"Sorry, but I just don't like you well enough to want you for a neighbour" - surely that can't be illegal discrimination, if it's based on the individual themselves, and not on their race or colour or creed and all that stuff. I'd have thought that playing games disguising it as something else would be much more likely to end up in court.

I'm reminded of the story about the man who wanted to keep his railway compartment to himself. This would have been in the days when trains in England had compartments with six or eight seats, and this would have been a train without any corridors.

So he sticks his head out of the window, puts on a leering expression and starts beckoning anyone who looks as if they might get into his compartment. They back off in horror and get in soemwhere else. So itb works. Then at the last minute he does that again - and the person approaching leers back, and climbs in the door as the train pulls out...

I think Saki used that one - but I can't remember what happened next.

But the moral is, best notbtry to be too clever about these things.
