ten, I understood perfectly.

The discussion followed my concoction in the garage. I took some bleach, a puff of Vim powder, some of my mother's perfume, some peanut oil, then beat it with an electric blender, and finally stung the mix with a hot soldering iron! There was a fizzle, whizz, a loud pop, and a black bang of smoke that put my father's pipe to shame.

Unfortunately, the tests weren't as fun, and the results weren't given to me. I received them at sixteen after succeeding at chemistry and physics in school. My mother and uncle booked me a place at a university in Leeds, then contacted cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/teethwhitening.html. I felt uncomfortable at the thought of leaving my “Ma”, but she said it would save on perfume, so we compromised and I put an add on Gumtree for WANTED.
