I have a stalker, I know who she is and she has been obsessed with me for well over a decade, but I find it amusing that she wastes so much of her time and energy obsessing about me.


Should I withdraw into the shadows, or let this sad creature continue to live vicariously through me??

So she'll be reading this then?


Which level of stalker is she, from one to five?


(Level 1 = mooning at you with sideways glances across a crowded pub)

(Level 5 = likelihood of you waking to discover you're gaffer-taped to a chair with a smell of petroleum spirit in the air)

I haven't got one.


I know they can be properly serious and terrifying, but still my month long run-in with an 8 stone weakling and his cuddly toys and roses and surprising turning ups at the pub makes me feel entirely inadequate.


Still Legal, I reckon you could take her...

Well, I had a stalker many years ago. I was only 16 and the psychopath stalked me for two long years. I found it to be a very intimidating and degrading experience. I would open my curtains in the morning and the controlling B-RSTARD would be there...outside, across the road looking up towards my bedsit. Then the creep would follow me to work...he would actually sit behind me on the bus. Then when I went out for lunch the pervert would appear from nowhere and follow me everywhere and then back to work. Come home time, him with the personality disorder would follow me home again. I used to try every trick in the book to get rid of this obsessive...e.g. I took to sprinting when on foot in the hope I would lose him, or I would race up/down stairs/escalators in the hope that he would get a heart attack. It even got to the stage where I would time making a mad dash across a fast flowing and exceedingly busy road in the hope that he would get knocked down. I never succeeded, but the murderous thoughts were there. Not nice I know, but that freak made my life hell.


For those reasons I do not find stalking remotely funny...but each to their own eh?

Lol, you could always follow them!


LM, sorry to hear you were seriously stalked when you were so young, the police didn't take things like that very seriously back then. I think things have moved on a lot since those times and if it were now you would be able to get him nicked quite easily (or set your hubby on him!). I wasn't trying to be insensitive, but there are different levels of stalking, and the person who is obsessed with me isn't a threat, she is just annoying. It's still weird obsessive behaviour but not on the same level as you went through. Hope I haven't brought back any nightmares xx

No worries LE. I wasn't actually looking for any sympathy, but simply felt a strong urge to make the point that I simply do not (cannot) find stalkers/stalking funny. Sorry. xx

My stalker was one of the first to be prosecuted under the new stalking laws. Stalker made the big mistake of sending someone to my house, in the guise of a police officer, with fake police ID, in order to "question" me about various matters - i.e. get some information out of me. In the eyes of the police this elevated the crime to a whole new level. "Impersonating a police officer" is something that really pisses the police off. Anyway, long story short, they both got prosecuted and ended up with criminal records. Result.

      Penalty charge Turney road junction

      By ianr · Posted

      There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.

      Advice welcomed - potential dog kennel hill estate flat purchase

      I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.

      Bike handlebars (cables are cut) now on Shawbury Road. Is this yours?

      By NeighbourAlex · Posted

      Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
