I absolutely HATE my neighbours. HATE THEM!!! They are like living next door to victor meldrew, infact he even looks like him.
I think im quite a good neighbour, i dont have parties, i never play music, i keep the house in a good state, i never have loads of people arriving at all times of day. The neighbour on the other side of me (an old lady) is so lovely and i look out for her, take her mail in, give her xmas pressies etc but the other side i HATE!!!
They are totally unreasonable, telling kids off for playing in snow outside (young kids making a snowman i may add) They came out and tell me that i cant wash my car 'there' (outside my house) and when challenged threaten to 'knock you out'.
The sort of people that the min you move your car they come out and steal your parking space all for the benefit of moving up ONE car. (they did this today when i went to the postoffice for 5 mins) They are quite insane. and i reckon its about time i started to be the neighbour they deserve!!!
I swear if i win the lottery im going to keep this house and rent it out to the roughest family i can find
New series starts at 9 on C4

I quite often want to say something, but know it's not worth a thread of it's own. So I'm going to say it here.
Those adverts over there >>>>>
I know they can be linked to what people have been 'searching for'. But it just showed me one for an AAT course, which is quite spooky because we just had our accountant in (year end and all that) and I was discussing with him about whether it would be worth me doing that course.
Anyway, please feel free to mention anything here that you can't be bothered think isn't worth starting a thread about, but want to say.
.
A very happy birthday Amythist . I hope you have a lovely day .
Prime material for Private Eye.
Super injunction. I've got one out on the Crib
Funny how they're silent if you don't believe me.
Roll over and let them tickle your belly. Scotland's mine - it won't be hijacked.
