There's a guy been practicing singing next door for the entire afternoon... and it's starting to really p155 me off...

I wouldn't mind if he any good but he's not... and it's the same bl00dy song!!

Pinball wizard.

I ask ya... what does one do?

I had a problem of chavs playing their crap on a portable stero outside my house a while back.

Problem was easily solved by opening the windows and playing them some metal much louder then thier £4.99 CD player ever will.

Perhaps that would work, Me and a mate also did this when people did bad signing in the room next to me back in my first year at uni.

It'll be ok once the X-factor auditions are finished, he's probably just practicing for that!

1) Obtain brick, hammer drill, 6mm masonry bit and ear defenders.
2) Don ear defenders.
3) Place brick firmly against shared wall.
4) Hammer drill 6mm holes into brick.
5) Repeat 4) until brick crumbles to dust or singing stops.
6) Replace brick as necessary.

I doubt it's xfactor... he's always getting P1ssed and singing... I think he's in a band or something... and it's always stuff like Zeppelin or GnR or the WHO... or some other rock anthems... so I doubt the metal will suffice... knowing my luck he'll prolly join in!

I like the brick idea tho!

deanvw

shoot him with a bb gun. also when the chav's rnt looking squirt the water pistol at the cd player

baccaman21

since when do chavs listen to the who?

deanvw

when they went to glastonbury

baccaman21

regardless, he ain't a chav anyway... they're a rare breed in Brighton for some reason... he's very much stuck in the late 80's / early 90's in terms of fashion sense... Looks like a reject from Fields of the Nephilim....

This works, I had a little chinese neighbour a while back who was quite fond of the Eurythmics, Napalm Death shut her up

my parents turned ther speakers round top face the wall when someone was annoying them with singing - and played bag pipe music (they wore ear plugs)

Just have to be careful which "metal" you choose as some have become trendified (like Chili Peppers - I know they're not metal, but my mother would say they are, she's 80! ) - classical music ALWAYS works, its why they play it in some bookshops (not Waterstones) - Id suggest playing Apocalyptica, best of both worlds - heavy metal meets classical - they're even better now they have a drummer!

I thought I was the only person in the UK to have heard of Apocalyptica! Didn't know they had a drummer now, I'll have to give some of their newer stuff a listen.

northturton

Two of the cellists left, they got a replacement (Finnish orchestra chap, he's penned some excellent haunting tracks), and a drummer, even some guest singers on a couple of tracks. Their new album appears to have a different guest singer on *every* track... :-(

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalyptica_%28band%29

The Life Burns DVD is highly recommended.

First discovered them when Eurosport were playing Metallica classical music on WATTS, so did some digging and discovered them - they they appeared on this years Eurovision, blew everyone away. Even Wogan was speechless (makes a change!)

Apocalyiptica rule. Epica and nightwish will for as well for a mixture.

THE POINT BEING MY NEIGHBOUR IS A METAL HEAD AND WOULD MOST PROBABLY ENJOY THIS!

Nana miskouri or Joan Baez is the way to go...

BTW - if you like that Apocalyptica you should check out Battle Metalby Turisas... very rousing... in a kind of ironic fashion...

northturton

Well ringing the police / council could prove fruitless, we rang due to a 2pm - midnight back garden party with sad 80s music blaring at full decibels and the stench of a BBQ all day, next door but 2, "have you complained before... you'll have to ring up on Tuesday - what good would that be for us?

I'd buy some Bose noise reducing headphones!

Shadowduck

Aaah, Apocalyptica. I was introduced to them by a friend a few years ago while living in Dresden, didn't think they'd ever made any impact in the UK. I'm not so keen on the Metallica stuff but Cult is still regularly on my playlist.

Fortunately I don't watch much telly and Eurovision isn't among the bits I do, hence my ignorance!

I still vote for the hammer drill. Nobody wants to listen to one of those. 8)

northturton

I have to admit,alternative noise does work - don't have a hammer drill, but I do have a petrol chainsaw, and circular saw (I have an open fire so chop up any free wood I receive), that makes a heck of a din :-)
