. . . have had a lovely day in the sun. They have been in their garden for eight hours, chatting, laughing, had a barbeque at lunch. All quite reasonable, you would think, people talking etc is no big deal. No other neighbours were in their gardens, however, despite the lovely day. Why? The music. It was so loud they weren't chatting, they were SHOUTING their inanities to each other. That might have made their day, but they ensured they wrecked everyone else's. Selfish gits. DD

    Probably wouldn't work with a BBQ but, when we had one who played Radio 1 at full volume, we used to find a spot of retaliatory Beethoven or Mozart often did the trick.

    this not the first time you have had trouble with them is it. i am sure they do not realise how bad they are most people think they are being reasonable when they are acting like morons. you could always sit out with personal sterio on with music to your taste and ask them for a burger save cooking val

    DD, here's how to take your revenge:
    Wait until 4am, put your speakers against the party wall and then put the 'Neighbours' theme tune on at full blast.

    'Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours...'

    I used to live next door to people like that. Only they didn't stop at BBQ's with deafening music, it was 24/7 noise, music, singing, banging, drilling, you name it, they did it.

    I love the idea with putting the neighbours theme tune on, love it!!

    Must be something about warm weather makes people think there is a need that the rest of us need to be entertained with loud music...... Sad......

    DD I so agree with you. I like people to have fun but why does very loud music have to be part of the deal. I love music but never play it loud out of respect for my neighbours although i've been tempted a few times. Also my son being autistic freaks at music and won't go outside and windows have to be closed(which is awful in the hot weather) when it is being played so it really aggravates me.

    Ithink I will just go outside and blast my music next time my son is away!

    I play loud music when I am outdoors, the difference being it's on my MP3 so only I can hear it. I do have the wit to recognise that not everyone else shares my taste in music but they, like many, don't. Normally they are pretty quiet, we don't know they are there, but the sun brings them out and they like a good time. So do we all, but our own good times, not theirs. It's a huge, extended family, she's with her third bloke (he has now moved in) but the exes come round, her sis is on her second bloke (she moved out but comes back for the party) and they are all naturally 'loud' people. They could not have a quiet conversation if they tried. :roll: They are pleasant enough people on the whole, just thoughtless. DD

    He (the new resident boyfriend) took a chainsaw to my wisteria earlier this evening. I have no problem with that, it was overhanging their side of the fence and they are entirely within their rights to cut it back. I would, however, have appreciated a knock on the door and a 'This is what we would like to do, do you mind?'

    He's a builder, built like a brick outhouse, looks like a chimp. Apparently he's called 'Keef'. DD

    If there's one thing I've learned from my ju jitsu lessons with Ra, it's 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall' lol
    Especially when they're called Keef...
    Ra once fought five blokes at once, all called Keef, all big as houses, only took Ra ten minutes to have them all crying for their Mammas..
    True story :grin:
    I'll send him down if Keef gives you any bovva DD. :wink:
