Near me, there is an unemployed 50 year old woman (never done a days work in her life) she lives with her retired parents, thinks shes lives in a wildlife rescue centre, feeds seagulls, pigeons and rats, has multiple dogs and cats. when tree surgeons have been in the past she comes rushing out to tell them they are killing birds as they live in the trees?!
Her personal style is based on Grotbags, very well to do parents, they seriously dropped the ball on the child-rearing though.
Could she be autistic?

Good conjecture Alex, plausible too, but I wouldn’t have had the moxie to do that, least of all with a barman in a bar down the street from Châtelet metro station, in the First arrondissement.
Now you're just place-name dropping Frank. smile

Next thing you'll be reeling off all the three-letter ID codes of airports of the world.

Love the margarita story. thumbup
From the Broke Backpacker site, and also my personal observation.
There are no ‘no-go’ areas in Paris, but… – the northern suburbs, the area around Gare du Nord, and Pigalle, Chatelet and Les Halles CAN BE pretty dodgy at night.

Beers brewed to this strength are horrible in my opinion. Stronger than barley wine. You can taste the alcohol in them, and that's not what beer is all about. As you say, it suits the 'look at me, I can take it' types.

Sounds like one of my neighbours - Thankfully I don't live directly next door though...

I would have walked out after the first argument. I'm convinced he gets off on it, as there is no other reason for putting up with her behaviour.

Bingate: someone has dumped a bag of grass cuttings and some branches in my general waste bin. I only know the neighbours either side and the old granny downstairs. Neither have been gardening.

I don't particularly mind. I just find it a bit odd to do so without a little knock on the door to ask!

7am, windows wide open, Adele playing at high volume.

Is that odd or just obnoxious?

Just checking the cctv after their last big bust up early Monday morning (a work night, so thanks for that ....) to see her b/f driving off, with her chasing him and kicking his door, wearing nothing but her granny pants eek No pics I'm afraid, due to legal proceedings ...

obnoxious at any time of the day.

Have a day out with me, wandering around a housing estate. in this weather there are a variety of mainly garage/rap/rnb/rave toons- banging out of multiple house windows all day long.

mainly TV sound bars, hanging out of the lounge windows.

and yes, council do drag their sofas out and stick them on the 4' high grass to enjoy the weather.

Hope this is up to standard for this thread.

I help the bin chaps out by putting my (three every two weeks) bin bags out in front of the terraced houses next door to mine (mine is detached and the other side of my wall is a bus stop, making it a bit of a quiz for the bin fellas to stop and get my bins).

Mine are out first as I do it on the way to work/boogying, and I’ve noticed that if they pick them up later and I’m in, bins from the terraced houses have been placed next to mine.

This angers one chap who moves mine six feet away from the communal and bespoke bin bag area.

Why?

I think a day out with you would be more than interesting. It should be auctioned off as a prize

The sun certainly brings out the best in them.

What's also great is that as each summer arrives technology progresses and now we have several neighbours, early Adele included, who like to sit in the garden (or bizarrely on their 3rd floor windowsill) shouting "Alexa.... Alexa..... Alexa.... turn volume up.... Alexa....."

Let's not forget the constant blatant weed smoking while sat in the front garden, the smell of which often wafts in to my house. And the occasional visit by social services...

I'd prefer the smell of weed to tobacco...
