Celeb neighbour has put up amazing lights

[Christmasamtryigtogetexcited]

I live very close to a famous celebrity and she has had the most amazing lights put up today ! They are fabulous and she told my husband this evening that they make her happy ..good for her ! Anyone else going to have their last hoorah this year ?

Architect to dentist. Interesting career move. Probably too much acidic vinegar in chips for him though?

She’s clearly out of touch with the real world - energy crisis, huge price rises - but “hey, look at me - cos I’m rich and I don’t give a shit, so let’s put up bloody Christmas lights on Armistice Day”

Nigel's practice is gorgeous - it's a converted Church!

I want to meet Sticky Sandra and the Celebrity Dentist now.

I’m feeling sorry for Sandra. Does she know Nigel nicked her hat?

@OldMotherShipton No! Not Nige! My nana will be devastated. Just the thought of queue jumpers gets her all in a tis. She watches that programme where people bring in random junk and random people buy it, just for him. He's "dreadfully handsome" don't you know?

Oh
I thought chippie as in carpenter- his father was a builder and carpenter apparently (Nigel Hargreaves the dentists father not Nigel Havers)

Nigel Havers father was a judge and conservative peer

It was the china department

I won't tell my nana he likes to hang out there or she'll organise a coach trip to stalk him. Come to think of it, she has a bingo friend called Sandra...

Geez, I'm not from the UK, it wouldn't even occur to me not to put up lights on Armistice day.

Except of course the fact that it's bloody November

Not sure why people are so rude and acting jealous that you live near a celeb.

They’ve got to live somewhere and I bet there’s quite a few MNers who live near celebrities.

I live near Nigel Hargreaves

Maybe your family didn't die en masse on the battlefields of France?

@OldMotherShipton the dentist?!

I'm well jel now.

I live next door to Dave Grohl and he popped over this morning to tell me that he doesn't even want to be your monkey wrench, so there. He would have stayed for a jaffa cake too but he had to go back and put his Christmas lights up. We're going round to hurrah them tomorrow.

Is it Kerry Katona? She’s had her house dressed by a company for Christmas.

Not sure who her dentist is though.

I have no desire to be in a position of power, but should I ever become dictator for a day I will decree no Christmas lights until December 1st. Bah, humbug!

My auntie used to live next door to Alvin Stardust.

Is it too soon to nominate this thread for Classics? 😁

@EndlessMagpies the chipmunk?

OldMother I'm going to take umbrage on Keizer's behalf, his sponge needs some work but it's a bit mean to equate his baking and acting skills. He also feeds my cat and he does it really well.

I served Seb Coe in the CoP 8,000 years ago and he was very brusque and condescending. Then I got sacked for not wearing American tan tights. That put paid to my career in retail.

Well exactly. It's a normal day for me, and I wouldn't expect my neighbours to be peering out from behind their net curtains judging me for that. They are of course to observe the day as they see fit.

They are in Turkey I believe!

We must know each other because Alvin Stardust is my dad. He never puts lights up because he can't be arsed.
