Pssst? commies! Fargle apologises, he is busy this morning (had to fly over to Cuba on my behalf - something to discuss with Fidel before he carks it), but he put me in charge of telling you guys like it is.

I read this and laughed because I feel if you are gonna take someone to court becuase of noise and are gonna use a noise ordinance you should read the whole ordinance. The case was tossed because it only applies to peddelers, hawkers, bum etc out in the street disturbing the piece. Not two lil girls having fun in their pool. I could honestly see if they were doing it all the time but since its the beginning of summer and the girls are out during the day i say put on some head phones or go out. Funny thing a 75 year old neighbor living in the same complex and well within hearig range had no problem with the noise. If anyone would be complaining if it was really bad it would be the 75 year old. Kids are kids and there was no mention of constant noise, JUST when they are in the pool. its summer let them have some fun

Fast Reply---Just my opinion I have to say that I can see both sides of the fence. Yes, let them be kids and have fun. But then I was taught as a child that you did not go outside screaming your fool head off either. We lived in the country and no one around to care but we still were not allowed to run around like wild animals. When you live in a city you need to be conscious of your neighbors also. One of the girls seemed to be old enough to know better. I don't remember ever being so noisy even living in town with a pool that neighbors had to complain about us. It is just a different time where parents aren't teaching their children basic manners. Where is mom and dad when they are shouting and screaming. I tend to get migraines and when I have one the last thing I want to hear is my daughter giving her best impression of someone that is being killed. Believe she can scream loud enough for people two blocks away to notice.

I'm with you on this one, mypath. I have two ums, girls, and they play in their kiddie pool, and are allowed to splash and laugh as much as they want...but NO SCREAMING is allowed. I can't take it, I don't think my neighbors should have to take it, and I don't want them growing up thinking that they can shriek at the top of their lungs just because they are outside. when they visit the neighbors and play on the trampoline, the same rules apply...once again, NO screaming. parents seem willing enough to lay down rules, but in the end, I think that when it comes to enforcing them is where they fall short, which is a shame in so many ways, in both the long term and the short term. it's too bad that some parents don't realize the benefits to them of raising well-mannered kids - that well-mannered kids are welcome at their friends' homes more often [:D]

E Do they own, or rent? If renting, sometimes you can have them booted out. He rents - not that he pays for it of course, its all on the taxpayer. I've complained to the letting agent - not interested. I even searched the UK Land Registry and found out who owns the place - a woman 20 miles away, and she's not interested either. Next up is the local council that covers his rent for him, but the problem there is, they have nowhere to move him to so they wont move him anyway. Crikey I love this neighbourhood. I wish we had more Muslims and fewer addicts. Never hear a peep from the Muslims, and they behave themselves well too. Ideal neighbours, if they spoke English. E I'm sorry you're stuck, Lady E; I know this isn't an ideal scenario, but is there another place in the neighborhood you could move to? It seems most Muslims are very neighborly, except for the combustible ones. [8\|]

Thanks Level - I'm working on getting into a position to sell this place soon now. Dont get me wrong, when I first lived in this area, 15 years ago, it was much worse; honestly, we had wild west style fights at the pub over the road (we had four pubs within two hundred yards of one another - two now closed thank goodness) with on one occasion someone actually coming through the window into the street! Unlike the films though, the guy didnt get up again. E

And when we went somewhere to visit, we sat, and we sat quietly; no running amok, picking shit up, and acting like tasmanian devils. I can't begin to thank my parents enough.

quote: ORIGINAL: SeeksOnlyOne i have not yet heard if anyone went to the people before filing the court case and asked them to keep it down. if they didnt do that, shame on them. once while on vacation, while lying on a float in a pool, the parent of 3 adorable kids told them to quit splashing each other because they might get me wet. i laughed and said i am in a pool-as long as they dont jump in the middle of my float-let them be kids. i find the sounds of kids being kids pleasant, but then im a manager of an elementary school cafeteria and have years of experience of blocking it out. i have to say, this ending in court, to me anyhow, is dumb as hell. I agree, hearing kids playing outside is one of the nicest things about summer. Kids need to be kids.

Trampler -> RE: Noisy neighbors? (6/22/2007 9:22:13 AM)
I don't have any kids yet, But I have to agree with the general consensus that kids need to be taught to not yell and shriek,(unless they are in trouble.) Yes kids should be allowed to be kids,(after all childhood doesn't last that long.) But if parents want their kids to have good manners as adults, they need to be taught NOW. Common sense.

E LadyEllen, "until" 3 a.m.?" That's an easy problem to solve! You just start the BAGPIPE music when they start settling down! That's what I used to do and I mean LOUD! I have a super duper Bose Stereo system and it really cranks with no distortion. It's like being in the Highland Glens. Two hours of that should give the drunks a message! Or better still, do it when they wake up hung over! lol "GOD! What the fook is that!!!" Then,.....you turn it up louder!

LadyEllen -> RE: Noisy neighbors? (6/22/2007 9:41:10 AM)
sounds OK Popeye, except on the other side is a young family with kids in bed, you know?I'm sure they can hear the piss heads too though - they really dont give a fuck for or about anything. If one took them out in the street and blew their brains out down the drain, the standard of living for everyone else would rise, you know? I've done a fair bit of early morning noise back - I have a bodhran, but that didnt work. I've started hammering and stuff. I even got my electric guitar cranked up one morning. Not a murmur from them - totally oblivious, pissed up and passed out. They usually wake only when the booze wears off around early afternoon. E
