When I say "wendyhouse" it's not a little foldaway one - it's a two-story orange shed with windowboxes. They also knocked down half our garden so Cap'n caveman could park his van in his garden, but for some reason still parks said van at the top of our garden and leaves the radio on for the kids. (unless I'm heading intotown, then he parks it at the bus stop across the road so the bus has to go round and causes nothing but trouble.)
I've remained nice about this. I havn't killed anyone, burnt the orange sh1theap down or even kicked their hedge. But yesterday I got "OI!"ed at for putting a tent up in my garden
As if this moment - I am at war with next door's shed!
Fight orange with orange.....
agent orange...
Should make for some interesting grandchildren for the bastichs...
*sigh* Sadly for every good 'orange' there is its evil 'orange' I'd like to think the outrageous shed is not orange but a distressed red shed.
Orange is good, orange is our friend.

Well. Had my little chat with the neighbours*. That
could have gone better.
* chat = screaming and waving arms about.

That's because they have these special detectors that know when you're about to do a Leslie Grantham.

Then why's it never done it before, then?
Still wanting to punch MSN because it's just too damn unreliable

Without sounding too much like d00my, you tried Trillion? I used to use it. It's 100% more reliable. I've gone back to MSN though, as you can nudge people and I am that immature.

For everyday use I use Gaim on my Linux computer. Problem is, 3rd party MSN clients aren't very good with webcams (if indeed they support them at all), so when I want to have a cam conversation, I have to hop over to the laptop (since I'm an awkward bastard and don't run Windows on this one
).
Currently wanting to punch the concept of tiredness. Or myself if that'll wake me up

I used to use Trillian, but MSN seemed to have more features, and I didn't REALLY want to use my Yahoo or *shudder* AIM addresses anymore.

CWTP whichever of our cowardly neighbours thought complaining to the council was a better course of action than knocking on my door and asking me to turn the music down
i probably would have as well,even though i was celebrating the birth of my son at the time.

The general public. Although more accurately, I should punch myself for constantly getting into customer service roles where I have to deal with the scum.

Yes, I must say I can't really square the thought of you
serving other people alcohol...
I like to think of "The Public", as though I'm not one of them... really boosts those little delusions of grandeur that get me through the day
