    My neighbours leave their bins in the wrong place. And I am too afraid to ask them to move them.

    With the news that Abu Dhabi has given Dubai $10billion to help get it out of the tulipe, linky, I wondered if anyone else had any generous neighbours.

    We have always remained curtious to them however, to give some examples of how they are a pain in the arse, they have:

    asked to borrow money from me on more than one occasion (I found out later that on one occasion they had borrowed it from the 80 year old couple on the other side of mine),

    asked me to pay for their holiday on my credit card since they cannot get one (they have money problems and at the time - I was a permie at the time),

    asked if they can come in and watch eastenders on my telly as theirs is broken (I don't even watch that pile of tulipe - I did lend them a portable though),

    asked to use our shower as their bathroom was being redecorated (now I don't mind someone who is desperate using the toilet, but the ******* shower - go to the gym/ swimming baths if desperate),

    bring our washing in if it is raining (I do not return this favour, and find it rude, I would rather my washing get wet),

    quizzed me about planning permission for my double garage when I built it (he is thick as pigtulip and wouldn't know which way to hold a hammer yet because he has watched homes under the hammer he is a building expert - no planning needed by the way)

    and loads more.

    Or is it me, am I being a miserable bugger?

    On the other side though we have an 80 year old couple who are just great, at 80-ish he regularly cuts his hedges back by climbing on the garage roof, although he did fall off earlier this year, and his wife is just lovely. I hope i'm like that when i'm older. Freindly, but not intrusive.

    Maybe the people who moved out from the place you moved in were such terrible neighbours that you've benefited from it ...
