Hehehe, when laying in a quiet room, sometimes I can swear I hear a television playing out of some corner, even though, when I sit up, all is silence. I swear, though, I'll even hear coherent words from time to time. It would be annoying, but it's kinda cool. If there's an actual television playing in the next room, though, I go nuts and start banging on the wall.

If I did that they would probably bust down the fence and smash all the windows, who knows what.

Nah, they'd just laugh their asses off. This could be useful, though.

Me too. I only start banging if it is something clicking, sweeping, etc.

When I was in uni I became so isolated and was always hearing these clicking noises. I had a large piece of wood and went a bit mental smashing it to bits against the wall.

The worst clicking noise comes from pipes and radiators. I have to have the radiator turned off in my office even in the winter because it clicks.

Spoke to soon. Now it is the random drunken lady singing. I thought they were just listening to the stereo.

I know I'm a selfish bastard. I enjoy going to gigs and stuff. But right now I want to sleep.

Have a shot of liquor, then, and chalk up one sleepless night your neighbor owes you for. Be sure to write him over it.

If not, do something about it.

...that would actually be effective, with few enough unpleasant consequences to be worth the while.

There are a lot of neighbours here I could probably avoid the consequences. They don't know me they live in different street, not that anyone knows anyone in London really.

I'd just get the neighbor's address, go home, toss back a few shots of liquor, and write a moderately-worded letter demanding compensation for the night's sleeplessness. It's more productive in the long-term. Builds better relations and all.

nah I would never do that. They might try to be friendly. That could be awkward.

RB you’re not wrong. Didn't 50 cent get pelted off stage, where they threw deck chairs and a paddling pool at him? That's a liability.

Stick to black metal, you can't go wrong.

I'd like to hear Latino black metal...just out of sheer perversity, perhaps, but still...

they have quieted down a bit. I might take a leaf out of SeriousGirl's book and start playing some really crashing classical music or maybe do some Yodeling. :D

What has happened to SeriousGirl? Is she really in the witness protection program for real? I need her, she could use her laser eyes to burn holes in their temples.
