Who would you want as a neighbour?

[Arch]

Arch, if you lived next door to me, would you complain about loud music, or join in with it?
What i mean by join in with it, is would you rap/sing along to it and do some hip hop dance?
Im my mind, i think you would be amazing to have next door(if you did all the above)
Yenners i think would be the crazy man that would come out shouting stuff that didnt make sence.
Id have Karen next door to me though, she seems pretty nice.

I don't think I'd do either, really - I'd fulminate about you disturbing the peace, behind your back, but never have the guts to complain about it.

Although it depends what the music was - anything too modern I wouldn't 'get', anything 80's or 70's I might well sing along with.

On the other hand, I might practice my ukulele loudly to get back at you...

There's no choice for Dayvo or Longers, so Arch got it (cos she can bake).

I would have voted for loads of you if I could, but we'd have to live in a Kibutz (sp?)

The ukalale gets my vote! Music isnt normaly that bad,maybe not your style though. Would you knit me a fixed wheel bike and mascots for my bikes?

Had a really grumpy day but cheered up by the forum. All are cordially invited to come and live with me here. We could start up a Mountain bike guide center. I can do the children's biking and skiing but need people ho can diversify into proper ski instruction in the winter.

<bangs head on desk>

Look. I spelt ukulele for you. All you had to do was copy it...

<breathe>

Not sure about a whole bike, I suspect spoke tension and frame rigidity might be difficult. Mascots, I can do...

It's getting too close - time for the shameless attempts to win the swing voters. I bet you can't get Pied de Cochon Ste Menehould chez Yenners. And I've got a nice bike shed, with useful things in it. A neighbour of mine wouldn't need to buy one of those annoyingly specialised tools you need to install their Hollowtech II BB.

I reckon Yenners would be right into pigs Wait, let me re-phrase that..I think he'd enjoy all aspects of piggery....no, that's not right either...never mind.

Arch has broken loose from the restraints of the sty and is now ahead by several curly tails. It was hopeless, no-one can beat her in a pole (or a poll)...hmmm, I sense a poll challenge for someone...

Indeed. And I don't mind losing graciously to Arch. There's no way I'm going to learn to knit, even for the good folk of CycleChat. I can do cakes, but they're not really my forte.

However [low and sneaky attempt to steal the male hetero vote] it just happens that I have a whole gaggle of attractive young lesbians from Argentina and New Zealand visiting this summer. I can't really say why there should be so many lesbians under my roof at once - it's probably just a statistical anomaly. But my back garden is a sun trap. [/low and sneaky attempt...]

Why would that steal the vote of hetero males?

I am about as attracted to lesbians as they are likely are to be attracted to me.

Nice try, but Arch rules.

Joe's spelling has always left a lot to be desired. I voted for all of them as I am an easy going bloke and so long as they can get on with me thats OK.

I merely point out that in a sleepy Gower village where an excess of bottles in the recycling raises eyebrows, an aggregation of cosmopolitan young sunbathing lesbians is seen as something of an exotic event. You may not be excited, but the current neighbours will be beside themselves.

You'll be pleased to know, I have no plans to invite gaggles of lesbians to stay with me this summer. I don't have a garden anyway. And I don't know enough lesbians for a gaggle.

I do have a largish box of inherited bike tools though. And a wheel building jig. Although I don't know where the dishing tool went.

TheClaud, please, don't think of it as losing. I mean, it's all very well asking all thses folk who they want to live next door to, but no-one asked if we want to live next door to them!

(although, I'm fairly sure if you voted for me, or even for any of the others, I'd be delighted to live next door to you.)

Christ - I'm so self-absorbed that I forgot to vote. Consider it done!

Oh, I meant 'you' as in anyone reading the thread, but I'm glad I prompted you to your democratic duty...

 

[Night Train]

I voted for Arch.
Arch has a habit of looking out of her windows at the builders while they work (and while she procastinates) so she could be watching me as I scale my roof on the end of a rope ripping slates off and checking for rain. Arch would also get a good view of my helpful friend wearing his shorts!

 

[Crackle]

Lesbians to men in shorts - that would be a swing vote then?
