There's someone who lives on my road called Michael. He lives on the the second floor of a big old town house opposite mine. I've never seen or met him. How do I know he's called Michael? Because once, maybe two, sometimes 3 times a day, there will be one of a variety of people standing outside his front door, should "MICHAEL!" up at his open window. This could be 8am or 3am, and has in the past led to a barrage of "FUCK OFF!"s from my neighbours, but nothing seems to deter them.
Question: should I make a note that says "MICHAEL - BUY A FUCKING DOORBELL" and stick it on his front door?
*shouting "MICHAEL!"
get a gravestone engraved with "Michael"
and stick it on his lawn
2 birds, one stone - deterrent and threat
+ Smiley face sticker
= best comedy threat ever.
OMG
I TOTALLY HEARD THIS WHEN I STAYED AT YOUR HOUSE
it was really annoying, i was tired :(
yes
yes you should
but his stealth visitors might catch you?
:-S
They scare me. With such a reckless disregard for social convention in city living, what else might they be capable of?
bf
Is he a crack dealer? Just leave an anonymous tip off to the police. Problem solved
^lol
..
I'd go for "MICHAEL IS DEAD, SORRY".
Then won't get any more visitors, that'll show him.
i'd vote for this
maybe dribble some fake blood over his windowsill, just to convince them.
dont leave a note
go over and shout it
even better
shout it from your own window. and then hide.
all day long.
like putty shelbarn
That would be funny.
Alas, I have not the inclination.
indeed
DAN, DAN... DAN.......DAN, DAN, DAN, DAN
..................................DAN!
Are you singing the theme music to the Untouchables?
:D
what?
I thought this was going to be about
Blur's Modern Life is Rubbish.
Or Franz Ferdinand?
no
just Blur.
at the beginning of Miss America
Don't't worry, I got the reference.
:)
me too!
^5!
ME THREE or FOUR. ^5's all round!!
oh my god
i'm so glad you posted that, it's the first thing that came into my head when i saw this thread, i'm glad it's not just me being stuck in a 90s timewarp, as per
I thought this was going to be about
Blur's Modern Life is Rubbish too.
Write to your MP
She's too busy being a smug, paunchy prick on national TV.
Who is it?
You should do it anyway
See if you can guess.
It'll be fun!
Clue, and then guess.
Then more clues.
Really, it will.
Come onnnnn, play.
You will?
ace.
I'll give you a clue.
Diane Abbott.
Is Michael a drug dealer?
wouldn't you feel bad if he was hard of hearing or deaf?
shouting a deaf person
wouldnt be a very smart thing to do
I don't think so.
I mean, it's usually an old woman, and it's hardly the most discreet dealing in the world if he is.
you do live in dalston though :D
it's his granny then? That is weird. There's nothing you can do unless you want to be that person that puts a note through the door saying they are disturbing your sleep etc?
Maaaan
I hate that person :(
It's possibly his gran I guess,
but there are a load of different guys that do it too.
mmmm. It's a toughie
Diane Abbott?
Did I make it too easy?
a little yeah
"a smug, paunchy prick on national TV"
i guessed straight away
is it diane abbott?
^^^ must be
Does Micheal sell drugs?
he sounds like a drug dealer.
i said this
and got slapped down by Brains. I thought this was most likely. This is what happens with drug dealers. People go to their houses and shout their names eventually because they are the most elusive of creatures.
:D
I knew what this was about before I opened the thread
Fucksake.
Some guy is doing it right now.
I'm gonna come down to london
follow the trail of the audible "micheal"s, then find your house.
Then I'm gonna stand there all night shouting "JOHN!.... JOHN!....JOHN!"
Call the police from a payphone and inform them
that you've seen a bearded man in traditional Arabic dress walking into his flat carrying a Kalashnikov.
Problem solved faster than you can say Jean Charles de Menezes
No.
Michael sounds cool.
I wish people shouted out for me in the street.
JOHN!.... JOHN!... JOHN!
This has been happening
for the past THIRTY MINUTES
i love this thread
I love you
.. (both)
is he
a beautiful dance whore?
is this thread about football
isn't everything?
a heartless fuck is what you are
I'm glad
other people mentioned the Blur thing earlier on. That's all I have to say.
MICHAEL!
wank song
YOU'RE A WANK SONG.
it is.
goes on for two minutes too long, like everything else on the second half of Modern Life.
Ummmmm . . . .
Chemical World
Sunday Sunday
Oily Water
Villa Rosie
Coping
Turn It Up
counting
Chemical World/Sunday Sunday as the end of the first half.
Coping's a good song. The rest of it is turgid. I've never understood DiS's love affair with this record, it's palpably nowhere near as good as Parklife or Blur.
It's my favourite
I love it so, so much.
Mainly for Colin Zeal and Villa Rosie, I think. Each song is brilliant.
I don't know if it's my favourite
Probabably Blur Blur is but it's absolutely amazing.
And I'm so glad they put the extended version of For Tomorrow on the 'best of' even if they only put the regular version of 'There's No Other Way' on there and NO Chemical World at all :(
Best Of's NotFTW
Blur are one of a few bands where I want to own t'albums.
I've got all the albums
AND the Best Of (mainly for the live CD, cos I was there).
And Pop Scene if you have the US version like me
Also Advert OWNZ! Or is it Commercial Break? The one before Sunday Sunday.
food processors are great!
It's Intermission I'm thinking of then, right?
I don't know
sing it!
I can hear it perfectly
in my head.
:D
That happened this January when I stayed at yours!
Me and Cat woke up about 4am to hear it.
MICHAEL!
What a cunt.
slowwwww
Shut up
you massive wang
sounds like a drug dealer to me
not called michael though. that's just a code word to put them off the scent.
this happens
outside my block of flats all the time. it's not michael though. either jim or nina. or pat. PAATTT.
Shout out the window
"SHUT UP!"
That works for me...
I contacted environmental health about it at one point, they asked for my details, and his, and I chickened out in case he's some mad dog killer dealer psycho.
I'm scared
theres a lot of them. whores, crackheads etc. The most hilarious one is the really drunk guy, who I shall call gerard. He was outside for about an hour, screaming. He does adventurous shit like attempting to climb drainpipes when he cant walk.
HE'S BEEN BUSTED
for dealing crack and has been evicted.
Happy days!
it's a good ending
but does ron howard really need to be involved?
Movie rights then?
MICHAEL!
