Overcrowding Rife in City

There must be four or five people I have seen leaving or entering the flat across from me. Scarlett confirms this.

There is the obvious couple "Chunky Munky" - Says hello sometimes
and "Lady Dunky" - Smiles but is silent (like Mr Eko in lost) (but without the stick) (and the killing)

"Tamil Tiger Terri" - No expression - says hello (bad taste in clothes)
"Tipi Toe Vinny" - Very quite (and skinny)
"Kiss and Greet Pete" - Too touchy feelly

It is a two bedroom flat at best.

Maybe there is something going on there.

I will report back.

Hollywood Comes to Liverpool

I bumped into the lady who lives upstairs last night. She was running up the stairs in her dressing gown as I got back from a fancy dress party. I went in normal clothes and looked dull. I introduced myself and as did she. We chatted and I said it wold be nice to get a look at her flat as I am looking for idea for decor etc. She agreed. Scarlett is an actress! She was practicing her lines which were on the coffee table in her living room. She is very nice. Finally there is someone with whom i can stike up a Joey and Monica type relationship with were I can eat her food and have coffee/drinks with at The White Bar on Old Hall Street.

Was fun.

PS The door mat is back and Scarlett is the one who returned it! She said she was looking after it as she did not know who it belonged to. I believe her.

7/10 Liverpool Women Say the Wrong Name

The Office Junior came to me today. He has a problem. His lady said the wrong name when they were.. you know...with the...and the...
Anyway I couldnt belive it, after the initial shock I was thinking about the intonation she used.

John (screaming) - not all bad
John? (question) - (why wouldnt she be sure who it was?) Bad
Oh John ( like you would say shaking head in disappointment) - Very bad

In thinking about how she said it I stopped listening. I dont know how things turned out.

This week I placed and order for sofa's. Sitting on camping charis is fun for a while. But it is a short term solution to a long term problem.

Mystery Chair Appearance Baffles Residents

There is a chair in the hallway at the bottom of the sexy flight of stairs. It isnt propping a door open. It is just there.
It has been for a few days now.
It is kind of scary.
I dont know why.
It just is.

City Welcomes New Apartments

I have my new flat (with crisp plasterwork) and now I have new people to bump into. While the Editor was moving my stuff into the place we bumped into in young lass from the flat above. She wasnt wearing very much and she was drunk and lound. But she seemed quite pleasant. We shared a few words which means that I know her better than anyone form the last building.

This week I learnt that she throws one hell of a party through to the early hours of a school night and that spills over into our courtyard. I also learnt that the guy across the courtyard is Irish and uses the word "bastard" a lot when he is angy/grumpy/woken in the early hours/sleepy.

I wasnt bothered. I have no bed so it is not like I was getting a decent night sleep anyway.

This week Ikea will be delivering a bed.
