I realise this is a very 21st century problem to have but seriously Just bog off will you (grammers not mners)
There' s been a queue of 'em today and another one now in the small hours, presumably because no passers by. BECAUSE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP!!.

Anyone else have these twats? Bucket of icy water? Aibu?

Me neither Danger.
I reckon op just wanted to boast about how nice her house is.

PaddedRoomForOnePlease · 07/12/2016 07:22

Well I get it and I'm sympathetic. I don't need to see the house to imagine how annoying it is - we lived in a touristy area fairly recently!

Any chance you can move OP? Or is that definitely not on the cards?

shovetheholly · 07/12/2016 07:30

I am hoping it's Rye, because there's something so deliciously Lucia about all this. Grin

DramainPyjamas - thanks for that, I was a student in Bristol in the Seventies and lived in Clifton for a couple of years (in "the house with the red door"!). Looking at porthjess's instagram photos has made my morning!
Enjoying the funny comments on this thread! I think "wazzock" dates back to my student days, too!

BusterGonad · 07/12/2016 07:36

I used to live in Bristol Tuktuk I miss it!

frumpet · 07/12/2016 07:37

Would just like to thank you for the use of the word wazzocks on a dreary Wednesday morning Smile

FruJustFru · 07/12/2016 07:40

I wonder if this sort of thing www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-37820663 is what the OP is being plagued by?

Tuktuktaker · 07/12/2016 07:41

Buster, so do I - still have a uni friend there and visit him whenever possible - I want to retire there but the husband doesn't like it as much as I do, so that's out :( (Also really expensive to buy there, of course!)

woesinwonderland · 07/12/2016 07:42

I assumed Wazzocks was the name of a publisher Blush

There is a house I lust after beside my dc school. I get there early to park outside it and pretend I live there The lady of the house is eating breakfast in her dressing gown. It has the most beautiful red door I have ever seen.

Angelitron · 07/12/2016 07:44

Wow I'd didn't know this was a thing! There was a man photographing my house last week. I was quite freaked out by him and photographed him back😊 Including his licence plate.

My house is very pretty...I don't want it photographing.

HammersWidow · 07/12/2016 07:46

It's the house off the missing!!! I love that house. The kitchen is particularly bright and airy. I'm sure it was the same area used in the returned too

BusterGonad · 07/12/2016 07:47

TukTuk when I move back to England I will be living an hour away and can't wait to go back and have a pint in a pub watching the world go by, I love the shops too. It's a real buzzing city.

Tuktuktaker · 07/12/2016 07:54

Buster, our daughter was really disappointed not to be able to follow in my footsteps and is now at a University to the south-west of Bristol in a lovely city but not as nice as Bristol, in my opinion - we may retire there but it will be missing that "Bristol Buzz" Grin
Ooooh, scrumpy at The Albion!
OK, must stop with the nostalgia, feeling homesick for Brissle and student life, moy lover, meducks!

We lived in Clifton until 18 months ago, I miss it so much!

Couldn't you just run them bells louder Quasi? Wink

Catsize · 07/12/2016 08:03

There is a blog on MN highlighting issues with teenagers accessing porn. I am glad they are switching to houses.

Sixgeese · 07/12/2016 08:03

One of my friends lives in a trendy part of East London, pictures of his house keep popping up in various newspaper and online articles about that area.

As it's not my house it's fun to play spot the house.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 07/12/2016 08:06

Apparently the house where Carrie in Sex and the City lived has now a rope barrier and a "no photos' sign.

Tuktuktaker · 07/12/2016 08:06

Goofy, it has such a lovely atmospher, hasn't it! I've just realised I might have overstated the living in Clifton bit - lived in one of the streets behind the Students Union, I suppose that just about counts as Clifton? Grin

Tuktuktaker · 07/12/2016 08:07

*Students' Union building - aaargh, discombobulated with nostalgia!

PinkPlastic · 07/12/2016 08:12

Be grateful it is just your house and not you. DH is 6'7" and currently in South Korea on business. He said he was stealth selfie'd more than 10 times yesterday. Everyone was too scared to ask for a proper selfie so just crept up as close as possible to him and took a selfie and ran off.

PlumsGalore · 07/12/2016 08:13

I don't find it strange that people take pictures of nice houses, I do find it strange that they are all twenty something and come in the dark. THats just odd. Reading this i realised that I do this, only on holiday though, so errr yes when I am a tourist. I love to go on city break and take a nice picture with artictecture in the background that typifies the area and country.

Oh shit, I went to Cape Cod and spent ages taking photos of people's painted wooden houses with The Stars and Stripes hanging outside.

Dear people that live in lovely houses, sorry.

BitOutOfPractice · 07/12/2016 08:32

I have never ever wanted to see a picture of someone's house as badly as I do the OP's
