I beg to differ. The Standard British Way of introducing yourself when you're a new neighbour is to go next door on the day you move in and ask to borrow a cup of sugar.


Bloody is not. The standard British way is to move out five years later having never met your neighbours.


Absolutely :this:. My most recent neighbour tried to invite himself into my flat on a couple of occasions and I was totally freaked out by it.

I don't know know if it's any different from here.

In the 7 years i've been living in Lisbon (in two different flats), i only met two neighbours. One because i dropped a sock in her yard, and the other came apologizing for the awful racket his newborn twins made. And gave me a bag of oranges to compensate.

I've spoken to loads of our neighbours today, which is odd as I would have been out of the house for maybe 60 seconds if I wasn't stopped every six steps. I'm sure they all wait by the front doors and pounce when I leave my flat.

I know my neighbours on both sides. In fact (and stop me if I've told you this before) but we've removed the fence panel between us and the other half of our semi, so we can move freely between gardens on summer evenings or whenever, laden with booze and food, should we choose to socialise.

Which is nice.

I think you have said that before, and it actually sounds quite wonderful. My grandparents used to have a communal garden between the 12 flats, and back in the days when they were all slightly older folk living there, they would often have gatherings and everyone would spontaneously bring out sun loungers and cakes, lemonade and shandy. It was lovely.

I think it gives the forum a nice "tiled Windows" look, when you open 'em all at once. Given the subject matter at hand, quite appropriate I feel. :D

I can't. It depends on your forum theme.

I think today's theme should be 'Frogs, and the joy they bring to the village pond of our lives'.

We should have a daily generated theme. Ooh, then we could have cross-board related pubs. And pun points (measured in bananas, hobviously).

The default one - subsilver 2. And the mobile one.

View Active Topics seems to work round that on subsilver2, though not on the mobile theme. Not that it matters or anything, I was just fiddling with it out of curiosity. I prefer it that way in fact because people that aren't dicks still say interesting stuff on threads started by dicks.

Some of those American personal injury adverts are just amazing. Ludicrous, and damaging to the reputation of lawyers (well, over here if it got to those levels, the states seemingly haven't given a toss about reputation all damage to the profession for quite some time), but still awesome. There's some guy who did a Super Bowl advert that goes on for two minutes and involves the lawyer smashing a gravestone with a burning sledgehammer to the tune of some delightful rock music.

EDIT: ("Casinos Way" - I think the video is called. It's crackers)

Is there a way of finding out if you have any foes listed? I don't think I do but genuinely cannot remember so am not sure if I have any posts I can't see.

I love that ad. The burning sledgehammer is genius. Unfortunately his follow-up ad was too knowing and much less inspired.

Did someone mention Ebola? Go check out the front page of the Lancet. Or if you can't be bothered, they've got a highly efficacious vaccine.

Soil pipe, I'd guess. We see plenty in the garden, but I don't think we've ever had them anywhere in the house before.

And before you ask, I didn't flush it, I managed to catch it and carry it down to the back garden.
