We act silly, cause we is..................
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 @ 12:30 AM
It's THAT time of year AGAIN !! We've got them ALL.......
 
So it's a hot day so off we go to the Communal pool. Shower and attempt to climb down the metal steps...............no chance.............4 kids hanging off them with a definate reluctance to move and giving rather rude finger signs.......................so, lets not cause a fuss..............walk to the other end of the pool and down the ( new ) Roman steps. Well, half way down 'cos a group of lads/men are sitting on the third step down.
Errrrm.................can I pass you please ?
What ?
I'd like to get in the pool.
Well use the other steps Granny ( Moi ? )
If you could just move over a bit ?
OK Granny ( Moi ? ) we're off for a beer anyway.
They didn't go far, just round the pool side and out came the cans and Yes, there is a notice about only having plastic bottles but no one takes any notice AND they were all bigger than me, so I just swam for a bit.
And it was a bit, because within five minutes they were back, all five of them. One jumped in ( RULE...............NO jumping or diving ) , then the other four bombed the first one ( RULE.........NO bombing ).
Soooooooo, lets break ALL the rules........but PLEASE don't drownd Moi while you're doing it !!!!
There followed a hectic game of 'sit on my shoulders' water polo ( with....guess what.?...an inflatable ball ) and most of the pool water was out of the pool AND so were ALL the other swimmers.
Mobile phone ( only a bit wet ) to the ready, quick phone call to the one who must be obeyed ( according to the Horizontal Property Law......it's unfortunate that most people have never read it !! ) and enter El Presidente..................
Well it only took five minutes and a lot of rude words ( NOT from El Presidente, of course ) to resolve the situation and I thought that was that !!!
WRONG.
When we returned later that night from our local quiz ( ok, so it was 1am !! ) there was a note stuck under our door informing us that some tenants ( guess which ones ) were throwing lit cigarette ends and empty cans from their balcony into the pool. And sure enough, floating in the pool were several beer cans. The cigarette butts didn't go as far but there were several on the pathway by the pool.
So, El Presidente e mailed the owner to tell him that there had been complaints.
Apparently the tenants have moved out ( yes, they were the ones in the pool doing the bombing ) and the owner wanted to know how El Presidente knew who had chucked stuff over the balcony as he was not actually there and how much beer had actually gone into the pool ?
AND perhaps they had done it by accident ??
So it makes a difference how much beer is thrown into the pool then ?? Just how much is acceptable ?? Perhaps I'll find the answer in the Horizontal Property Law ??
