Love thy neighbour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

People know me in this neighbourhood. Thanks to the kids and the school many people know me from there. They also know me as one who doesn't take anyones s**t or that of anyones kids and if parents aren't watching their kids get up to no good, well then you have me telling the kids the law....

Most greet me and I them in the polite way but if they don't they can just fuckoff and no need looking in my direction again. Funny enough no-one has ever started grief with me! Lucky them!

So yeah I'm a friendly neighbour that does her own thing!
it's all about circles and spirals

I nod, sometimes I happily chat to a few folk... The people over the road are tossers and always park their car over my driveway so I can't back out properly - they are deliberately nasty, which I think is pathetic and sad. Even their little 'uns are mean. scary.

when i lived in uppingham (which is a village/small market town) everyone was refreshingly friendly and pleasant; this quickly turned out to be only a small consolation for the two-faced smalltown-england-mindedness of a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. now i'm back in the city total strangers only tend to acknowledge you if the'yre after something (spare change directions or a fight) or if they're mad/both.

my actual neighbours now have started to say hello and smile, though they probably wouldn't have if i hadn't first; but it's always reassuring to know that the music wasn't too loud last night, and you never know when yu might run out os sugar. :lol:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
