Every village has a village idiot.

[Doc Spock]

This is ours, he lives at the end of the lane, and goes shopping like this.

Have you got any strange neighbours.

There was once a man lived next to me who i called Vampire.
he always had his "BLACK" curtains closed and never visited his "OVER GROWN" garden. He sounded like he was "BUILDING A COFFIN" every night and during the day, went out of his house with a rucksack on his back.
Also i heard alot of "DRAGGING AND SCRAPING" coming from his house.
QUite funny how he moved out and the house was again left empty for years.

Been renting here for 6 months. 1st day in and my hubby (as usual) gets talking to the local strange one. He lives in the run down house on the corner - filthy house, black and torn nets, overgrown to jungle rating, car rusting away. Well, this morning, hubby comes in very excitedly with the Sunday papers saying he has just seen into funny blokes house (he lives with funny woman too!) as he has his front door open. The mess is unbelievable, stuff piled so high he wonders how they get up the stairs. Yet he chats away oblivious to how he lives as if its how everyone lives too.

lol Doc Spock, he looks groovey

[Doc Spock]

Some odd folk eh.

Rabbitygirl , there are a couple who live around the corner from us who are like that , garden a jungle , junk up the drive , house full of rubbish ,but to see them out you would think their house was in homes and gardens . It takes all sorts to make a world , and variety is the spice of life ???

Only "one" village idiot?? Ours has a bunch ....but you know I wouldn't want to swap where I live for anything. Village life is great! Give me a village over a larger town anyday!

[theonlyone]

Spockie , tell the truth and shame the devil !!! That is a photo of you !! You don't have to get embarrassed , you just need a makeover . lol

[theonlyone]

evedawn , where I live the local farmer was muck spreading and the village had a smell of cow poo over it ,people were moaning , my answer is don't live in the country ,go back to the city .So I totally agree with you .

[bensmum]

Doc somedays I think I am the village idiot. Seriously there is a lovely mixture where I live and it takes all sorts of colourful characters to make up village life. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Theres a guy lives by me who has a rip on the knee of his jeans, and a face drawn on his knee. If you don't talk to this face (it has a name) he gets really upset. One day last year he drew crosses in for it's eyes and told everybody it was dead.
Nice guy tho x

Please don't post a picture of me on here again.

There's a really grumpy bloke lives near me.
He spies on his neighbours (we can all see the curtains twitching) and seems to make notes about our movements, although we're not sure quite what he does with the information........
We think that he is mostly retired but seems to work a couple of afternoons a week; probably to top up his pension because the Somalis have stolen the rest of it.
We all try not to stand next to him at the bus-stop because he will button-hole you and give you the benefit of his views on a variety of topics: although he seems to talk out of his **** (self-edited) much of the time !

Doc, how did you get that photo of him? Did he pose? How do we know it's not you having a muck about? he he hee!!

Clairey-s; am laughing about the guy with the face on his knee.

I remember years ago I worked in a sweet shop and an older man used to come in. Part dressed as a woman though - so he'd have men's clothes on and then a womanish hair do and make up. And talk in a funny voice. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

[theonlyone]

Spockie , can't wait for your reply , but what a change not to have any abuse etc. Just a chit -chat thing.
