episode 29: Sir Alfred Nasseri
You think being stuck at home for a few weeks is bad? This guy got stuck living in an airport for 18 YEARS. A lost passport meant no country would take him, so he set himself up near the Maccas in the food court and that was that. Seriously - this one is nutso and sad and almost too hard to believe.
