Oh, I suppose you'd better hear this week's Lynelle St gossip then...

The house next door (western side) was burgled for the 7th (yes, that's
right) time in 18 months, and the owners of the house next door on the
eastern side had their car broken into (nothing subtle, just the usual
smashed windscreen) and everything stolen from within.  

I have had the usual obscene threatening phone calls about my amateur radio
purportedly causing interference to TVs in the area (at least, that's what
I think they're on about, as all I hear is a rough female voice saying
"shove that fucking radio up your arse or I'll fucking do it for
you").  Funny thing is I haven't even transmitted on it for at least 6
months!

All in all though, it's a pretty salubrious suburb...

Regards, Bill
