Hi,

You may only live a stone's throw away from the rest of the community, but you certainly shouldn't do that if you live in one of these houses. I wonder what sort of house that would be.

I wonder where all the riddlers are?

Michael? Spencer? ;)

I don't think Alan wants me to "spill the beans" here.... ;)

Hi together!

I think, under this circumstances the house, in which I live, is a Glasshouse!

Hi Michael,

Exactly. The full saying is:

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones - meaning don't crtiticize other people about faults that you have yourself.
