Re: complaining about a half way house

I'd say The Pope was a woman if I thought it would get the cops out.

Well, she does wear a dress. :rofl:

In fact, there's a little-known part of the procedure of the Conclave that ensures the newly elected Pope is not a woman. It has been used at the end of every Conclave since the fourteenth century following the scurrilous (and apocryphal) story of "Pope Joan" - link

An oblique reference to this ritual was made in the wireless news reports, which reported that Pope Frank would put on temporary Papal robes in "the Room of Tears", which the reporter said was named after the tears shed by the new Pope on leaving behind his carefree life - or some such nonsense. It is actually named after the Chair of Tears (or the Throne of Tears) which has a hole in the seat, rather like a close-stool or commode. The new Pope must sit in the Chair and let his manly bits dangle through the hole, where a trusted servant squeezes or twists them until tears appear in the Pope's eyes.

Returned from work to find this in my mailbox (outside doggy proof style mail box)

Dear Mrs Puff

With regards to number 67 Your Road, Your Town, Near A Big City, South Yorkshire.

I have had numerous correspondence with Mrs A Woman and Mr I M A Landlord with regards to the tenants of this property, and have been informed that you have sustained damage to your property a s a result of vandalism from the tenants. Please rest assured that I do not take such complaints lightly.

Recently, there have been occasions on which your street has had to be closed do to attendance by the Police for various reasons, and I believe on one of these occasions your dog was unwittingly released by an Officer attempting to gain access to the rear of said property.

I would like to pass on my deepest regret for this, and assure you that this is seen as a high priority to us, therefore we have instructed Mr I M A Landlord to meet with us at 9am tomorrow morning for the return of all keys to his person.

Yours

Mrs I M A Lady,

Sheffield High Court.

You can imagine I didn't believe this for one milisecond, so.. being a nosy cow, I went out with my girls for their evening walk, and lo and behold, the windows have been barricaded, the door has a metal grill over it, and there is a sign up with DEVELOPMENT IN PROGRESS in the front garden!! It would seem that, in the words of the late Clive Dunn, They don't like it up em!!

Re: complaining about a half way house

Well all I can say is many congratulations to you, you have done in a very short while what others have been fighting for years to get done in their own areas, you must put the recipie down here for all to see so that they can follow your lead. I think once you've done that, then you should consider standing for local parliament, you could become Prime Minister within say...... oooooo....... a year or two.

I'm not doubting whats happened but I think that maybe just maybe that they've had shed loads of complaints and this latest episode has been the final straw.

Re: complaining about a half way house

I'd doubt the authenticity of the letter,,the author appears to be 'bigging' themselves up cos High Courts don't deal with such matters,,they have no powers where this is concerned.
If they have boarded the house up they may well find themselves unboarding it cos eviction is never this easy,,it takes rock solid proof,diaries,police reports (a lot of them),,I know cos we went through it as I said ^^up there.It all seems too quick...and if it doesn't sound right ,it probably isn't.
Don't let it drop Puff,,you all need total unequivocable written proof that the problem isn't going to resurface as soon as they think you lot are off their backs.

Re: complaining about a half way house

That's brilliant Puff - very well done and am so pleased for you. I hope you don't mind me suggesting - do ask the LL what he next plans to do with the property. "Stonham" are the people contracted by the government for "Approved Housing" (what used to be bail hostels) if it's any help or relevance. http://www.homegroup.org.uk/careands...rdsneeded.aspx
