A hermit has begun 40 days of isolation in a Gothic tower in Manchester Museum.
Ansuman Biswas, 43, who lives in London, plans to contemplate things "lost" and the impact of extinction during his confinement. Mr Biswas has chosen 40 objects to present to the public during his stay, including a human skull and a brick from the Great Wall of China. The city's museum has 4.5 million artefacts, which Mr Biswas will live among until 5 August. His only communication with the outside world will be through his internet blog as he details what life is like in seclusion.

Forty days of isolation? Living in seclusion, away from work, mobile phones, loud-mouthed neds who plague society, screaming grandchildren, demanding daughters, noisy neighbours, infuriating and loud television, drunken arseholes on the night bus home on a Friday night, fecking tourists, queues of traffic....
Room for one more, Mr Biswas????

Sounds like paradise to me!
I'm sure Christian Nade did that last season - I certainly didn't see him for 38 consecutive Hearts matches.
Awww, you'd miss the grandchildren and daughters after a while right? ;D
