    There's a house in my town that has graves in their garden

    Personally, I find cemeteries to be quite peaceful rather than creepy.

    I'd be pleased. It's better to be near a cemetery for my experiments.

    I've found a really nice flat in a sought after area of London that I want to put down an affer for. My only problem is that it's right next to a cemetery.

    I'm not superstitious or anything, but the idea of corpses being a stone throw away just doesn't feel normal. Would anyone feel the same?
    A flat next to Highgate Cemetary? Is this your first or your second million?

    Lol no, I've been working for 6 years. I would have got a house 3 years ago in 2009 had I not decided to go back to uni for my MSc.

    Wow. Why do they have graves in their garden?

    Even so, you're doing pretty well, what do you do? And why are you discreetly showing off on TSR without directly looking like you're boasting obviously enough to just infuriate people? And why are you on TSR LOL?

    I work for a consultancy.

    Lol I'm not discreetly showing off, it was really bothering me.

    I'm on TSR because I'm bored and lonely with no girl friends. On a serious note, my mum had a go at me last week for having no friends. She said I have a terrible personality and need to change.

    I have burnt my bridges with a few girls over the past year because we are either very different or I don't consider them genuine friends.
