Primitive animal (Aussie) neighbour wants to kill me.
Extract from e-mail from my crazy Aussie neighbour:
PS. Larse Now has taken it........ apon himself, to pulling, the Sand Bags, out. He is to stupid, to realize, that there is a drain were the water goes out, anyhow. (His side, of the Bags) If this sort of behaviour continues, somebody could get killed.
Amazing! in all my life I have never before had a conflict with a neighbour, now I have one that no matter what I do don't seem to want to go away. This guy gets nasty when he has had 2 beers, I don't know if it is his former rugby career or what but not only does he spew profanities at everybody but he also thinks he is superman when he is drunk! he has alienated himself from almost all his former friends and golfing buddies in the estate because of his foul temper and language
In 4 years here he has countless times called me (and others) names like "fucking idiot" and told me/us to "shut the fuck up" not in a friendly banter way but with frothing anger and rage, he has the last year three times in front of witnesses threatened me with violence, mostly I have ignored him, but the times with the threats I have asked him to put his fists where his mouth is which usually makes him stomp angrily away.
The reason for the last couple of months sharply raised tension between us is flooding, and his last threat was " I'll put your fucking head into a drain pipe" continued with "are you an idiot" repeated 3 times at the top of his voice and in front of a few other Neighbours.
This time I could feel my blood starting to boil and I knew that he had after all the years of mouthing off reached my limit of patience, as it happened (shows what a total ignoramus he is) next morning he boldly as brass walked in on my porch talking to another neighbour sitting having coffee with me, when I came out from the kitchen and saw him my anger from the day before came up straight away and I grabbed him by the arm and took him outside my property, told him that I have had it with him calling me "fucking idiot" and his threats, I warned him to stay away from me in the future.
In fairness he has got a flooding problem, but his solution is to block the public road and all the drains with sandbags wich in turn have moved the flooding problem to me, I have never before had problems with flooding.

Now I have asked him friendly if he could not put the sandbags in front of his house but he has categorically refused he wanted to flood the estate office next to my home, in the end he conceded to make a hole in the middle about 30 centimetres wide to allow the water to run to working drains on the other side of the bags.
So I naively thought we had a gentleman's agreement, but I was wrong, next big rain all the bags where out again.
This is what it looks like at my house now- while it is bone dry at his end, before the sandbags it used to be the other way round, while I totally sympathise with his problem, I hardly think it fair that he just passes the problem on to others by illegally blocking the public road with his sandbag wall when he could just put the bags in front of his own house leaving the drains and road free.

With my carport being flooded and the cars sending tidal waves up against my front porch, when the rainwater subsides a lot of shit is left everywhere.
