George and Simon met in undergraduate when they were next door neighbours in residence. They became fast friends and later housemates, where George saved Simon's life (literally) through his tenacious lockpicking skills. George is like Simon's big brother. They share a love of hockey, The Sopranos, and travelling. It's George's life long mission make Simon a more adventurous eater, as evidenced by the time he tricked Simon into eating a roe dip without telling him what it was.
