Fair enough. By the 80s it was just full of dog shit.

In all seriousness, you are for the most part right. BUT, if people are blasting out music (and I don't know that they were, this is a hypothetical), then people living in the houses overlookng the green could have a genuine gripe.

OP was complaining about smugness, not noise

ianr: "Why have you posted this? What do you actually want to say?"

What they want to say as that Louisa has once again tried to stir things up and they are just commending her on her work.

[Otta]

"You have to live with smugness round here - but must they gather and use an amplifier on the once peaceful open space?"

Seemed to me that the actual gripe was noise related.

[StraferJack]

noise does get mentioned, but they seem more bothered by people having fun - hence the "ho ho" title and endless "smug" comments

If someone was annoying me with noise I wouldn't be calling them smug

[cle]

I missed the amplifier bit, fair enough. But yes, it did seem a more pointed social jibe than a pure noise complaint.

I'm complimenting her on her wind-up skills.

[Otta]

Which I have to say, seemed pretty obvious.

I hate it when that happens.

[Jah Lush]

Does it happen to you a lot?

[KidKruger]

It's a bugger picking the cornflakes out.

[eastdulwichhenry]

What does "curl one out" mean?

[Otta]

Do a poo.

[Louisa]

I always avoided coco pops for good reason.

Louisa.

Do the people in goose green and the rest of the Falklands pay tax ? They should pay more than us or be Argentinean
