Apologies if this has been done a million times before, haven't been on here that long

But aaaaaaargh

Why post asking for opinions then get all huffy if the opinion makes you feel bad or isn't what you want to hear?

Have just encountered this a LOT today and it frankly puts me off posting on any thread which asks for my honest opinion.

Note: I will not be offended by any opinion on this topic

NOt sure if they are posh, they don't say much to us!! (maybe we give off bad vibes to them due to them waking us up by stomping around all night as well!)

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:27

Yes, maybe they like to move the bed to different rooms.....ewwwwww

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:28

Or maybe they chase each other around, naked except for some hob nailed boots (and perhaps a thong!)

nah, I reckon they are using different bits of furniture don't you? They've probably read a book on spicing up their love life and are stomping round their flat going 'oh it said try the kitchen table, let's do that' and then moving all the chairs out the way and then stomping off to get a cushion and a blanket or something....

foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:30

lol that is a distinct possibility

foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:31

that is so fantastic, I think we will have to give them a long name. They are the NakedHobNailedBootPeople lol.

Janni · 04/05/2008 21:31

I'm here but only for a mo.
You're very welcome to Shout 'n Shag, I don't have a patent on it.

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:32

you won't be able to look at them the same again. When you see them holding hands, you'll be picturing them in boots and thongs lol.

I can never see WitnessProtection without thinking what crime they may have witnessed.

FreddysTeddy · 04/05/2008 21:32

Oh this thread has taken on a very personal turn. I feel bad for intruding now

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:32

Janni - they don't shout, they just shag!

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:33

(allegedly)

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:33

Could call them DontShoutJustShag..in fact that is a good mumsnet handle!!

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:35

yes, but people would then have a picture of you shagging when they read your posts no no no.

(freddy, no such thing as intruding on here!)

Janni · 04/05/2008 21:35

Sorry - I'm lagging behind. It was someone else's neighbours who did the shout&shag [shame]

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:35

FreddysTeddy..it is a bit of a saucy thread for an innocent teddy

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:38

Yes, my neighbours just stomp and shag! Maybe they are doing some kind of mating dance ritual!

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:39

did you think FreddysTeddy was innocent?

I thought it might be the Teddy of Freddy Kreuger and actually quite evil and spirited.

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:39

Maybe its a lingerie teddy, in which case Freddy is very kinky!

OP posts:
HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:41

I just made my DH feel quite ill at the thought of the neighbours doing some kind of pre shagging haka!

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:42

lol I don't like that sort of thought at all

what other neighbours have you got? let's name them

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:44

We have a very religious and quite scary woman upstairs, and a very quiet old man next door who strangely gets drunk and plays loud Abba records..and a really unfriendly couple opposite who ignore you if you say hello to them..maybe they are in witness protection..or are in league with the stompnshag couple....

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:46

oh yes, unfriendly couple sound PRIME witnessprotection potential

religious woman - is she single?

I am fascinated by quiet old man and his Abba songs. Do you think he gets drunk and then is dressing up like a woman and dancing around his room?

HereComeTheGirls · 04/05/2008 21:46

Yes she is very single.

The quiet old man?..nothing would surprise me

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/05/2008 21:48

she has to be ScaryMary surely
