Alas, the written DVD reviews have fallen by the way side as I try and get the Shiny Discs video podcast up to scratch but maybe in a few months time when I've got the time to produce the video podcast down I can provide the odd review in written form as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442419547110456696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27988188.post-38074172065342557462008-05-13T21:11:00.000+01:002008-05-13T21:11:00.000+01:00Really sympathise with your neighbour problems.

Thank God we've never had flooding to contend with, but the noise is often unbearable and mostly caused by visitors who hold no regard for folks who actually pay rent to live there.<BR/>Great blog btw. Really enjoy reading your posts, and your beautifully written DVD rewviews.Steve Langtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759586159893673244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27988188.post-13232595973667524002008-05-13T16:43:00.000+01:002008-05-13T16:43:00.000+01:00Hope you at least have a DRY birthday... :-)Hope you at least have a DRY birthday... :-)Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27988188.post-20299175345501955002008-05-12T13:06:00.000+01:002008-05-12T13:06:00.000+01:00Yes.

Even when I've had wonderful neighbours to start with Sod's Law says they eventually move on (or in one extreme example, die!) and the replacements turn out to be the nightmare I thought I'd escaped from. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the day where I can afford to move to somewhere outside London without someone above and below me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442419547110456696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27988188.post-10836556665519969552008-05-12T12:01:00.000+01:002008-05-12T12:01:00.000+01:00You have my sympathies, wherever I've lived there ...You have my sympathies, wherever I've lived there has been some level of annoyance and disruption from neighbours. One of the attractive things about where Beth's parents live is the lack of neighbours - they can run their bath, play their DVD, throw a party or whatever with enough distance that it's not a bother to their neighbours. However the commute to any sort of IT work from somewhere like that, plus the limited and expensive broadband options mean it's not a practical option. Over here anywhere similar (and I doubt it even exists in southern England) is financially a lottery win away so we're stuck. Having said that with improved broadband (Alberta is talking about rolling out wimax in rural areas) and the right employer it might become an attractive option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
