Neighbours

I live on a private estate of detached houses. My neighbour opposite me is a complete and total arsehole, so too is the one next door. Every time I go out with a bucket of water to wash the car him opposite creates merry hell in case I get his car wet which is parked next to mine. I play my music with the window open and he is ranting and raving about the loud noise. Moans about the state of my garden to all and sundry. The man is a total bell end, but . . . . . . haven't seen him for over 3 weeks now at his home but seen him driving his car in town, so I reckon he has been told to leave by his "missus". She isn't much better, a right miserable bitch if ever there was one.

To the left of me is another right twat but I am doing a great job of ignoring the Sh#t-for-brains and an uneasy truce exists between us.  The chap that sold it to them was a great bloke.

To the right of me is the very best neighbours I have ever had, no trouble whatsoever. They are both deceased and the house is empty.

Best neighbours are no neighbours. Definitely no neighbours with kids. If anyone with children moved near me, I would sell straight away. I absolutely hate the feckers.

When I lived in the U.K., I wouldn’t buy any house with kids anywhere nearby. I used to get on Google Earth and Street view to look for signs of the wee scumbags. Any location with a garden trampoline or basketball net nearby, or any driveway with a bike and it was an automatic no go for me.

I live in a row of 16 terraced bungalows. I know every one of my fellow residents well enough to have a good long natter with...and if I didn't I would soon enough. It's that kind of village and that kind of area.

Village population is around 900. I would easily name 150 of the adults and recognise a large chunk of the rest. We have a pub, a village hall, a football club and a disused railway line that people can walk / cycle / horse ride. The village hall committee organises trips to the theatre, days out to the seaside and places of interest, film nights, quizzes, indoor bowls, wine club, floor ball, scouts, lots of other stuff for the kids and OAPs, and, as the poster always says 'lots, lots more'. I can walk in the pub on my own any time, not have to say what I want to drink and know that I can talk to anyone in there.

Not so good for a secret 'one night stand', though. Have to go to the next village for that 

Sounds idyllic but I couldn't handle that myself. I prefer the anonymity offered by a mostly transient neighbourhood.

All public places they should be.....

1. On a leash
2. Muzzled or preferably gagged.

Under 5s should be banned from flights too. They travel for nothing and ruin it for people paying full whack. Same goes for restaurants and pubs. That's what McDonald's is for,

I love being in restaurants, overseas, where there are lots of families. Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey...

Lots of children, playing with each other. Lots of adults talking with each other.

Lots of fun, lots of kindness.

I'm glad I kept my cock away in my pants.

S.

You'll be near 70 before you gets a Lambo Huck..FFS you'll never get in and out of the thing.

You want a forum owners car, a pimped up diesel Merc taxi like Marco
Or a wee Fiat Doblo like Dicky.

I can only think of one neighbour that I've not got on with, miserable old bitch complaining about noise, even though the music was played quiet (honest). None of my neighbours have had kids, I have mainly lived in bungalows which don't attract families, the very first property I purchased was a semi detached bungalow.

A man after my own heart. Animal charities for us too when we pop our clogs.

Buying catefully is the key. I like to live amongst older people so like Antonio, I tend to favour bungalows. Also stay well away from houses near a school. Any areas nearby where kids or tennis can gather and it’s an immediate no do. Same with any sign of graffiti. Neighbours either side pay close attention to how clean the windows are, how tidy keep their bins, how well tended the garden is. Look for a nice car and run a mile if you see a people carrier with any kiddie stickers or paraphernalia inside. Any litter nearby also gets me to walk away.

I always ask about neighbours when viewing too and I search Streetcheck for crime reports. You can’t legislate for a knob head moving in after you do rhough.

You should start a charity fund. People would probably give towards that Lambo just to piss off your enemies

Another animals charity fan here. Used to give to the RSPCA and The Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Dislike all cruelty to animals, and the are some bad bar stewards out there.

We're lucky that there doesn't seem to be any kids around use and although we live in a ground floor flat (Large Victorian house converted into 2 flats, upstairs/downstairs) we hardly hear our neighbours.

Did you have the choice?
