Yes indeed, and one of the main reasons I don't go there.


Mind you, there are often about 200 adults in a trance state too.

Did I mention the people on my road (owner-occupiers) who insist on filling every window of their many-windowed house with crappy, universally broken, dirty net curtains, which are always drawn (in a broken kind of way)?


If they ever see it from the outside, they must realise how crappola it looks to all the neighbours and passers by, and if they never come out they must be seeing their entire world through those ghastly filters 24/7.

Sainbury's is the new Valium. That's why parents go there: it absolves them of all responsibility for the antics of their 'he's got ADHD' kids.

Shrieking women. If there's anything liable to make me go out and buy a shotgun, it's shrieking women. You know, the ones that shriek and scream for 3-4-5-6 hours when drunk, shriek for four days 24/7 in the tent next to yours etc. Have they got a birth defect or defective gene or summat?

the words grumpy and old come to mind.......

Weedy&/or obsequious men. I HATE them. Grow a pair, please!


Example - *** seriously winds me up - he has his head so far firmly wedged up ***'s anus it actually makes me feel nauseous to watch them together...*** And apparently he's always in the doghouse with his parnter for something ridiculous like burning the toast.


EDIT: Stars replace incriminating evidence because they read the forum :-$

I second this! Along with intolerance of others.... especially others that are "different" to yourself. Prejudicial generalisations!!

eughhhh another reason for my cycle to stay in the cellar!


Binary - I used to work pretty much in an all male office and I have never seen so much embarrassing fawning in my life. I have an insight in to the all boys public school world, there is a definite hierarchy...

Yes it's sad to watch, all that back-slapping and false smiling at the jolly good ribbings they get from each other, oh and how they fake laugh at it all...bleugh! Actually I'm thinking of starting a comic strip about it for cathartic purposes.

People who make stupid/erroneous/embarrassing statements based on flawed logic or their own opinion rather than fact. I am constantly amazed by how many people who do this, knowing full well that their claims cannot be substantiated, or even worse can be clearly and publicly refuted by known facts. My gripe at the moment (apart from spurious claims about what percentage of the population has below average income) is ignorant statements about cyclists. They normally include something about jumping red lights, cycling on pavements and/or not paying road taxes/wearing lycra/hugging trees/killing kittens and puppies. Why don't people arm themselves with the FACTS first before spurting out drivel they know nothing about??? Grr...

I don't think opinions can be wrong. 'I think the Pope should be shot' is an opinion and is as valid as any other opinion.


I think the problem lies with (a) an inability to distinguish fact from fantasy, and fact from opinion, and (b) a complete absence of logic, both of which are subsets of a complete lack of general education.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
