    Could you not practise your oompah band outside his door when he's trying to watch TV..? ;)

    I've got some new curtain poles and a couple of pictures that need to go up. So revenge will be mine.

    I;m tempted to play some very cheesy music very loud whilst I go out for a walk!":rolleyes:
  • I`d do it just for the hell of it! I live in a small block with just the 4 flats & the bloke upstairs next door (who`s v weird) plays the same song over & over again sometimes!

    I just got two letters, both off Halifax. One about the bank charges case being lost and another one, which was my credit card bill. Both delivered on the same day, by the same person, sat on top of each other on the downstairs table. I opened the bank charges one first then the credit card bill. And my credit card bill stinks of cigs. There's no smell on the other letter so it must be inside the envelope. Someone was smoking when they sealed the letter. No offence to smokers but it smells disgusting. :mad:

    I hate my computer, it keeps overheating and switching itself off while I'm trying to do OU work. Why oh why did I choose a course that's all done on dvd rom instead of books?!

    The joys of living in an apartment builing, my neighbour is doing more bleeping diy and door slaming!

    I shall take deep breaths and calm down!

    My commiserations. My neighbour beneath me has young children and they seem to think it's ok to be noisy at 11pm plus at night :eek: Usually it doesn't bother me but I was a little narked so I might have to have a word soon.

    Not much going on today. Did food shopping and need to collect my bike from the shop and have a few other plans which are fading away rapidly as the 'can't be bothered' feeling takes hold. I'll have (another) coffee and see if I can shift myself from the computer :cool:

    Give it more ventilation. Is it a laptop?

    I'd try something 1970's and very cheesy - Brotherhood of Man or something like. My ex-neighbour used to put cheesy 70's records on and blast it into the garden everytime there was a sunny day.

    I've been on a date today and on another (different one) tomorrow. A saying about buses springs to mind. He told me that I looked a bit of a plain jane in my photo and much better in real life. Maybe I can get a 3d photo and provide everyone with 3D glasses!

    Maybe you can have the satisfaction of knowing your's was the last bill posted out before the building burnt down!

    It smells like roll-ups. Maybe crazy Katie upstairs was smoking near it. Doesn't explain why it isn't on my other letter though. Strange...
