Everybody Needs Insane Neighbours

January 20, 2010
Thumbnail image for Everybody Needs Insane Neighbours

One thing I’ve missed in recent years is living near berko neighbours. Over the past few years, my neighbours have been disappointingly beige. When I moved into this block of flats, I was praying for neighbours that could be easily cast into a sitcom. I’m proud to announce my wish has been granted! Seeing as [...]

Who Stole our Bins?

September 2, 2009

Upon leaving our house earlier this week, we discovered that our trusty Otto garbage bins had been stolen. Many questions immediately arose in our minds. In a region which has a bounty of garbage bins supplied at no cost by the local council, why did a neighbour suddenly establish the need to house multiple trash [...]

Top Five Reasons We’re Moving House

January 5, 2009

We’re moving house in a few weeks. This has caused us to reassess all the things we’ve never been able to do or buy in our current house. We’ve concluded the top five benefits are: 1. Domestic boxing bag Adam has longed for a boxing bag in the home, but we’ve never had enough room. [...]

150 Daily Minutes of Joy

July 9, 2005

Considering how our yuppie stereotype neighbours languish in their Craig-David-Robbie-Williams-Dido-Freedom-Furniture-Showroom existence, it’s a godsend that our other neighbour keeps to himself. Well, in a reserved, creepy, John Burgess kinda way. There’s not much that we know about this guy, mostly because he doesn’t flail around in his front yard with dislocated wrist bones, wailing about [...]

When Sexually Deprived Men Snap

May 22, 2005

This week left me left gasping in dismay after learning that our yuppie neighbours actually own their David Jones display home apartment. I can no longer desperately cling to the thin hope that they’ll eventually move out. There’s no longer a distant promise to an end of erupting laughter to constant viewings of Friends repeats, [...]

Woolloomoobroom

March 8, 2005

We live in Woolloomooloo, a city suburb which strives to maintain a glossy sheen of yuprosexual, waterfront, Russell-Crowe-is-our-neighbour style. Scratch beneath the thin surface, though, and you’re presented with what Woolloomooloo has been all along – a fairly seedy (although quiet) suburb which isn’t necessarily that safe at night. We literally have a bad side [...]

I Got my Daydo from Kayza-Ayza

January 27, 2005

When Adam and I resided in Melbourne last year, we truly understood the value of great neighbours. Up until then, we’d had a great run of near-silent people living around us. In Melbourne, though, we were dragged down into the real world by an apartment full of nerds who worked from home – exclusively between [...]

Terror on the Top Level

June 7, 2002

Adam and I are now happily situated in our new apartment – all moved in without a problem. Initially, we were fascinated by this building: everyone here is so friendly. It doesn’t matter who you travel in the elevator with, they’ll be more than happy to share their clubbing plans for the evening with you, [...]

Everybody Needs Good Neighbours (Especially if you Live in Surry Hills)

July 8, 2001

As I plunge out of the supermarket, squeezing myself free of the cashier’s desperate grasp on my due change and attempting to re-orientate myself after the relentlessly harsh stoner-deterring lighting, I’m immediately accosted by a salesman. Such an occurrence is to be expected in the delightfully quaint world of Surry Hills Shopping Village, location of [...]

Mix Tape for a Life-Threatening Emergency

April 7, 2001

Cursed with an industrial strength headache which seemed to last longer than an episode of Cash Bonanza, I cocooned myself in bed as soon as I arrived home yesterday from work; nursing a thumping head. Having sensed my desire for some piece and quiet, our neighbours presumably quickly plotted revenge for myself and Adam’s endless [...]
