    Actually... re-reading this... how about the local KB gang show up on your front lawn early one morning looking for you...?!?

    Leave all the bikes idling while we stop for a coffee or 5? Shouldn't take more than an hour LOL

    Why stop at the local KBers?? We will warn the others in the street first of course.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Ask him after what time of the day it would be acceptable. If he doesn't think any time at all is acceptable, fuck him, carry on as normal. You made an effort, now he can piss off and find somewhere else to live.

    Oh - and what NC30 said if he continues being a cock.

    A few questions to you :

    1. Is he bigger then you ?

    2. Has he got some blackpower/mongrelmob freins ?

    3. How attached are you to your house ? ...your car ? your pet ? ....your ....

    4. Do you really want a war ?

    Perhaps you can talk to him. If you are not hazzeled by the police/noise control then just speak to him nicely and defuse him.

    The guy may have hearing like mine - I have really sensitive hearing and hear things that most other people can't, and I know for a fact that drumming would 'get to me' so to speak. Is this guy only complaining about the one hour lesson on a Saturday morning? If so, he is being a bit unreasonable, but does your son practice during the week? If he is drumming for a few hours a day as well, then sorry, but I'd be complaining too.

    When we lived in town I could hear this thumping bass at 1am and knew there was nothing I could do about it unless I found out where it was coming from. I got dressed and went for a walk to track it down - believe it or not, it was coming from 800m away (I know the distance because I worked in the next street) - it was the bar at the police station!

    We were also driven mad by the Jake the Muss wanna-be across the road who would crank the stereo up at 6pm on a Friday and it would still be going at 10am the following morning. The music was so loud our windows would vibrate! Noise control were too scared to do anything, so we had to put up with it until he got evicted for not paying his rent.

    Some noises affect some people more than others - I can't bear the sound of wind turbines whereas my husband can't even hear them. I hear a friend's pacemaker ticking - he can't even hear it! So if your neighbour has hearing like mine, then I can sympathise with him. I used to dread coming home from work because I'd be subjected to noise from at least four or five neighbours - the guy next door like to take three hours to mow a pocket-handkerchief sized lawn; the guy over the back had the radio tuned to sports all year round and liked to sit outside and listen to it; Jake always had his stereo going; his neighbour would try and drown him out, and the old lady across the road would have the tv on so loud you could turn the sound down on yours.

    People work hard and like to relax when they come home and in order to relax, peace and quiet is desirable. You may have had very accommodating neighbours in the past - or very deaf ones - and this guy may not be unreasonable.

    I'm just bloody glad we were able to afford a place in the country - the noisiest things we have to deal with now are new-born lambs and the dawn chorus!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Talk about thread dredging. BTW, MSTRS, did you ever sort him?

    Old thread - more or less a dead issue now. However, just to clarify....the neighbour is a white guy about 50. He is married. Their only visitors are their grown son, so I assume he has no friends. He is a bully, cos he knew my wife & I were both out (he thought my son was on his own - but drum tutor was there) so tried to intimidate our lad. Put his foot in the door so Zac couldn't close it. Told him that the 'noise' was disturbing him so he couldn't concentrate on his work (he was mowing his lawns for fecks sake). Zac would not be intimidated & told the guy to "Fuck off". We are not unreasonable people & appreciate that we have neighbours on 4 sides (if you count across the street). We have spoken to all the neighbours up to 3 houses away & none have a problem. It is just this guy. Strangely, he doesn't complain to my wife or I, just tries to bully the young fella. I am proud to know that Zac won't roll over to this guy. Since being stood up to, we've not heard a dickybird from this wanker.
    Just an aside - we have been here 6 years & never a problem until this guy moved in about a year ago. We have had one social gathering (wasn't really a party as I understand the term) and with no warning this guy sent noise control around at 11.30 on a Saturday night. Noise control stood at our front door & said "What noise? Our complainant must be a right tosser".
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hah good thing he's finally shut up, then.

    My uncle Ray had a brilliant idea for neighbours you don't like - dig out the electric guitar, crank up the amp to full noise and...








    ... practise your scales!

    That's the secret to total mind-fucking payback. If you play a tune of any description, even if the person hates the song or the genre, they can at least appreciate it being played well - but no one likes or appreciates scales (apparently Beethoven did but that was probably a side effect of his mother having syphillis when he was born)
    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    Scales are good....full noise is better......2x electric guitars AND the drums is almost the best. But Zac's latest music wish is to learn the.......BAGPIPES. That will not be beaten for neighbourliness.
