What If?..

Good grief Jo! - Move house mate!

Or just walk around brandishing your spatha. I generally find that works to discourage the ''local wildlife'' from manifesting themselves

If the police ask just say you are practicing drill manoeuvres for your next re-enactment event lol 8)

The shooting and dog theft incidents didn't happen where I'm living now, but where I grew up. I'm glad to say the area has been cleaned up and many parts rebuilt since then and standards of living have improved, but it's a slow process. There are still some areas near here which are seen as no-go areas and crime, prostitution, drugs and gangs are part of everyday life for some people .I suppose it's the same with all inner cities though.
A little cottage in the countryside would be nice though! Even if everyone has no chin and eleven toes :wink:

Anyhow, this is going OT :oops:
