Birmingham's narrative is interspersed with humorous testimonials from other veterans of the Australian share house lifestyle, and descriptions of common share house paraphernalia, such as the bucket bong (yep), the ubiquitous "brown couch" (mine was blue), and milk crates serving as makeshift furniture (can confirm).
