I have such nice neighbours a Fijian Indian family (Musleims) on my right they are soo nice tonight they brought me over my dinner they do it now and then marinated chops,sheske barbs,steak BBQ (Halael meat very nice) sometimes I even get lunch the boys Nana next door even makes home made cherparties they are lick a thin Nan bread had three of those tonight plus chicken fried rice.His nan made me lucnch cause I went up and got her milk for her shes not to well.The other day I even got invited next door and Dhisharns Nan made some special tea for me so we all sat down and had tea with bickies.


My neighbours before then are really nice to the one before them are Puru so i've they are really nice to and in num one shes a lovely lady.Theres a few kids around and the boy next door we all play cricket,soccor and basket ball in the front lawns.I think it's really cool when you are able to live somewhere and you have nice friendly neighbours.

Yep. The folk who live nearby can have a HUGE effect on your own quality of life.

Currently we have quiet old folk nearest. Mostly we all just leave each other alone, but that's fine. On the other hand we help each other when needed, like when they took my kids in one cold evening when I was late getting home from work and they'd forgotten keys to get inside.

Previous house in a dodgy area. Unemployed losers across the road; could have noisy parties any night they wanted - but I had to go to work and wanted some sleep, arseholes. (Used to happen a lot). Google street view even caught on "film" the dead ute they had parked on the road, which they filled with their smelly trash that they couldn't be bothered disposing of properly.

Had noise control on speed dial with the last collection of losers next door. Fortunately the flat owner is back from Australia and hes cleared them out (his own son and all his hanger-on mates)

Problem now is that the owner is going back to Aus and I'm guessing the trash will move back in. Tempted to burn the place if i thought I could get away with it.

Older woman lives alone with her two dogs on the same ROW behind us. Used to be fine, got along great, helped her with odd things when she needed it. We'd heard from her the previous owners of our house were terrible, nasty etc, and thought, gosh, why on earth would they be like that. :weird:

Fast forward time, we now consider her a crazy old bat, she's tried calling the cops on us for bullshit stuff, and we've resorted to a couple of lawyers letters telling her to leave us alone (so there is a paper trail), we'll have nothing to do with her etc. She tried having a BBQ, invited all the neighbours but us, tried to turn them against us, no-one ever went to her BBQ etc. Neighbour diagonally from us (her neighbour) resorted to a fence to keep her from using his garden as a shortcut to another road. We happily agree with him she's nuts.

All in all, one crazy old bat is hardly a problem to manage compared to youngsters who wouldn't give a shit, do whatever they like etc, so it's not that bad in the scale of things. We're also having second thoughts if the previous owners were really that bad. :laugh:

Oh, and for the rest, being a nice big city, we hardly know a name of a single one. They leave us alone, we leave them alone. Know one couple who are hardly there, but they're nice enough.

I do the same for Dhishan's Nan i've told her she can ring me up any time even if it's early in the morn and also to send her grandson to come and get me if i'm home shes not very well sometimes and gets very bad ansiaty attacks and her blood pressure gets very high her daughter works and starts at 6am and shes not home till the evening.

Mine keep to their own. So we keep to our own as well. What with having a Corner-ish section and ex Council flats as neighbours, We have 9 neighbours.

However, They are all kind enough to give us a free soccer/rugby ball every so often. One of them is even kind enough to have an unsecured WIFI.. Shame im leaving this house in a months time...

Most of my neighbours are great except for the ones next door, in the only rental house.... This house has had nothing but problems since one of the tenants hung himself in it about 5 years ago.
The guy goes to work at 8pm in a huge roadworks type truck and comes home at 4am and uses his air brakes for about 10 minutes while crawling down our nearly flat street, he then parks outside our house. When he and his wife aren't screaming at each other and the other 10 people that are living there, then they are playing loud music. The cops are always there.
This guy wanted another neighbour's van that had broken down - he offered him $400 for it and was told no, it is getting fixed. So he breaks into it and takes the rego and WOF off the window and plates off the van and sells it to the broken car company. I saw them take the van away. That night I have a hysterical neighbour looking for the van, and I tell her I saw the tow truck. Another neighbour took photos. The guy got charged.
It sucks cos I love my house, but these people are driving me crazy, I can't go over there and talk to them because I am scared of these people. I am also scared for my dog - people steal bulldogs and these people seem to think they can do what they want.
I have lived here for 9 years :no:

Neighbours we have our driveway next to are great, home buisness so great security for our flat too. Other one is kind of grumpy/crazy. Ones over the back fence like burning plastic and other crap so the odd council call is required.

Few houses down just broke the record the other week, 5 cop cars turned up for the domestic disturbance (sounds like pretty much the whole street called the cops about it), previous highest was only 3.

But I wonder what they think of you? . . .

On one side of us is a silly old bint who seems to like to try and cause drama - which we deal with by blatantly ignoring her. We have an indian couple that has just moved in next door who seem really nice.
Its nice to have dcent neighbors, but I dont care if I have crappy neighbors, I just do my own thing

A bottle of bourbon at christmas time and he mows my lawns 26 times a year. Sweet.

The other rang the SPCA when he moved in because he didnt like my dog being out at night. I phoned CYFS and told them he beat his children. Haven't heard a peep out of him since then.

Nice quiet neighbours in our cul-de-sac. Polite waves but not much conversation really (except for when there is a big earthquake).

Next door had a birthday party for their 16 year old daughter last night. 28 Teenagers! We were warned the week before though and all neighbours got a nice note in their letter box explaining what was going on ...supervised ... no alcohol ... finish time and even the parents landline and mobile numbers if anyone had a problem.
There were no problems.

Good one side of the fence, pricks the other. The good side owns an Indian restaurant in town, works late hours, something like 2-1am. Great guy, Managed to break a deal for his old car with his workmates, 1500 for a nice condition Honda Civic.

The bad side, Uni students. Love getting on the piss at ungodly hours of the morning. One time, they got home at 0130, and turned on the music. Broke glass bottles all over the road. Needless to say, They got a stern yelling at the next morning...:bash:

I can see why you think staying with the light is a good idea.

We've BBQ'd with oor neighbours and they're all very different but all lervely folks... the plumber doon the road got us out of a bind one saturday on his day off, the fella up the road offered me the use of his mower one day when I was out weed eating (I was happy to make a long job of it that day), the coppa across the road came bangin on the door one day after his trampoline jumped the fence and a few of us got together to throw it back over... we lend each other stuff, watch each others kids so the adults can get out and have some fun, socialise on rare occasions but always say hi and shoot the breeze for 20 mins or so, we can hear pipe music every now and then (the proclaimers too, dirty Scots somewhere) and I'm pretty sure someone in the next street practices with his band mates in their garage and they sound no too bad either... all in all relatively close... must be time for another meet the neighbours BBQ soon :woohoo:

Fair enough. One of my mates lives in a black area, and the neighbours jump over the fence to steal tools or anything of value in the back yard, the guys across the road yell abuse at us, the people next to that house tried to steal my mates car, the people around the corner tried to hijack my mates car and they hit it with a baseball bat. Can't even walk down the road to the local convenience store in that area without some hoodrats starting trouble and a whole lot of black faces staring out the windows. Little cunts with spray cans walk down the street marking their territory, there seem to be at least 3 shopping trolleys dumped on the side of the road each time I go there. It's rather intimidating.

We got an asian next door but I don't mind her because she never starts any shit, so the perfect neighbour just about.

Yup, same shit happened where I used to stay in Glasgow, fuckers burning things, smashing bottle, smashing peoples cars, caravans, putting the odd window in (someone stuck a pellet through one of our windows) etc... not a dark soul to be seen.

I've been robbed in bad parts of Christchurch several times by groups of youths, and there are parts of town I wouldn't walk around in at night.

NZ isn't really that safe a country any more, not with all the random street bashings that are occurring more and more often. It depends what country you compare it to I guess.

Neighbours?
One's a cunt who set fire to the place, burnt out 4 acres and nearly burnt the house down, then couldn't be bothered apologising, and has also taken pot shots at the dogs - he'll get his one day.....the others are great - we ignore them and they ignore us - if we see each other over the fence we say gidday and move on. 5 houses in sight is 5 too many, anyway.........

Any country with that many blacks is going to be bad.
You reckon....the missus got on well with the blacks....well...Zulu anyway - she couldn't stand the coloureds...
