Don’t I know it. Part of my job involves out main guys checking out buildings to assess potential danger if there’s damage or whatever.
If a member of the public calls something in that isn’t something relating to new construction work, it’s always perfectly fine, they just don’t like their neighbours or, usually, are racists who don’t like that non-white folk are building.
Can’t explain it but they’re always lying and it’s so clear. It’s come to the point I genuinely ask “is it actually dangerous or are you complaining about the work?” They always come out with something about the safety of children and double down.
Not seen the movie.
Best friends is up and down. Had one definitive best friend who died around 5 years back and I’ve got a few clusters of friends, such as school pals, people I’ve been in bands with.
Though in the past year a bunch of work pals and old bandmates have come together and formed a new band just to have fun with, cos we’re all getting on a bit and need a hobby I suppose. It’s been really nice seeing them very often, bringing people from one element of my life into the fray with those from another.
I don’t think I’ve felt more friendship than right now in a long time because of this!
