to ask you to help me sleep - bloody helicopter

[sawseesaw]

It's been up there for over an hour. I need sleep.

Get off the internet, that'll keep you up more than a helicopter will.

Sorry sawseesaw we're a cry it out family!

Do you have a fan? The white noise of a fan always helps me sleep, if not maybe a radio on very quietly?

If you've got a smartphone, download the White noise app.

Where are you? I too am being kept awake by a droning helicopter! No need!

There's a helicopter here too!! Although I'm not in bed...just procrastinating on MN

There's a helicopter over our house EVERY BLOODY NIGHT! Either wakes me up or stops me falling asleep.

I used to think they were searching for criminals, but apparently it's the local base doing night manoeuvres.

I live in a terrace.....be funny if you are all my neighbours!

Alas don't think it's manoeuvres where I am!

Helicopters here too.
There's rioting going on.

You in Belfast Dione?

I moved up north, I don't get helicopters any more, I kind of miss them TBH. I'm the one that would be at the window or out in the street trying to see what was going on. No help at all am I? Sorry I hope you get to sleep soon.

Yeah Sista. You?

Oh no Dione are you in NI? Hope you and your family are safe.

No manoeuvres here either, just London...

Yep Dione I too am in Belfast! Although not near the drama thankfully

Oh Dione, that's scary. Hope you're ok.

Thanks for the concern Lechat. We are fine. Unfortunately helicopters here are the soundtrack of summer. Every summer.

those helicopters are very useful. noisy. but useful.

Say "row" six times in a row at increasing speed but decreasing volume repeatedly until you are asleep. Row as in argument not as in sailing.

sawseasaw London as well? The fuckers hover over the South Kilburn estate all night.

Helicopter hovering here as well. Not sure what's more annoying though, the helicopter or DH's snoring!
