Musical Neighbours?

Oh joy of joys. Next door seem to have aquired an electric keyboard. I am being regaled with chopsticks, the Eastenders theme and Three Blind Mice. What a delight.

Wait till they find the drum section, neighbours over the back fence from us have a dear little muppet who is trying to play the bagpipes. :evil Mig

Our upstairs neighbour works as a singing drag queen ; we have the joy of listening to him practise endless Steps and Bucks fizz songs . Would be ok if he could sing in tune ! Jillyb

It's one finger playing, Eastenders to a reggae beat is mildly amusing the first time but thereafter . . . . . As for you jillyb1 - only in Brighton, hon! DD

True , DD , very true ! It was Brighton Pride weekend last sat and sun ; we tend to stay quietly at home then as the city is completely taken over by pink mankinis ! Jillyb

You could buy them headphones...they might take the hint

I have very civilised neighbours, they are both lovely respectable middle aged Drs (GP & Consultant) ....until they have a few too many glasses of wine and then they love a rousing rendition of the sound of music :roll:

(yes for the eagle eyed of you I am the lady with the Dr Hubby, ....its dr row round here approx 1/2 the street works for the NHS....within our block of 8 houses within the terrace we have 2 GP's, 4 Hospital Docs, 1 Speech Therapist, and 2 nurses)

Oh jillyb1, pink mankinis? I guess rehab wasn't there then, his is green (or so I understand). I am lucky with the neighbours on both sides, they are generally pretty quiet, I guess things are different as it's the hols (that affects the keyboarders). The house two doors up is being completely refurbished and modernised, now that has been very noisy since May. It's alright for the owners though, they are out at work all day!

What an NHS-loaded terrace you have Chrissie, mine goes housewife/dock worker, teacher/company secretary, haridresser/builder, vet's receptionist/delivery driver, two teachers (married in the traditional gender mix) retired female teacher (slightly dotty), housewife/accountant-type husband, housewife/accountant-type husband, then two houses rented out to whoever, none of whom speak English. It's nowhere near as friendly as it used to be, we none of us see each other on a day-to-day basis. DD

Ah, nieghbours. They have often been the bane of our recent life...

Immediately next door: in and out of rehab/prison/stinks of the plant based hallucinogenic/doesn’t understand how to close a door quietly/has a tendency to want to stab people, opposite: mentally disturbed but never a bad word for us or from us, below: old and believes he runs the entire close, won’t let anyone (even my parents for ten minutes) park in his parking space out front despite not having a car and having TWO spaces (one for his flat, one disabled space), below across one: teacher/bouncer who you definitely want on side, especially when rehab/prison guy is around, a few doors down: the most amorous couple you will ever meet (although we still don’t know what they look like as they are far too interested in staying in and enjoying each other’s company), opposite but one: single mum with three out of control teenage daughters....

Never a dull moment.
