I see the thread was locked, flagged down it appears, seems all tidied up now, thanks Azz.
I’m glad I missed whatever caused that, I like the easy life too much, no time for silly argument or hassle, so I’ll take this opportunity to politely ask you scribblers wot need asking to remember the forum rules please, thank you.
There’s a retired army officer living down the road from me, he never married and lives with his two brothers, they’re all in their 60’s and a crankier trio you couldn’t meet in a month of Sundays, they wouldn’t bid you the time of day.
Every time the local kids go out to kick a football he’s out the door like a light to grab the ball or roar at them to clear off, they hate kids.
A next door neighbour of his was having a bit of a do in the house for his wife’s 65th birthday last Friday night, there were about 30 people attending mostly old folks.
They were all enjoying themselves dancing and singing, he and his two brothers had been given plenty of notice of the event, they were asked to the do but refused the invitation.
At 10pm on the dot he banged at the neighbours door and ordered them to stop the music and singing or he would call the guards, they stopped, most of them are scared of this ugly brute and his brothers.
By the way the law here says you can play music up to 12 midnight, but no later.
The woman who’s birthday it was was telling the wife all this today, she also said that she and her husband would love a little dog but the last pup they got they had to give away because this fella was complaining about the dog barking, cranky old shite that he is, all pups bark until they settle in, several cats have mysteriously vanished on the street since the brothers moved in four years ago, and I needn’t tell you where the suspicious fingers are pointing, they have openly declared that they can’t stand cats. I can see this ending bad.
Maybe he should heed the words of Confucius:
“When you get a message in a bottle,
And you don’t live near the sea
And it comes through the window
Then it’s time to flee.”
