When I first left home I lived in a house with two other flatmates. One was a bouncer, one ran the local gym. Both were related and were a bit unhinged (to say the least) but lovely blokes if you got to know them. Some of the things they used to get up to:
1. Coming home from work one day, the bouncer (who was 6ft 6" and weighed 20-odd stone) in the upstairs window of his room, bollock naked, blaring out "My Teddy Bear" by Elvis and roaring loudly.
2. The gym owner, Tony (who was about 6ft and 17 stone) riding his dirt bike up and down the road bollock naked (there's theme here). A few weeks later we got a complaint letter from the council about this which made him do it even more.
3. Next door was vacant and on the market to be sold. A couple came round one sunny Saturday when were were out the back. There was a few of us out there, all pissed and was watching the bouncer demonstrate his pick axe throwing skills into the wooden fence at the bottom of the garden. Needless to say the house was never sold while we were in there.
4. Another drunken Saturday summer afternoon, we'd got hold of this air rifle and had taped a load of aerosol cans to the tree and were shooting at them with the air rifle. The first one that was hit exploded and it was deafening. I'm sure the neighbours thought a bomb had gone off.
Funnily enough we never got any grief from the neighbours and a few years later I started a new job. I got talking to this woman who was from Tottenham, and as it turns out, she was from Durban Road (the place where this house was). I casually mentioned that I lived in Durban Road a few years ago and her face dropped and she said "not number 36?" I said, "yeah, how did you know that?" She just looked at me and said, everyone in the street was scared of the people who lived in that house. We all thought they'd just been released from St Anne's (which was the local nuthouse)".
Anyway, moral of the story is, if you don't want agg from the neighbours, throw axes, blow things up and ride motorbikes up and down the road in the nude.
