I'm having new neighbour problems OT

Only a few people are allowed guns here and my neighbours aren't the ones.
They would not have a clue.
They've come from the city and have no idea about semi- rural life and how
to get on with their neighbours.
It's a pity as I would have been quite prepared to be friends with them had
they not proved to such ar*h*les.
What kind of neighbour would deliberately make me hop round there with a
broken foot to beg to get my car out?
Not one that gets any help from me in the future. It will be very difficult
for them to take the two poplars down. They claim they are damaging their
garage. I say don't blame the trees, I saw how it was built. Cowboys.

On Wednesday I asked them once again and I had to hop with my bad

I've
been here 25 years and never had a problem with it with my

neighbours and they said "we arent your previous neighbours, are

They have to get my permission to build a wall they want and to
take
down two trees that they cannot get to except if they do it on my
land. Strangely enough, I am going to say no.

We have things here that you can put over your curb so as to be
able to drive up and down without needing hte curb to be remodelled
and allowing the water to run down the gutter. The're metal plates
and kinda look like this:

They'd be cheaper than having hte curb re-done.

BTW, I am no expert on law, but if you've been using their curb to
get yor car out for years andyears, then you may well have a
'common law' right of access over their property and they have no
legal right ot block it.

either way, I hope the situation resolves quickly, with the least
expense possible.

sounds as if they haven't a clue about a lot of things, please keep updates
i am interested not only because i want to support you, but i am interested

In my part of the UK, "leery" means "aggressive, looking for a fight".

That's probably only in your part of the UK, then. It seems most
everywhere else "leery" and "wary" are synonyms.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/leery

(Notice that your meaning is there, denoted slang.)

Are you British, Patok? Do you live in the UK?
Interested to know.

No, I'm Bulgarian, and live in the States at the moment. But the
English I learned first was British, certainly.

Cheers!

You can insult our use of airplane in the same sentence that you use

As an amateur linguist (yeah, it's a hobby with me -- weird hobby, but a
hobby nevertheless since college) I must agree. If you look at the new words
being created on an almost daily basis, and you can get lists of those
every year when the compendia of new words come out in new dictionaries,
various blog lists, etc., you'll see that American English is the most
innovative of all languages.

We are the most creative when it comes to talking, and we also have one of
the largest vocabularies. We create words for new situations and new
conditions and we have a huge collection of slang words (many of which
become mainstream in time-- e.g., "blog"). The average American uses a daily
vocabulary of almost 5,000 words. We have a LOT of synonyms -- just check
Roget's Thesaurus. I know a couple of other languages, and believe me,
there is no comparison.

I have an older edition of computer Scrabble. I am sometimes amazed that
words which are in normal, daily use are not in the Scrabble dictionary. But
then -- that edition is 3 or 4 years old. The language has already moved on,
discarded some words, and adopted others (and I could not find an updated
Scrabble game, either!).

Sorry to be so long-winded. We now resume our regular cat programming...
