Karaoke in the garden, it's really fucking rude.

It's with speakers and everything loud volume and she's currently bellowing 'Jolene'...why are people so inconsiderate.

I don't give a shit it's before 11pm on a Saturday I've been trying to get my 1 year old dd to sleep for over an hour and even though all the windows are closed and it's melting in here she keeps trying to sit up and look out the window.

The problem is, the neighbour is larey and I know asking to turn it down will just make them laugh. I don't want to waste police time by asking them to deal with noise! ... shall I post dds nappy through the letter box?!

A loud party going on until 7am is bloody inconsiderate.

Adding 'live and let live' to the end of your post does not make it ok.

Well no police, council or complaints yet. Show me the law that is against parties once every 24 months. Plus our neighbours join in!!

And user1485342611 wrench the stick out of your bum, it must be getting uncomfortable now

What a mature and intelligent response Thecrabbypatty. But of course, anyone who disagrees with you or your behaviour is just an uptight killjoy.

I fucking hate loud people. Cunts the lot of them! YANBU.

You said it user148534261 an infrequent party with prior warning weeks in advance is not unreasonable. And a point of view that disagrees with your is neither unintelligent or immature.

Having a loud party that goes on until 7am is inconsiderate. Giving advance notice does not change that. What choice do your neighbours have if they don't want to fall out with you?

They don't have a choice because it's not illegal. Nor is it inconsiderate because a) they are invited b) they are warned to expect noise. It's a courtesy. They can do what the hell they like with the information. 10 hours out of the entire year is not unreasonable. We live rurally and every one local to us does the same. It would be different if it was a housing estate or we lived in a town. But we don't. And we enjoy the freedom this brings. If it every week, yes complain but once in a while?

The irony in your post is unbelievable.

It's not inconsiderate because they are warned and they can do the heel what they like with the information.

What lovely neighbourly behaviour.

Like, you couldn't compromise and have noise outside until midnight and then bring it inside?

I am extremely neighbourly. Everyone is welcome! Noise is reduced by 50% at midnight, but 100 people laughing and talking is not quiet. Everyone here has at least 1 acre so it's not a huge deal. If I was 5 foot away from our neighbours it would be different. But we have been doing this for years and no one has moaned. Parties if used with discretion are perfectly fair.
