to be a bit fed up that a neighbour's child has been blowing into a recorder (no notes just blowing) for about 4 hours

it goes
hoo hoo hoo SQUEAK hoo hoo hoooooooooo hooo SQUEAK
Am having visions of snapping it

shall I say something?

I think your very tolerent (sp) I would have broken it over their head by now!

I think Greensleeves once posted about her ds playing a penny whistle when they were out with friends and her friend said 'will you stop that horrible noise' and greeny was most upset.
Sorry Greensleeves!!

I am also of the beating them unconcious with the bleeding thing persuasion. Is the child's parent wearing earplugs or something?

sorry, i will stop her now. she has been keepi9ng the pigeons out of the garden.

Not unreasonable. But then again I just bought my DD one of those hoses that you swing round and it makes a whistling noise. We have retired neighbours one side and a couple with 2 quiet teens the other. We all get on well so I guess I should confiscate the hose!

I think you should find an advert for recorder lessons and put it through their letter box. - they may just get the message!

and they won't know exactly which neighbour put it through the door, although probably not hard to find out - the one with the migraine!..

well done you I say for putting up with it for so long - I would have to have gone out!

I think you are being very tolerant. Earlier on I heard what I thought was an engine beiong revved over and over for about 30 minutes without a break. iw ent out to investigate, only to find it was a young lad with a strimmer who was switching it on and off over and over and over again. i nearly strimmed him somewhere painful

Hmm - clearly the mum is immune to the noise, or she would have stopped it long ago. Can you turn on some music that will drown out the sound?

oh thank god it has stopped

Where do you live, my child has been doing that for ages but I thought it was ok as the neighbours were at work!!!!

Phew we are about 200 miles away, unless it really was THAT loud??
Have now confiscated it till he is old enough to read the lessons book that came with it as I realise I hadn't considered the neighbours eardrums. It just seemed a more pleasant noise than the broken record type chunnering he seems to have been at the stage of for far too long now.
