Negative nancy I spent a week in Norfolk last week and now I want to move there. To be fair I usually want to move to wherever I've just come back from...except Somerset, I didn't much like it there... but this one seems possible...Mike wouldn't have to move jobs, we've looked up commuting possibilities and, alright, it does add 50 minutes to his journey in both directions but he says he's willing to do it... the rent we're paying now for a run down flat, badly in need of new windows, new plumbing, a whole re-wire and redecoration we could get a spacious 3 bedroom house with a garden in a nice village and our council tax would be lower to boot! instead of being kept awake by bright street lights, cars whizzing past us (we are on the high street!) and our neighbours, we could have fresh air and quiet. currently we have on on one side of us, a family with 3 children, and you either get screaming kids running and thumping around, crying children because the mum only seems to know how to yell at them and tell them to "get the fuck out of her sight" or you hear the parents having very loud obnoxious porno-style sex...don't get me wrong, the first time it was entertaining being woken up at 3am and hearing "oh yeah, fuck yeah, oh yeah, fuck yeah" over and over and over as their headboard slammed against our wall repeatedly but when it happens every night for a month you sort of want to castrate them! the other side there's a group of maybe 7 or 8 eastern- european guys who don't speak a word of English and stay up all night listening to very repetative dance music...the sort that only seems to have one base line that thumps against our wall repeatedly...this happens most days and will last an average of 10-12 hours...they also have a lovely habit of dumping their bin bags in the alleyway right by my drive-way, and as they're too stupid to put it out the night before the bin-men come, or to even use one of the plastic wheely bins, the foxes usually come along and rip the bags open and spread their rubbish all over my drive-way... such a pleasant way to live... I want to move!!!!!!!!!!! Negative nancy |
