Bird boy announces imminent departure

Bird boy (Bede) announced about a week ago that he would be leaving the flat. This really upset me, even more so than breaking up with my girlfriend. Bede, as so succinctly described by Bex H, is the "glue" that holds our place together. Or in my words, he is the very essence of all life that exists in our humble home. He will be physically replaced by Asian Bex, who will take over his room mid-February, but his soul will always be present in our beautiful Kingsland home.
