Flatmate super powers

Always pulls the hair out of the plughole Can fix your computer Has a world-class collection of teas Listens to music using headphones Grandmaster recycler Talks about problems, hates passive-aggressive notes Will always deny overhearing your sex noises Can fix your bicycle Starts work at 10AM, so no shower clashes in the morning Will cat-sit for you and enjoy it Entire social circle is charming, witty, & devilishly handsome.

What I'm looking for

East or Northish London, zones 1-3 Within 10 minutes walk of the Northern Line or East London Line Living with 1 or 2 others (and/or ≤4 cats) Double bed, some storage space Enough room for the bed, a desk, and the occasional press-up Somewhere safe to keep my bike.
