Don't know either of mine. Just moved in.
Don't really care either.
So long as they're not druggies or idiots holding big parties all the time, I'm happy.

Move into a unit and didn't see the neigbour/s from the adjoining unit for the first few weeks. Being recently separated I was hoping the neighbour would be a fun loving lady who didn't mind the odd missionary. True to form though, the neighbours turned out to be 2 Mormon missonaries from the States.

Enough to say hello.

I don't feel comfortable, getting too close to my neighbours.

But they are really good people.

The Guy accross the road is a sparkey and re - wired my house for nix...

The guy alongside me looks after my place,

when I am at work and rings me when something is wrong.

And Visa - Versa..... :D

The Chinease people I have said to call my name when they are in need and I will be there...!

NO NEIGHBOUR FROM HELL HERE...!

The rear neighbour makes me Italian Coffee....
Smile :)

It's only Money $$$ :)

Haha. I'm lucky I live on the good side of town, so it's pretty unlikely to happen.

LMAO!

Don't really know any of my neighbours in our apartment complex beyond a polite 'hello'.

Except for the bloke downstairs who speaks broken english that I translate for when he has to call the real estate agent, plumber, electrician etc.

But my mates literally live across the street. We often have a chat out the window and beers on the stoop. It's like Brooklyn, baby!

Old Italian lady on one side with her son's living next door to her. Don't think she speaks fluent english, but am always polite on the rare times we see each other. On the other side a young couple who we never see or hear. Behind us a young Italian family, two sons who's soccer balls, footy, tennis balls are always flying over the fence, but which I promptly return to them. Their old man is always cursing at them. Then there's the lady across the road who's always watering her lawn (never mind the drought :roll: ) and keeping a watchful eye on everyone's movements from between the shades of her front window.

I reported my 'across the road neighbour' to the water police and he has now resorted to watering under the cover of darkness,sometimes at 3 in the morning,the sound of running water at this time ensures a visit to the facilities.

To the left- Feral kids who spend all day and night playing on the road,civil with the parents is as far as it goes.
To the right- Old Polish maths teacher and his wife who spend 6 months of the year chasing the sun on the QLD coast.
Across the road-nosy old women X 3
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

I reckon she'd have to have a permit (she'd be about 60) in order to be so brazen with the hose. Still sh*ts me though.

In a new area, get on well with family to the left, young kids who play together and we drink together, on the right we have a empty block which just went up for sale for the second time this year today :evil: we cant put our fence up all the way until they start building which is now going to be months away...FFS

We are in a no thru road, circuit type grove which is great with young kids as they can ride their bikes and muck around with minimal traffic therefore little supervision all pretty much young families which is great also

We live in a shop which stands alone but out the front of a group of three appartments. One guy is real nosy old bloke and loves to stand in the driveway that goes past our shop while smoking and talking about such rivetting topics as the weather. He sometimes has interesting news about the area, for example, the night somebody smashed the windows of all the cars around here...except his! One family is constantly going back and forth past our shop, their mum lives about 1 minute away and sometimes they all return home in their pyjamas. There is also a mysterious Chinese man who wanders out at late hours and hangs around the front of the block for brief periods, sometimes a car will pull up and he'll meet with the occupants for a little and then they part ways again. There is another guy who is fortunate enough to have a parking space within the block, he sometimes has "encounters" with other people who also need to use the driveway, but he is sort of a nice bloke usually.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

After last night, dunno if I ever wanna get to know my neighbours?

Crazy b!tches had a huge blow-up in the stairwell at one o'clock in the morning over loud music.

Though it was quite funny to listen to...
