Once again I needed to get some support from my extended family .....ok I am a saddo and see the support and advice from MN as being part of a very extended large family.

Why aren't you in bed?

Because the speed freak in the next stair is at home.

And he's got his bass WAY loud.

Fucker. Damn him to all hell.

TheLadyEvenstar · 17/08/2010 01:52

Expat...shall we go "sort him" and be MN police? confiscate his sound system and put him on the naughty step?

Grin indeed you caught me!

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 01:57

I'd like to see the back of him. I'm not alone in that. He's another worthless thug that brings out the worst in me, rot him.

fedupofmyname · 17/08/2010 01:58

Ds is awake. What are needing support and advice on TLE, sleep!?

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 01:59

Take some Piriton! That will help you sleep. I'm about to have some myself.

muggglewump · 17/08/2010 02:02

Because I'm a night owl, I have nothing planned for tomorrow, and I'm going to watch DVDs.

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:14

how about sending some very bad vibes towards this tenant, muggle? he's a fucking tweak freak.

piprabbit · 17/08/2010 02:19

Bad vibes are on their way expat.

I am up because I am 40yo and I am allowed to stay up late

Also DD was meant to be visiting her grandparents tonight but got cold feet, so my nice calm evening went for a burton. Am now winding down.

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:21

am going to hit the Piriton here.

WingDad · 17/08/2010 02:21

I'm on sick child watch!

Lucky meee!

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:23

he just woke up DS with his damn bass.

should i ring the police?

WingDad · 17/08/2010 02:25

I think you should expat, but of course on the non-emergency line.

Hope it's all alright soon!

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:28

i'm seriously sick of his shite and honestly wish him the worst. he's a low life piece of scum.

piprabbit · 17/08/2010 02:30

expat - what time will you be up in the morning? Could you share your local radio morning show with him at the crack of dawn?

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:31

no, pipra. that wouldn't work. he wouldn't hear it anyhow. he's a speed freak and when those people crash from that stuff they really do crash out.

he has no neighbours at present but us and a single bloke two floors down.

i'm going to complain in writing to the HA about him, have already printed the letter.

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:32

our flat is a maisonette.

i'm on teh first floor just now (his flat is not a maisonette, it's a second floor flat) and the walls are thudding with his damn bass even down here.

i'm serious, he will do this all night.

dh and the girls thankfully sleep through it.

expatinscotland · 17/08/2010 02:33

I'm starting to hate him. Truly.

piprabbit · 17/08/2010 02:41

I'm not surprised you are starting to hate him.
The letter sounds like a positive step.
Are you keeping a log of the disturbance? Date, time, what effect it had on you and your family etc.

You have my heatfelt sympathy - we used to have neighbours who enjoyed noisy sex (sounds like a bit of a joke, I know) but I grew to loath them heartily.

Livinginoz · 17/08/2010 03:04

I'm in Australia and its nap time!

Expat, I feel your pain, we had a family from hell next door to us. When we complained, the woman said "but I have 5 kids" as if that was an excuse! Hmm

squashimodo · 17/08/2010 03:07

I am the only one still awake now.....
I can't stand h right now. He call our 7 year old a shit and a monster (not to his face) and it got to me, he also seems to think the best way to make ds go to sleep is to punish him(ds has asd/adhd), I think anxiety will make it harder for him to sleep.......can't stand h...am so angry and disgusted with him and his lack of understanding towards ds and his needs...

stepmumtoone · 17/08/2010 03:13

squash can you not get dr to explain to him the ins and outs of adhd?
you must hae learnt about it somewhere get the same people to explain to him, its probably misunderstanding rather than him meaning to upset your son, at least i hope so

muggglewump · 17/08/2010 03:13

Expat-Bad Vibes, going their way.

They sound awful.

I hate my neighbour(s), but at least she just gives me lectures on lawnmowers and then gossips about me on the phone, when I do grilled halloumi on the barbecue.Confused
