Dear Uncle Chet, I really miss Ken Todd (ex-Provost), how can I get over this longing feeling I have for him? In-love, N-block

CK: Hmm, I would say that feeling harbour in you for as long as possible, and when it gets too much for you, track him down in the phonebook and tell him. Although don't do anything illegal as I don't want to be responsible!

Dear Uncle Chet, there’s a girl in my flat that I really like, but she never looks twice at me, I think it may be my excessive facial hair, what can I do? Hairy, M-block

CK: I would say at the end of the day pluck up the courage, and ask her out face to face, and if she knocks you back there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Dear Uncle Chet, I recently had some terrible news, my hamster died, he was my best friend, and since he went I can’t stop longing to run in a hamster wheel – do you know where I can find a human-size one? Lonely, F-block

CK: Save all your bog rolls, and the cardboard bits inside, glue them altogether and fashion one together yourself, and I personally would love to see it.

Dear Uncle Chet, I'm a fresher and the person in the room next to me entertains his lady-friends very loudly at very inappropriate hours – security services tell me it’s not their concern – what else can I do? Tired, C-block

CK: First all, try approach them in the daytime as it's a issue that could annoy lots of people. But it's never nice geting people in trouble so try talk to them. Generally, be the nice wonderful colourful character you are, if not, it's them that's wrong, not you!

Dear Uncle Chet, I'm only 18, but have a really obvious receeding hairline, and it's affecting my luck with men - I'm running out of ideas and think I may have to buy a wig, can you help? Balding, E- block

CK: This is something that's quite close to home for me personally as I've lost all mine so I'd say shave it all off, but not I'm not sure the whole Britney Spears look will work for you love so try one of those headscarf [Chet consults with male-friends to try remember the name of a headscarf], but yeah, try accesorising, i'm sure you look gorgeous anyway.

Ha, the typo in the first answer is hilarious, loving it! Thanks for the interview, the cold was much easier to bare with the laughs I had with a few mates on the hamster and er, noises issue!

Cheers
