Re: The blabla of the forum
Am listening to the Alan Bennet ‘Talking Heads’ monologues on audio. Simply wonderful, funny, heartfelt depictions of the joys of Englishness in the latter 20th century. One I really enjoyed was about a vicars wife who was an alcoholic and had to go into Leeds to buy her booze. She ended up having an affair with the shop keeper & they have sex in the back of the shop using bags of lentils as a bed, marvellous stuff. Well worth a listen.

That story about the vicars wife, I believe I watched a version of that on BBC possibly 3 or 4 years ago, caught it halfway though and took me a while to work out what it was about. Trying to remember who played the wife.NottinghamWhite wrote:Am listening to the Alan Bennet ‘Talking Heads’ monologues on audio.

Re: The blabla of the forum
End of first week of house sale. 10 viewers and three offers. Hoping to find a buyer with no chain. Two possibilities. Interesting day today, three viewers. A French couple, an Asian couple and a Chinese couple. The Chinese lady was fluent in English but her husband wasn't. He asked questions in Chinese and she interpreted in English and then gave him the answer in Chinese. Don't know enough about Chinese to know if it was Mandarin or Cantonese. The Asian couple have a house but they are not going to sell, they are going to rent it out. Looks like the beginnings of a property empire! Still, it gives us the flexibility of being able to sort the move out quickly.

I have to smile we have a neighbour who must sit waiting for the bin men to come and as they approach he runs out with his empty bottles so no one can see what’s in his bags. It in my eyes is really pathetic

Re: The blabla of the forum
We had a older couple (no longer with us) who didn't like to get their bins dirty and collected all their rubbish in carrier bags. During the night prior to collection day once everyone had put their bins out they would sneak and put their rubbish in any that had roomChilwellWhite wrote:I have to smile we have a neighbour who must sit waiting for the bin men to come and as they approach he runs out with his empty bottles so no one can see what’s in his bags.

Re: The blabla of the forum
We have a couple who go out for a walk every day, separately & at least once a day they take a bag of rubbish & put it in the bin at the local park. Not sure if they actually put their bin out if I’m honest. There’s some funny folk around.
