To think neighbour's behaviour is a bit odd?

... Or I'm probably just nosy and bored. My neighbours are a couple in their 30s (I'd guess.) I recently found out he's a successful former Intelligence Officer.

They are nice, friendly and helpful, though I can't help but sometimes feel there's something slightly off. They're quite private about their work, which is understandable. They frequently disappear for long periods of time (often weeks or months.) Whenever I speak to them, they often appear like they don't know what the other one is going on about, almost like they don't communicate about anything despite living in the same house (I know this is perfectly possible, though they seem a happy couple, so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't communicate much.)

Anyway, yesterday evening, an old housemate of mine appeared, using her old key to let herself in. Me and my boyfriend had some drinks with her. She's always been fond of the old herb so she was doing that and we were chatting and drinking for a few hours. When we went to bed I'd got five messages from my neighbour that had been deleted. I thought maybe she was complaining about noise but she messaged me back again today asking if we had weed up there and can I hook her up with a dealer Confused I said I don't smoke, but can send her the details of my old housemate. She kept being really eager asking if the girl would be coming back and when.

I'm confused by a couple of things

  1. I'm friendly with my neighbours, but not especially close. Is it a bit weird that she has asked me to put her in touch with a dealer.
  2. Is weed that hard to source in a big city?
  3. She told me that my housemate knows her under a different name. My housemate told me when she first moved in that she has a different name to the one I know her as. Her post etc. all comes under the name I know her as. I was curious about her job, but she doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. They barely ever go out as far as I can tell.

AIBU to think this is all quite odd?

Tbf it might help.

Op- do you all live in flats? Is that how the neighbour smelt the weed.

Why would you offer up contact details of your friend saying she can get drugs to some random person?

I am a successful former intelligence officer op, went by the code name 'Panda Lady'. I had to change to a different field when I kept telling people what I did for a living. I now write fiction books and am very successful.

Here‘a an idea for a code phrase for your spy story, op. The nut is in the squirrel’s cheek. Repeat, the nut is in the squirrel’s cheek. I’m sure others might offer more worthy suggestions.

The original post is odd enough, but when I noticed that both 'Ricki Tarr' and 'Smiley Clare' have commented.... Who will turn up next in this thread? Bill Haydon? or maybe even (gulp)...Karla?
