He was about 60... thick glasses, quite the recluse. Thought he might be a old army dude gone mad or something. Nothing about him was normal.
Shit like this - I can cope. But I worry about young women from overseas and such who have to deal with this shit... Makes me want to impose laws on private letting... and freaks. Ban freaks. All of them. Lock the fuckers up...
Freaks.

I think you get too angry with the world sometimes moth, fair enough this guy sounds like a possible freak and there's no way I'd go giving info just to see a place, that kind of shit just gets my back up straight off, even if it was a hot chick asking she's get the finger.. No need to get all Blunkett about it though, thats how they want you to think.

I do get pissed off. People bother me. I used to be peaceful... but too many folk roll on their backs sometimes and submit to whatever. They bother me too because this is why people like that haven't been cut down to size before I encounter them.

Don't worry I'll have a cup of tea now and shut up.

Maybe it's purely harmless, and he's collating observational material for purely academic purposes. Maybe it makes him feel connected to a an alienating world. Maybe it's his way of coping with his inability to function socially for 60 years of his worthless life. Maybe deep down he's a pleasant man who really isn't out to hurt anyone. Just a surveillance hobbyist?

hehe.. I'm actually on a mission to make shop staff more polite, whenever someone in a supermarket, newsagents or anywhere actually doesn't say 'please' or 'thank you' (the miserable grunters we all know) I am purposefully overpolite "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" and wait for acknowledgement, on particularly bad days I have actually left stuff on the counter and walked out, informing them of their lost custom due to bad manners..
CAHNTS!!

Well rasko... when I was a lad, I used to work in scummerfield supermarket. I was under the impression that they didn't pay me enough to be polite, let alone appear "cheerful". Just as long as you don't tell them to "smile", because that used to really used goad me into ripping the customers balls off.

poor moth still no joy? don't ban the freaks tho, "yo the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, and what might be right for you, might not be right for so-ome..."
heh rasko, my dad does that overpolite response to rudeness, john cleese style, much better for your stomach ulcers than getting wound up. still, i'm sure the service industries have to deal with rude cahnts all day too... if you get a polite one make sure you tell them you appreciate them!

Do you say "bless you" when someone sneezes rasko? I think I am about the only one left to do so....
then again there aren't many who still say "thank you kindly squire" either...

What about thank you kindly old chap?
My mates don't wear armour any more....

Moth, haven't read all the posts so do not know if this has been mentioned, buuuut... don't you have a clause in ya contract that states the landlord can only move you out past 6 months?
Just a thought....
- rasko40
actually I use 'squire' and 'old boy' quite regularly.. seriously. Also, 'Flaneur', 'Carouse' and 'Dandy'
*realises sadness level overload
- ********0
"squire" I picked up 10 years ago or so... "old boy" is reserved for my dad though....
quaint innit?
- rasko40
its certainly is, I also like 'raconteur' and 'incorrigable rogueishness'
- ********0
Well my g/f had been there 2 years and I moved in... So I can't really complain as I have no contract with the landlord. He gave her fair notice.. :|

Good to know I'm not the only one who took the piss outta my "Englishness" with friends
only find it actually stuck. Mostly happens when we're drinking sherry (Sherry? Sherry.) or real ale in vast quantities....

Squire! SQUIRE!
:http://www.determinedmoth.org/i...Still from a short film I once made... People needed Squires to help them into these things. They're fucking heavy. We hired it from the guys who did braveheart.
