Yep, most of his airports are in the middle of nowhere.

Tbf Prestwick actually has better links to Glasgow than Glasgow airport (no rail link, quashed by the SNP) does! Only in Scotland!
Plus it's a better 'golf' airport (we've got better courses here) ;)

My neighbour has just popped round and informed me that the state of my finances is very worrying and that I should let him take control.
Apparently I don't have the knowledge or the resources to properly manage my affairs, so he is going to take full control of my income and give me back a monthly allowance (obviously less whatever expenses he incurs to provide this service for me).
My home, car, etc. will also become the property of my neighbour, although I will still have full use of them for the time being (providing I continue to pay the mortgage, loans, taxes, etc., and an administration fee obviously).
He has also said that if I don't do it then I won't be able to remain a member of the local social club, apparently there's a Spanish committee member that says that the club won't allow any members in that refuse my neighbours financial services. They've also said that they won't accept my cash there either, and I will have to buy special pound tokens which I can buy at the reception (for a similar amount, less commission charges).
My neighbour also states he has the right to cut my monthly allowance as he sees fit, and can deduct additional costs from my budget if I decide I need to visit the doctor (or want my bins emptied).
My neighbour has also stated that I need to contribute towards him getting away for regular breaks to his favourite city, and I've also got to chip in for the drinks tab for his posh friends that have booked a couple of rooms in the same hotel.
I have to say that I am quite sceptical of his offer, and how it is actually going to improve my life and my finances, but he is adamant that we will be Better Together.
Is it possible he might be telling lies?

:)

Sounds like a caring and considerate neighbour, lucky you to have such a good friend looking out for you. :)

Does he spend the run up to each golf club championship telling you how good he is, claiming to belong to the best Sunday rollup in the club and reminding you of his amazing championship victory back in the late sixties? Before lamenting his inevitable elimination by one of those Schmidt brothers (after extra holes, of course).

is your neighbour a Mr A Salmond?

he's got form for this type of behaviour and has been trying this on all over the neighbourhood.

If he's never been in control then how do you know he'll do a good job, maybe he just talks a good game and can't bring any hard guarantee's of what he can offer you ;)

You should say "NO thanks"

If I were you I would keep friendly with the neighbour on the other side of the road who keeps putting money in your bank account so you can afford some of those little extras that you would never afford yourself and neither can he. He also helps keeps a watch over your household so you can sleep safer at night. I hear he has also managed to keep your Social club membership intact even though he's not so keen on the unelected committee and he has even told the new president what he thinks of him. It would be quite disingenuous to dump him for this other bloke!

Some interesting replies.

To surmise, Scotland couldn't afford to be independent, our homes wouldn't be safe if we vote yes and Alex Salmond is a big fat liar whereas whatever Cameron/Carmichael/Milliband/Darling/Osbourne tells us re: Indy is cast iron fact?

Does that about cover the opinion of the previous few posts?
