A friend of mine has recently had through their door, a laminated note from the new owners of a house three doors away, inviting the neighbours around for a cup of tea to "discuss" ideas to make their house a "nicer family house".
The laminate has on it a photo of the two kids "hoping that mummy and daddy will get planning permission for a basement".
I don't live on this street, but this annoys me.
On a similar note, my parents last week had a letter from their next door neighbours about planned building work after the summer, yet they do not mention in the letter what the planned building work is for. They have now p1ssed off my father by 1) notifying immediate neighbours only by letter and 2) not stating the purpose of the intended building works.
This annoys me too. It sounds like the biggest load of absolute crap ever - using a method involving their children to veil what is probably a very aggresive attempt at gaining planning permission. They would probably go out of their way to do anything to get it and feel they are entirely entitled to it regardless of what anybody else thinks.

Eh? It's right there on the front page below the main stories, on a banner of country flags that then expands to show the current race. king ste.

People who come into a thread that has been the subject of heated debate and which has come to some modicum of consensus, and then post "I haven't read the thread, but..." and then throw in some ill-informed crap that amply underlines the fact that they have indeed not read any of the thread.

You're driving Prince about in a taxi? I'm quite surprised a man worth a reputed $250 million would quibble over a taxi fare but then again you don't get rich by giving money away I suppose.Taxi passengers who have prebooked a journey from point A to point B at an agreed price
