Ok, I know it's Saturday evening and not especially late, but...

  1. We're in fucking lockdown;
  2. They are shouting, screaming and whooping;
  3. I'm volunteering at a vaccination centre tomorrow morning and want to have an early night.

Please talk me down.

@LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour

I've reported online. Will be surprised if they respond, tbh.
Just tell them it was a group of women having a vigil for someone who was murdered. They will show up then.
LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour · 13/03/2021 22:46

@Meezer2

You have my sympathies for both the party and your javelin arse... I've not had JA for a while fortunately but dread it showing up.. hugs.
Thanks. I only get it mildly.

It's a sort of shooty up-the-arse pain associated with totm.

If I'd been reading this 2 days ago, I'd be talking you down. Tonight I am starting to feel like I'm in a communist state with no right to leave my house for fear of being arrested or to be less dramatic, questioned by the police what I'm doing or where I'm going.
I'm starting to feel like protesting. Oh wait, that's not allowed.
How long more must this go on. Supposing next winter there's a rise in numbers again? And every winter going forward? Does lockdown become part of life and should we accept it?

On reflection, I feel like someone needs to talk me down right now.
Hopefully wine will make me feel better.

Devlesko · 13/03/2021 22:47

I'm hoping to find out what javelin arse is.

Devlesko · 13/03/2021 22:48

Aw, posted too late.
Yes, I remember that, I don't get it anymore. stopped when I was about 38.

LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour · 13/03/2021 22:48

They've quietened down a bit (although I can still hear them). Going to try to sleep.

Thanks everyone. Wine

Night OP! Hope the vaccinating goes well

Whiskeyontherocks · 13/03/2021 22:51

How did you make so much racket?
It was a disco themed 50th, we had linked the call up to our TV & sound system. I did apologize profusely to my neighbours and gave them wine.

Arcadia · 13/03/2021 22:53

Oh my god I get javelin arse horrifically first day or two of period I've been curled on the floor and nearly vomited due to it. Didn't know it had a name! Started in my early forties I think, now mid. If there any medical info on it anywhere? Or good past threads?

WhoWants2Know · 13/03/2021 22:53

@Arcadia

Same here tonight. Excitable early 20 something girls moved in ND in house attached to ours end of jan, they sometimes do karaoke and it's shrieky. Sometimes have people round too (not many but still not allowed). Pisses me off when I can't see my own family.
Do the excitable 20 somethings have a landlord? That's often an effective way of dealing with noise in rental properties
BornOnTwelthNight · 13/03/2021 22:59

For those of you asking, Javelin Arse is cramp in your anal muscles, can be fucking agony!

I always get in in the middle of the night when I’m sleeping,🤔and I have to pace the house until it eases and can last anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Don’t get it too often thankfully!

MumsTheWordFact · 13/03/2021 23:06

A fucking party? As in an orgy?

mumwon · 13/03/2021 23:11

@BornOnTwelthNight peppermint tea help with bloat (says she drinking a cup) or those kinds of cramps if its related to periods rosemary tea
(please check you have no conditions or taking any medications that would give you side effects with these)
(throws some peppermint tea bags in your direction)

Blancah · 13/03/2021 23:11

Please talk me down.

If ever there was a sentence to make me lose interest immediately, that's it right there.

Arcadia · 13/03/2021 23:13

@WhoWants2Know

Yes I know the landlady and could text her but they're v nice and friendly and don't want to fall out with them if it's a one off (well now a three off!) But just chatting and music now, unfortunately walls are thinner than they probably realise.
Would be v obvious it was us as well, as we are only house attached and it's not noisy outside.
In some ways it's nice to hear 'happy' noise but also extra irritating when we're all so bored and isolated.

shiningstar2 · 13/03/2021 23:16

Why is op 'dressing it up' as a covid case? If it's England it is a covid case. I would not be ringing police to compain but I would certainly be irritated whether I had to get up in the morning or not. We're all forgoing birthdays, weddings ext ext ext. Why do some people think this stuff doesn't apply to them? The rest of us don't keep the rules because we don't have any birthdays to celebrate, we keep them to try and keep our communities safe. Some of us have lost opportunities with loved ones which will never come again so it's someone's birthday doesn't cut much ice. We all want out of this asap.

Saladd0dger · 13/03/2021 23:34

What’s the address I need a party

LindyLou2020 · 13/03/2021 23:40

@LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour

And now I've got fucking javelin arse. Guess I can't blame the neighbours for that, though...
Please enlighten me - what's Javelin Arse? My mind is boggling.........😰😰😰
LindyLou2020 · 13/03/2021 23:44

Sorry - my question has already been answered.
And I've learned a new phrase! 🙄

MegaClutterSlut · 13/03/2021 23:48

I get JA too during the first couple of days when its my TOTM. Its bloody painful

Thanks for the tip I’ll keep that in mind.But I don’t think it’s related to my periods as I never get it around the time I have my periods. It happens so randomly I cannot pinpoint a cause.
@Arcadia mentioned suffering with this kind of cramp when she has her periods so may also find this helpful.

LindyLou2020 · 14/03/2021 00:02

I've just been reading the other thread about Italy being locked down again.
I've HATED the restrictions and loss of freedom, but I've complied with everything. We know that people have been breaking the rules right from the beginning, so the partying described on this thread is nothing new.
But I've noticed whilst going to work, and food shopping, how the amount of road traffic where I live is back how it was pre-pandemic.
And just driving past people, it seems like some have given up social distancing and are interacting normally.
It feels to me that as soon as we had this "road map", and there's been such progress with the vaccines, there's been a belief amongst many people that the crisis is well and truly over.
I just hope that we really ARE over the worst.........

CimCardashian · 14/03/2021 00:06

Javelin arse is when you get shooting pains up your bum. I’ve not had them for a while but jeez it is total agony but thankfully short lived!

OP..... I hope you call the police on your twattish neighbours.

Mother37 · 14/03/2021 01:44

My neighbours sometimes have guests iver for a loud get together even though government say no to household visits. Annoys me as my kids go to school with theirs, and I know they mix with other households. In fairness they go quiet by 11pm but arecstill up causing a racket when my kids are trying to sleep.

SoosanCarter · 14/03/2021 02:03

Javelin arse has a real name. Proctitis Fugax.
