What are your neighbors like? (The ones you live near or next to, not the ones in your Vox neighborhood!)

I couldn't ask for better neighbours - Jamesdownstairs very quickly became a real friend after it transpired that we already had some mutual acquaintances.  For the past ten years, it's been like an edgier episode of Friends; running into each other's flats in our jimmers for cups of tea (or gin) and gossip.  We've heard each other's rows with boyfriends (and pretended that we hadn't) and also heard various naughtiness (with subsequent teasing).  When I got made redundant a few years ago, J got me a job at his friend's agency - the same thing happened to him last year and he's working there now - it's like a half way house for bewildered travel agents.  We also have very similar taste in music so neither of us complains if it's on too loud and we've been to quite a few amazing gigs together.

In more recent years, my succesful campaign of indoctrination has meant that various of my Vox neighbours are now neighbours in real life as well so I couldn't ask for more.
