  1. Its the local traders who bleat loudest about restrictions being enforced and efectivley ensure that your bus is delayed day after day after day...
  2. haha I read about this Egypt/ Thailand petrol station thing on here. so I went down to the station in question and filled up - usisng an utterly spanking, clean brand new unused card just to see what would happen one week later, the CC company called me at the office to aske whether I I tried to buy ?2K worht of Gold Jewellry in bangkok the day before and then cancelled the card when I said I hadnt . coincidence ? Oh yes, I had another one done that seemed to eminate from an establishment on LL - one that is never less than revered on this forum - I have not mentioned its name, but If I did, I would be hunted down , tarred n feathered and left on GG roundabout for the foxes to gnaw at my body Retailers - all they want is your money

This is a better option than having to move flat yourself - lets start a forum section where we can nominate the neighbours we dont like and in a " I'll scratch your back / you scratch mine " symbiotic arrangement, we can report each other neighbours without the guilt of actually knowing that we personally made the calls that got next doors kids taken into to care
  8. Kids do make a noise and often at the most inopportune times =- but usuallay, their parent/s really dont want the hassle either and unlikely to be making noise on purpose - you cant shut a kid up unless he/she eants to shut up sadly, although a suggestion for your neighbours to attend parenting classes may get a hostile response converted flats are usually very bad news noise wise - i got used to mine, but it was only when I got a house did I realise how bad it used to be - and most of the noise isnt designed to personally irk you, its just the way it goes - high turnover of tenents/ owners, rubbish landlording , cheap conversions and lack of proper lease caveats being present or enforced with regard to floor coverings is behind it all. unless you move, sadly it will always be at the back of your mind and you will hear literally everything as time goes on & you become attuned to what once seemed harmless background noises
  9. hahaha I do love a good slag off/ praise thread with a hidden agenda But how do we know the first post is for real ? it may be a John le carre inspired double bluff to gain some publicity rather than the proprietor of Kittiwake crafts trying to defeat his lifelong sworn enemy tsk I cant keep up with the goings on in this forum, I really cant
  10. I did for as long as I could and Ive turned out to be a fine upstanding fellow - albeit now with a propensity to pull sickies at the first sign of a sniff

  18. Biofuel = BioFool in most cases Another display of how selfish and shortsighted American Policy is screwing up the rest of the world Good work Americans !
  19. hahaha. What a morla dilemma 1) Good ting - the removal of this ghastly emporium is another means to keep the great unwashed from the newly gentrified streets of ED 2) Bad ting - another wine bar will add to congestion and noise late at nights for the newly gentrified ED Rock / Hard place. At least its not going to be a betting shop some might say.
  20. I hjave never felt that way. oddly enuogh - I may come across as a suspicious old curmudgeon, but its not actually the case that I am suspicious about everything - I am a firm believer in the school of "no such thing as a free lunch" , but not on a personal / relationhsip level so what salacious bits of evidence have you found then Chav ?
