    No need, the Jones family are only moving a couple of doors away. This could run and run.

    I forgot that part, perhaps we will have a post in the future from the Jones asking about antisocial neighboors and the impact it has had on the value of their house.

    They will also have the embarrassing social situation of when the Clampets decide to invite the nice Jones around for a dinner party

    no when we exchanged the date was changed for completion, hence we have been living out of boxes and coffins this week.

    I still think Billy Bob was a little upset he left the playing cards in the coffin as he commented last night that he fancied a game of poker and then started to try and cuddle my wife. I wonder if he meant poker of poke her?:eek:

    We said goodbye to Billy-Bob this morning. He crashed on the sofa last night drunk as anything (imagine Brian Blessed in leather) but Mrs J couldnt help but snigger at him on the DFS sofa this morning in his white M&S pants complete with his morning glory blissfully unaware as he was snoring. She felt the need to come up to the bedroom and get me to come and have a look to which I reminded her that I am not into looking at other men's bits.

    Sorry but this made me and Kai laugh the most!
