Another neighbourly dispute, same neighbours that claimed our cat was teasing their dog, and the same neighbours who accused us of stealing blackberries off their bush that happened to grow over my fence.

Well if I hadn't thought they were ridiculous before, I definitely do now.

Woke up this morning to find a note through the door saying they have had a new piano delivered and due to space they were limited on places it could go indoors (not our problem) they are saying where they have placed it is under a window and their view from the piano is a large oak tree which is in our garden. Their problem is that they are saying the many birds nests that are in this tree are distracting and these wild birds are making too much noise therefore distracting them from the piano.

There isn't even a suggestion in the note of what they'd like us to do about it. Not that I would even consider taking any action towards the tree but FFS what on earth are they doing? They don't have a bloody leg to stand on??

Andy should be back from Bora Bora this Tuesday. I've marked it in my diary lol As for those worrying about his privacy. Well, if he chooses to post daft stuff on a public forum like FB, then he can wear big boy pants and deal with the reaction or even notoriety for being an utter buffoon.

Is good old Andy back tomorrow OP?! how's the tree and birds? Nice and lively ready to serenade his glorious return I hope!

AcrossthePond55 · 31/10/2016 18:33

Ooooh, Andy's back tomorrow?

I say we all gather at OP's house and sing 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree' in 4 part harmony with appropriate tree decor as he pulls into the drive! You with me, gang?

SoleBizzz · 31/10/2016 18:46

Andy is out if his tree.

JoffreyBaratheon · 01/11/2016 11:50

Shame he missed Halloween. The whole neighbourhood could have got their kids to dress up as birds and go and knock on his door.

Wookiecookies · 01/11/2016 12:09

So excited, Andy is home today right? Im on the edge of my seat here waiting for the next installment of 'feathergate'! Come back Op and update us stat!

Grin🤗

Adnerb95 · 01/11/2016 13:11

Well???

RetroImp · 01/11/2016 14:04

This thread just keeps on giving! Part of me wonders if Andy's wife accidentally put their boat on full throttle and Andy went overboard...

SapphireStrange · 01/11/2016 15:57

Anyone else got a mental image of the rather anarchic birds from Roobarb and Custard, sitting in the tree giggling and taking the piss as he plays his godawful piano?

SoleBizzz · 01/11/2016 16:08

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Andy the pain

Don't worry there's more

Mummyrowland · 01/11/2016 21:23

Wow what an idiot (him by you!) I hope he doesn't do anything to the tree! I'd be getting nesting boxes etc as is it illegal to disturb nesting birds. Obv they aren't nesting currently but come spring it protects the tree

Blueemeraldagain · 01/11/2016 21:30

Ahh, I've just seen this thread reappear on "active threads" and squeaked "the crazy bird piano man must be back from holiday!" to my DP. He is doing a super Hmm face.

LittleBooInABox · 01/11/2016 22:06

Haha!

Please can we have an update if there back this thread is hilarious!!

SundialShadow · 02/11/2016 22:49

Agreed, we need to know what happened next in the Andy and the birdies saga.....

GeekLove · 02/11/2016 22:53

I think you should apologise for all the noise and heartache you've caused Andy. But in the language of a crow.

Teacupinastorm · 02/11/2016 23:14

This is the best thing I've read all day!

justilou · 03/11/2016 11:14

Is it just me, or does someone else think that Bora Bora is code for "Home for the Bewildered"?
If he was a major bigwig in the city, why is his Facebook open to anyone? Obviously he'a desperate for any attention at all. Can't wait for the next installment!

mikeyssister · 03/11/2016 11:50

Can't believe there's no update yet.

OnionKnight · 03/11/2016 12:07

Can't believe there's no update yet.

I can, the OP isn't obliged to give one.

thetemptationofchocolate · 03/11/2016 12:14

I hope the OP hasn't been arrested for strangling Andy with piano wire.

A pp mentioned the manic birds in Roobarb & Custard - YES!! That's exactly the picture I had in my mind :)

mikeyssister · 03/11/2016 13:00

I know she's not "legally" obliged, but there is such a thing as a moral obligation surely??

My life has been on hold while Andy has been in Bora Bora Blush

KarenW · 03/11/2016 15:48

Any update? Hoping that relaxing in Bora Bora has left Andy chilled, and he will cease and desist with the bird harassment!

pipsqueak25 · 03/11/2016 16:20

if op has been arrested for attempted murder let's crowd fund her bail Smile mikey know what you mean !!

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 04/11/2016 12:43

Have the birdies secured legal advice on noise nuisance caused by the piano yet, OP?

Sincerely hoping you've had no more issues with Andy, but this thread has been such a joy to read!

Lilianna123 · 07/11/2016 22:33

Update!!!!!!!! Andy got home early hours of yesterday morning and we have just arrived back from Berlin.

Sure enough, after being home for not even a day, Andy had left another note.

This time, he tells us what a fabulous holiday he and Jane have had but now they are back he needs to get back on track with things at home. So now along with the tree, he has decided that our trampoline is an eyesore from his (SPARE) bedroom and could we move it to a more suitable position?

We are yet to get back in touch
