I would. Next door i used to be plagued with the fat mans lift..not a stannah stairlift mind, a straight up, vertical through the ceiling jobby to lift his 30+ stone bulk and range topping super heavy duty Hummer H5 personnel mobility perambulator (he'd previously killed three of them). Now, i wouldnt ever want to restrict someones mobility...i could even live with his excessive flatus, loud sword and sandal epics on until 2am EVERY morning, barking dogs or his bitch wife who never ever ever says hello (ironically her name is Joy!)...No, it was the company Terry Lifts who basically threw in the installation caused so much vibration i would have cracks in my walls and ceilings...then a long ordeal with environmental health to get them to fix it.... Now, thankfully, he's either dead or in a care home, but ive still got the problem with the dogs...recently Joy and her monosyllabic hillbilly son (who moved in when fatty moved out) havent been there so much..and no dogs..but fekk me when theyre back its a nightmare....i dont mind the odd barking..i fkn love dogs..what does me is when they leave and the canine separation anxiety starts....First, its the fat mongrel (not Joy), who starts howling...then the short arsed sausage thing starts yapping, then they wind each other up....this can go on from 5 minutes to over an hour.. I used a silent dog whistle and blew the ear wax out of my vestibular system, now ive resorted to plugging my ears and screaming, which is surprisingly effective.... As for kids, they arent many round here, but the only one that annoys me is a young girl of about 5...lovely kid, they have a trampoline....which sadly, she fkn loves...and she has this habit of screaming the highest, shrillest primeval squeal youve ever heard..sets my tinnitus off like a fire alarm...but she does it for no reason..none whatsoever. they live a fair distance away, but from my spare bedroom i could have an easy direct line of sight through the trees to the grassy knoll.
Nope, I have no neighbours Living in the countryside I dont have to put up with any anti social neighbours.
report nuisance dogs to local council, they take a dim view of people who leave dogs unattended in properties all day to bark & have powers to remove said dogs from owners.
This is whats installed next door.. Through Floor Lift, Harmony Wheelchair Lift | Terry Lifts his one even had lights and, if im not mistaken, dry ice underneath. I maybe should report the dogs...they dont seem to enjoy Master of Puppets much either. Eyore's got the right idea...buggar off out to the country....im a townie through and through, but i'd love a place with a bit of land..maybe just an acre..enough to not annoy people or be annoyed by them..sadly, there are too many of us on this island.
Start lifting the patio paving slabs ready for the disposal. - Might take your mind off xmas while doing it.
Funky, I feel your pain. I lived for three years opposite 'Larry The Loon' who was a stock car driver, second hand car dealer (=Fkn horse trader!) and home mechanic. He kept his wreck of a stock car in an old coach parked in the road. He used to go off to car auctions or stock car races and return around 1 or 2 in the morning and off-load all his shit using chains and winches in the middle of the road. Most of the crap he came home with had no exhaust and he would just fire it up and park it anywhere up the road. Normally about six at a time. He would even start cutting and welding outside on the drive at night by floodlight. When all the neighbours complained to the council they did nothing. When we complained to the police the cars all mysteriously used to disappear before the cop car turned up. The cops even had the cheek to say once that his banger on the drive looked cool!. Eventually I rang the police to point out that there were six untaxed piles of shit parked in the road and that if they didn't come and do something about it I would. Guess who got the visit from the law?!! On one occasion a man and his wife on a motorbike hit a car whilst passing the coach and the wife who was pillion was killed. I will never forget that incident and a major factor was the inaction of the council and the police. There are many other stories relating to the tw*t including him calling the police because a neighbours sheltie barked at him as they walked down the road and he emerged from under a car he was working on in the street. I would pay for good neighbours because when you get one with absolutely no concept of residential life or good neighbourliness, life becomes hell.
A kilo of Columbian flake in the back of the coach should do the job, then give the drugs squad boys a call :biggrin:
Jeez Funky...you don't like your job & industry, hate your neighbours, don't you think you'd be better off on the Samaritans forum, or failing that, Victor Meldrew's :0)
ironic isnt that in the bible where everyone was barberous and uncivilised until Jebus came along, that the only fkr to help him was a bleedin Samiritan?? The neighbours are fine...next door are ok since fatty shuffled off this mortal coil and they dont use the superlift..its just when the dogs start giving it large..particularly if they kick off @5am when the lad goes off to his morning shift. They can keep that howling up for a few hours let me tell you.
Hi Funky Do the dogs get let out to run in the garden ? you could always make friends and get some treats for the dogs and then they might feel sleepy:wink:
contact enviromental control and file a complaint about noise - keep a diary and ask for noise recording equipment to be installed to prove your case it will take several years of constant complaining (if the council does not block your complaints which they often do) to get a result enlist the help of neighbours and get them to also complain - this can also back fire as these actions lead to complainst of harrassement by you because you are organising compalinst about said nuisance so tread carefully contact your mp when council does not do anything after about 6 weeks of complaining if all of the above fails file a complaint to the council ombudsman against the council for not doing anything or take the easy option just move getting results of stopping noisey neighbours is a pita, it takes years to get results and usually teh police end up getting involved when noisey neighbours resort to violence to enforce their right to make noise and get retribution against interfering people who complain from past experience its the noisey neighbours who run to the police claiming harrassement and the like when threats of violence and intimidation to stop you complaining do work, so expect a visit from the police after the first interaction trying to speak to your neighbours - from past experience do not speak to them & report problems to authorities and have as little interaction with them as possible best of luck you will need it
its not that bad..nothing like when fatty used to use his lift. Anyway, when im back to getting my life back i wont be spending as much time indoors so that can fekkn bark themselves hoarse...one of the problems is they dont get enough exercise..Davros (as i used to call him) would take the dogs out a cpl of times a day (you could hear his chari beeping when he was reversing...no joke), but the small dog just to ride on the footplate!!
Offer to take the dogs out for a walk. After all, your beef is really with their owners. Or have the dogs round at yours during the day. Could get you out of the house into some fresh air. Maybe dogs will recognise you and shut up when you tell them to in the future. I'm lucky. I don't really have any very close neighbours, although an ex-gendarme used to phone me up at 2am and tell me to turn the stereo down. He is a widely recognised complete prat, but he did have a point. The volume level was somewhat anti-social, even for a detached house. I think our dog howls when left alone, but she doesn't get left alone much as a result. And frankly, even if she does howl, no one can hear her and no one cares.
I feel you pain I live next door to bitch queen from Hell... And her screaming I'm not going to say child cause its not human!!!!! I've not had a good nights sleep at home for over 3, years. First she would leave world news on all might with the pips every hour full blast. 5 am is fine to Hoover... Her phone can be heard when you stand over by the other side of the road with all doors nhs windows shut Shouting at 4am to get her mum to get out of bed and get the lazy bitch something!!!! When I saw she was Pregnant I wanted to cry!!!!! Never seen her with a bloke ever.
you can always move, we did only to find yet another neighbour from hell are now on a first name basis with all the local police and it was only after I contacted the local mp to get them on the case that any progress was made
