To think if you live in a semi you shouldn't have a live band in your garden.

I thought radios were bad enogh but the fuckwits next door now have their kids and mates with a full set band 6 ft from my house. Amps, full drum kit, guitars, etc. Parents are looking on lovingly.

What time can I call the police.

I'm havng a dinner part tonight, we won't be sitting out and enjoying the garden now. Infact all windows will have to be shut and I can still hear it really badly.

" Oh fuck me fuck me - hard, harder"

"yeah? yeah? you want it do you?"

"Oh yes, give it to me"

"You slut you filthy slut - go on say it, say 'im a filthy slut' "

"I'm a slut, I'm a dirty, filthy slut"

That's our evening entertainment....I'll take the live band any day.

Bloody hell! Do you live next door to a brothel? {grin]

obviously

I've just listened to my neighbours thumping music - again - but maybe I should count myself lucky on hindsight!

Yeah, shout up, "Yes you are a filthy slut, now shut the f**k up"!!!!!!!

I don't think it was unreasonable of the OP to ask them to turn the music down. If the music was so loud that she couldn't hear her husband speak when the doors and windows were shut, then that was too loud, in my opinion.

Communication and compromise are the keys here, I think - letting people know what's happening, and being reasonable about volume, lateness of noise, frequency of parties/bbqs etc.

LOL at MollyRoger

that was the PG version - they have another kink where he pretends he is a black guy with a large appendage....

Of course we're terribly British and never mention it and when we see them we talk about the greenfly problem in the gardens and our wheelie bins.

Sooooo subtle Riven - come on, own up - you really work for the Diplomatic Corps, don't you!

I didn't stop it, I asked them to turn it down. And it was so loud that they couldn't hear me asking them to turn it down, they saw me at the window and had to stop playing to be able to hear me. I think if they hadn't had the amp turned up full it wouldn't have been so bad. I don't expect to not be able to hear them in their garden but just not at that noise level. They could have practised with the amp turned down.

And if I had been told about it earleir I'd have invited my friends over for dinner on the Saturday, not the Friday. Then I'd just have shut the windows and grumbled about it to myself and turned the TV up to try and drown the noise out. But its not much fun having people over for dinner if you can't hear each other talking!
