Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Mr Wiswell: I didn't see the immobile/toilet pun. I prefer to only pun on purpose.<br /><br />MaryA: Yes, the other neighbours are interesting. Won't blow up someone's house, but they won't call the fire brigade if someone else does...Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194421719317300410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2518099959262402617.post-35678687386336425542011-12-15T09:02:11.819-08:002011-12-15T09:02:11.819-08:00It is interesting to pick up on two themes here, t...It is interesting to pick up on two themes here, the drug dealers you want to get rid of and the neighbors that "thought someone else" had reported it.

I don't feel like you're the sort to stand a nuisance for a long period, then go violent.
