is this a bad time to ask how the two other situations upthread eventually panned out?
me and the missus' ex-flatmate had a guy who makes his living as a john cleese lookalike staying with us for a few weeks a while back. having a 50-year-old cleese doppelganger walking around the apartment with no shirt on was not as amusing in practice as it seemed to be in theory for friends of ours who heard about him but didnt have to deal with him or see him in such a scenario. my s/o eventually sent our then flatmate a text message saying something like 'you know i really like having [cleese lookalike] over, but when is he going?' it was a slightly passive-aggressive way of dealing with it, and there was some tension, but i was glad she did it, and that mr cleese pissed off not long afterwards.
