Every word in the Oxford English dictionary, and a few more besides.
That's the sort of thing I've said before, back in the days when you didn't get in my head & do it for me.
I'm big enough & fugly enough to realise that when I shut the door on my way out, there will be a bigger volume of champers than tears. It matters not one iota to me. Standing up for what I believe in is far more important. There was a time I would have walked hot coals for this place, that time passed years ago.
In effect, I moved into a house. When I moved there, I loved it. I helped care for it, maintain it's attributes...planted a few flowers...etc.
Then they built a bypass. You gotta have a bypass :lol:
A trading estate sprang up...traffic got heavier...I loved the house a little less.
The people who'd once lived nearby- the ones who'd moved in for the same reasons I had started to move out. I got on great with some of the new neighbours, but there were fewer people with whom I had much in common.
I started to see fewer reasons to stay.
Then there was a proposal to build a runway at the end of the street. I sleep through anything, but, concerned about the locals who don't...and the asthmatics etc, I wrote some letters, signed some petitions, and generally had my say.
The runway is about to be built. It will suit some people. It won't suit others.
I didn't want a house with a runway at the end of the street. I no longer love the house. I'm moving out. The street will carry on being. Someone else will move into the house, change the decor, replant the garden...and as I leave, I'll wish the neighb0ours well.
Why some people feel the need to argue ad hominem is quite beyond me.
And Res, scares the living wonkas? When we leave, you, my friend, are invited round for a Chinese meal. Whilst you're here, you can clean the wine off the computer screen. Barsteward.
