It was more item 3 that I thought was a bit hypocritical.

Knowing ones limits is different from being a lightweight, I'll think you'll find.

As far as I'm aware, I didn't reach my limits last weekend. I can still remember everything (including that bloody horrible burger 
) right up to going to bed, which means I was relatively sober.

Well, relative is such a relative phrase, eh? 
You made the *classic* pissed blokes mistake of buying a burger, and also of taking the bed nearest the door, thus ensuring the pissed bloke coming in after you had to climb over you...

To be honest, I was absolutely shattered. I just fell on the floor as soon as I could. It could've been Liv Tyler climbing over me and I wouldn't have noticed.

Ah, the old 'Tired and Emotional' argument eh?
And of course Liv would be climbing over you, to get to me. 
(You just keep settin' 'em up, son, I'll keep knocking 'em over.)

To momentarily deflect the conversation away for drunken sleeping behaviour...
Somebody earlier suggested she gives you details of her greivances in writing, that is a really good suggestion. Also check to see if there are any provisions in the contract to protect your right to enjoy the property under normal circumstances. I would say that her threats to evict restrict your ability to 'enjoy' the property, so ask her to state her greivances in writing, including how she believes they are grounds for eviction under your contract. Tell her that you want this so the legal department in the housing office (or CAB) can look into the matter for you, as you are finding her constant threats unbearable. Make vague comments about compensation.
I had a landlord who was incredibly anal once, but he didn't threaten me with eviction (he needed the money) just moaned all the time. I took delight in small petty acts of chaos induction, like moving one book at a time in his vast library of alphabetically stored books (always made me giggle that, especially noting how long it took for him to nothice and put them back), and putting forks in the spoon draw etc. I knew those things upset him but they weren't enough to get me evicted, but they kept me amused enough to survive the last couple of months...

To go back a few posts.....
You both snore!!!!!!
B, you were especially loud that night, but at least it was regular steady breathing.
Blues – Ok, so it was much quieter than B’s efforts on that particular night (I really couldn’t comment about your efforts in general) but it was of the irregular sort, will you/won’t you take another breath........half breath/snort...... off we go again.

Oh Odo, and you promised *not* to kiss and tell...

Did I promise?
I couldn’t stand the controversy any more! And to make all that noise when you had a roomy and comfortable mattress.

On the subject of the corkscrew, at my work (in the lab of a winery) we do have to leave a cork on ours under health and safety rules...
But then, we're not allowed knives.
And the walls are padded.
I think theres something they're not telling me.

Kelli - drastic! if I put a spoon in the fork drawer I'd get a £5 spot fine, I should think.

You clearly need legal representation. And maybe your landlady needs something to remove that stick up her butt..

You both snore. But neither of you in as irritating a manner as Bruce. My take-away was fine

You had that pizza, didn't you? It did look distinctly more appetising than mine.

Pete assures me that this - - is a very good likeness of Kerr at about 5.30 on Sunday morning when attempting to go to bed...

My boyfriend's landlady likes to keep her soap on the floor...what is it with landladies.
I had one whose ferets bit me in the feet all the time. They pushed my locked door open, climbed over a safety gate, woke me up by biting my feet and then when I tried to get them to leave knocked me down and bit me in the behind...this was the worst morning(funny now but not then). She told me they wouldn't bite me if I weren't afraid of them and never could understand that I was afraid because they bit. This of course was only one of many issues.
I would say your landlady is very set in her ways. Is there any way to move???

At least I don't take two hours to drink a single pint of 
. I did indeed have pizza, very spicy chicken, most appealing.
