I think 1:30am is reasonable. I used to worry that my next door neighbours noisy bbq's would wake my daughter, but they never do. Most kids sleep through anything, once they are actually asleep. If I got a note I would try to get her to sleep before it really kicked off.


I think Partygirl could be a bit more sensitive however, especially if she's planning another one in a few months. Be nice, you might win people over. Nothing to gain by rubbing people up the wrong way.

I thought you were an old git like the rest of us!



PERISH the thought, how VERY dare you.


Speaking of parties, 2 weeks ago I had a party which wrapped-up about 4.30am. Didn't tell neighbours about it - shame on me. Wasn't mentally loud though, but loud enough to dance.

  • 3 weeks later...

Without the occasional burst of noise, how would you appreciate the defeaning silence? Too much of it and it would be like living in a cemetary.


I thought 1.30 was good to be honest (no doubt the parents had a hand in that) at 40 I don't even get to house parties until that time! lol


Can everyone remember what they did at 18 still or has life beaten the rememberance of any joy into submission?


As for the noise patrol, pointless really if you only having a one off in mind. It wears off after a couple of years anyway. I've had 3 of them over 20 years. No problem. Kinda funny when the police turn up and say a neighbour has complained and you lead them into the garden to point out which one because there all there. Always good to escort them out with a six pack that you found on the street that you'd like them to hand in for you.


Seriously, I think it was nice of you to grab a book and go to bed. Very outgoing and understanding.

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
