My neighbour is a local character
Apparently he was hit by a car when he was a boy, which left him with some kind of brain damage. He now looks to be in his late fifties. He spends most of his time hanging out of a first-floor window looking onto the street, smoking cigarettes in a vest and muttering incoherencies to himself though he's not averse to just repeatedly shouting "Boooooo" over and over again at, say, 7am on a Sunday morning.

He's also quite social - he'll happily try and strike up a conversation with anyone by shouting at them from his window, but he's especially keen on the ladies, even if they're halfway down the street he'll bellow "Awwwight gel!!" as loud as he can until they acknowledge his presence. And odds are that whatever they say back his response will be to say "Yeah, yeah, yeah" in a dismissive tone.

He's harmless enough I suppose, but the irritating thing is that his window onto the world directly faces my bedroom window. Shortly after we moved in I was snuggling with the missus on a Saturday morning and looked up to find him leaning out of his window and staring directly into ours, which may possibly have mentally scarred him further, so we haven't opened the blinds since.

Our next door neighbour also told me that the guy who lives in the flat below him keeps a telescope trained on her house, though how she knows this and why she would tolerate it are unlikely to become clear.

"keeps a telescope trained on her house"
... is easily remedied by the "keeps a laser pointer trained on his telescope" strategy.

That's a bit mental having a telescope trained on someone's house
and a bit more mental tolerating it

God Finsbury Park sounds even more shit than it used to be.
Quite an achievement.

Still the other poor cunts have to deal with the fact that they live in the same street as a twat who thinks a picture of some spasticated bint up a tree in her knickers wearing a Yoda mask is sexually attractive. So there are no winners in Finsbury Park, it seems.

Ah, the arch-nonce returns
Unable to comprehend why anyone might find a picture of a fully-grown woman sexually attractive, Spacky Chuckle throws around a few half-formed insults before returning to his usual refrain of "Give my daughter...to me, to me, to me!"

But yes, Finsbury Park is a shithole, though not half as shit as Bethnal Green.
