To think after 24 years Alice simply wasn't interested?

That damn dirge was in my head for at least three days this week!

Maybe she has run off to meet Sylvia, who’s catching the 9 o’clock train.
They have both had enough of blokes wailing about them.

Who the fuck is Alice?

It was a song called 'Living next door to Alice' in which the singer is bemoaning the fact that he's lived next door to her for 24 years and she's shown no interest in him. And now she's moving. I think it was a hit in the late 70s for a group called Smokie,so you'd only know what the OP was talking about if you're over about 55!

At least Sally got the ride

Where did she come from?

Show quote history

She ran off with Cotton Eyed Joe

Sorry - just seen we’ve already had that one

Throwmoneyatit · 19/09/2026 14:21

I hope Sally knows that she's second choice

Sally is an absolute knob, putting her paw out for Alice's crumbs.

Pabbel · 19/09/2026 06:25

Mystery solved Alice was actually Alan 😯living a double life, it was a tangled web.

Next door, at least for the last 24 years… prior to that is a mystery

This must have been the remixed version.

Show quote history

It was!
That was the day she decided sod it! I'm off to Wonderland, and she met a white rabbit and a mad hatter 🐰 🎩 😆

She knew she couldn't love him, when she observed him pouring the sauce over his infantile chicken nuggets, then licking the excess off the top of the ketchup-bottle like a gecko greedily licking his eyes.

He'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.

How is this song 50 years old? I remember hearing it for the first time in 2002 and everyone joining in. 🤣

KatyKan · 18/09/2026 21:28

Don't let them jump off the Tallahachie Bridge.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 18/09/2026 21:28

Good on Alice, - how could he not find a chance to tell her how he feels in 24 bloody years?!

sweeneytoddsrazor · 18/09/2026 21:27

I guess carving your initials in a tree means nothing

thegrind · 18/09/2026 21:26

a colleague told me that they just didn’t want the same thing

Dahliasrule · 18/09/2026 21:24

I think she’s the winner here. He should have acted sooner

Littlejellyuk · 18/09/2026 21:13

The limousine was a game changer....

Yabadoobie · 18/09/2026 21:11

Well he should've told her how he felt. He had 24 years and was a bit of a wet rag if he couldn't tell her. No wonder she left.

Pregnancy or std?
