if ever I'm in Starbucks and I've got the boy with me, I get him to make up a name when they ask for it. I reckon the staff must love having to write things like Azog the Defiler, or Dumb Dumbhead on the cup MacCafferty McCoffeeface MaGee? |

I'm a Starbucks man through and through. Costa is awful. Lympics last night. That horse in the rain went on for ages. I'll take my top off. Sorry I'm rambling. Last time I was in Paris I saw a madman jump in the river. He was quite literally in seine. In the river seine. I went to Egypt and saw someone fall into the river. He refused to admit what had happened though. He was in denial. |

I watched all four episodes of the Jetty, so you don't have to.
Truly, truly awful

I do not regret this.

What are your relations with your neighbours like? Your immediate neighbours.
If some new neighbours moved in next door would you go round and introduce yourself / selves?
We have had some new neighbours move in next door. We have not introduced ourselves. I am aware that we have a tree overhanging their garden.
I opened one of the windows before while one of the neighbours was hanging out washing. I noticed her turning away, having looked to see what the noise was. I thought … perhaps … there was something of antipathy - in the movement. I’m wondering if we maybe should have introduced ourselves at some point.
I don’t know.

So? What was the outcome who killed the lassie and who killed the podcaster? The ending was so stupid I laughed out loud. I can't remember how to hide spoilers, so read ar your own peril The girl back in the day was killed by the cop. The main character. She was driving while drunk, high, under age and without a license, and accidentally hit the other girl. It wasn't clear if she'd forgotten, or didn't realise at the time what she'd done. The nonce husband and his mate (who was only in a couple of scenes, and it wasn't ever explained who he was) hid the body under the floorboards in the boathouse. For some reason I guess it didn't smell while decomposing, or maybe it did but no one noticed. Anyway the podcaster found out something and so went to confront the paedos mate, so he killed her. After telling the cop what happened, he then set himself on fire for some reason. The main character then confesses to the ginger girl who was mates with the one who got killed, but then told the police it was the paedos mate who done it. It was also implied that the coppers mum new what had happened, but that wasn't really made clear. So she gets away with it, and the dead nonce husband gets away with it. It ends with the copper saying that her paedo husband was kind and generous, and you dont find out who impregnated the school girl, beyond the main character basically saying it's the fault of all men. There's a voice over narrative basically saying that even though all men are monsters, there's still hope for a better future |

Surely no one introduced themselves to their neighbours?

Also if they are the ones who have just moved in, surely the onus is on them to introduce themselves?

[EDIT] I observe that Faceless has beaten me to the obvious conclusion.

I've been in my current place for about a year. There are 12 flats in this block. I've had one brief conversation with my downstairs neighbour about a month after I moved in, and said hello to him in the car park a few weeks ago. I had one conversation with the old lady who lives the other side of me, when she rang my buzzer (not a euphemism) to say the gutter was leaking (also not a euphemism). There's a woman who I regularly see and say hello to, but who does her best to avoid me. Then randomly I saw her in a pub a few months ago and she was very loud and over the top. She hasn't spoken to me since. As for the other 8 flats, I've no idea who lives there

A polite nod with maybe a "morning"/"afternoon" is all that is needed

Our neighbours have a different approach to leaving their flat than we do. They go through the garden and out the gate, whereas we go through the front door and through the building. It means our paths don’t really cross.
Maybe our front door is actually our back door?
The people who previously lived next door also used to use the garden route. I think maybe the owner / landlord passes on a deranged world view. Back becomes front. A world turned upside down.

It would have been nice to have had a GB football team at the Olympics. We could have fielded one.

You should introduce yourself, it's what most normal people do. Don’t you live in ‘The North’ though? I think the social norms differ between the North and London. It's perhaps a London Vs Rest of the country thing. I would definitely just say hello though, otherwise it will be real awkward every time you bump into them. |

FA, SFA etc. Dinner: The child is at a sleepover. We went to a pub in Busby for food. I had lasagne & chips, the PM had fish & chips. I had a pint of Gamma Ray, the PM had a pint of fresh orange & lemonade. It was all very nice. |

Faceless, thanks you for that synopsis.
The PMs face was a picture when I revealed the killer.
Neighbours. We're in a semi (easy Tuffers) in a cul-de-sac. I kind of talk to the women through the wall, The man and women on the other side who share a fence we talk to, but I try to avoid as his wife is a racist idiot. Rest of the street is mixed, talk to some, not others. There's an anti-vax nutter, jooked. Two doors up the youngest is friends with mine and they're decent folks. The alpha-male builder type with the yappy dug I nod to, but he's a cunt, his wife is a weirdo. Rest get a nod.
