We are the middle house of a row of three, and we back onto the back of another three.
In the summer we get together and have the occasional barbeque and beers. We watched some world cup games in the garden of the people directly across from us - he opened his patio doors and put his telly there and we all sat in the garden drinking beers from a chiller and watching the WC. Fantastic!
Unfortuneately there's a young single guy next door to us and he's an ignorant arsehole. He has all-night parties with music that can best be described as 'laughable'. A couple of weeks ago he had someone in playing the bagpipes at 2am. There really is nothing you can do, so I don't even bother chinnning him. At the end of the day you have to live in your house and it's best not to risk a fued with a moron. He is such a choob he lied about being the manager in the job he recently got - another neighbour works for the same employer in a different dept. and told us he was a mere kitchen hand. But why lie, unless you are a moron?
