the weathers great - but please keep the noise down a bit

I LOVE this warm weather, except for one thing.

My son is doing leaving cert and working his socks off studying, with 5 days to go.

He goes into school during the day to study and comes home at 6. Has something to eat then does a bit more study.

However his evening 'stint' coincides with a lot of neighbors out in back gardens. Most are fine, just barbqing, talking, playing etc. But a few are just plain bloody noisy c##ts

Worst offenders are an elderly couple 2 doors up. They have an endless stream of grandchildren that they 'entertain; in the back garden. By 'entertain' I mean screech at them, and get them so overexcited the kids invariably start crying.


I have just been hanging clothes on my line and I swear they were so loud they may as well have been standing right beside me. They are probably deaf to boot.

Appealing to their 'better nature' and asking them to pipe down is unlikely to have any effect as they are a pair of bullies. he is a well known figure with a bad reputation and his wife has a cackle like a witch.

Its just so inconsiderate. Everyone is well entitled to enjoy the weather and their back garden but we don't all want to hear how fantastic their grandchildren are or what they are doing, accompanied by whoops and cackles.


Time for the earplugs

Leaving Cert weather

Mint Aero

Haha loser leaving certers missing the weather ha ha

DEFTLEFTHAND

I remember the weather being the same in the lead up to my Leaving Cert. It was painful having to sit in on warm evenings with everybody else in the house out enjoying the sun.

riclad

Maybe go to a nearby library to study .
Or get earplugs .

And expecting the world to shushhhh so your precious one can study isn't inconsiderate?

Send him to the library, plenty of peace and quiet there.

Mr. CooL ICE

I suggest marrying a dothraki warlord. You might get dragon eggs as a present. If you do, raise them by feeding them livestock and unfortunate peasants and when they will be big enough to breath fire, they can take care of the noise.

If a bit of noise knocks his concentration off kilter then i hope he never does have to treat me, Doctors work under pressure, Think kiddo will be more suited to a nice office job somewhere tbh.

Expectations much?

PLL

The people in my estate are strange, a lot of them aren't outside at all but at home with their curtains shut and no windows open, it is so odd. However every kid in the estate is out till 11pm screeching. It wrecks my head. I actually have a 4 year old and I'm expecting another so it isn't that I hate kids. But no parents watch these kids and they are so fúcking loud. Not saying that my child doesn't make noise but she goes to bed at a reasonable time. These kids have school in the morning and just cuz the sun is out they are out all night screaming up and down the street.

Good for them, my best memories I have as a kid are those long summer evenings/nights.

On any other thread the same moany feckers would be whinging about kids being indoors all day on playstations and not getting out in the air.

Where do you live op? I have my vevuzela ready

Sounds like too much study too me.

Overdoing it is just as bad as doing nothing.

Your brain can't take it.

Tell him to get out the back and enjoy the sun

RayM

Why is he studying? The exams don't start until next week.

Spanish Eyes

Noise cancelling headphones ftw. He won't hear a goddam thing.

Honestly. They work on airplanes a treat too.

Worth a try because you are NEVER going to get people to be absolutely still in their own back gardens on a glorious Summer's evening. It's rare enough we get them too.

BunkMoreland

Nobody gives a **** about the leaving cert or your son.

And this is why I'll never buy a house in a housing estate.

Out enjoying the sun...down with that sort of thing

Agreed.

Could OP get noise cancelling headphones and play some really low music for himself.

My son going to be a doctor lah de dah. He'll probably get enough pints to do jam making.

Why didn't you think of the noise when you bought the house. It's down to you, should have buying a house(probably a council house I would say) in the middle of nowhere.

Stop blaming the neighbours

STB.

I blame the parents....:pac:

And now a nice summer song to cheer everyone up

I don't think he needs them, he seems to have his head up his ass.

Some background music:

Put it on a loop, and it should block out the intrusive sounds of all those will-never-be-either-a-doctor-or-the-parent-of-a-doctor losers.

ardinn

Well if you did better in your own leaving cert you wouldnt be living in a social housing project - Go buy a detached somewhere with a few acres - you can guarantee the loan on the back of your sons upcoming "qualifications"

Ick, damn peasants wanting to do well in the Leaving Cert, what is the world coming to? In my day, the lower classes were content working the landowners fields!

(Also, she's not blaming her neighbours for her son not getting the points to study medicine, jumping to conclusions much there?)

On a less snotty note, it is traditional we get summer for the length of the Leaving Cert, and the summer ends on the last day of the exams. Seriously, every year I've been in Ireland since a few years before my own LC I've been following this trend and even modelled it with climate software and indeed there is an oddly warm patch right around now. There's also an oddly warm bout often in February which, as I recall, is around about the time of the LC mock exams!

The noise-cancelling headphones are a good idea; apart from that there's not much you can do. Shrieky neighbours will shriek.

Fun thread. Let's shout more abuse at yer ones son for studying :pac:

CB19Kevo

OP are you actually for real,get off your high horse.
They are entitled to enjoy themselves on there property,you should be able to respect that.
That doctor comment was quite nasty i thought,equal measure better than others and insinuating medical malpractice.

I understand your point of view,You just need to understand others.

Would you not go around and knock on the neighbours doors and ask them face to face to be quiet? See how they react to been asked to keep reasonable levels of noise during daylight hours on their own property down so the wee fella can study in his bedroom.

I doubt they are all reading this thread OP.

I think the whole country should have to stay in bed until your young lad is finished...

To be honest, given some of the crap people in here have spouted at her (including the target of the "treat you" comment), can't blame her for being arsey back.

In fairness coming into After Hours looking for sympathy because the noisy neighbours are gonna stop Little Johnny becoming a doctor wasn't the best idea :pac:

asteroids over berlin

Try living next door to unemployed neighbours who feel they must shout everyday to make their presence known (I know not why). Then in good weather they are out the back with cans shouting and having great craic (their words)as they put the hifi on max!

Once in a while is ok with me but it's just fcuking too much - I know they are complete fools though, which helps a bit. They need to wake the fcuk up though!

Try living in the country where the sileage rigs burst up and down the roads till 3 am. Never fail to arrive just as the exams start. ......

riffmongous

Nicely done OP, although a followup post where you callout some random replier for being blue collar/not good enough for university while your son will be going to Trinners or some English uni would have been great

chrissb8

He has the whole day to study. What about the folks who work hard all day long? Why should they have to worry about your kids L.C.

Better yet just tell him to go somewhere quiet. A joke of a complaint.

Still hope your kid does well. Stressful time but alas, the world doesn't stop for him. So get over yourself. Last I checked the sun doesn't revolve around your sons L.C.........actually maybe it does considering the good weather and that.

No, no, no, no.

A few nice cuts of beef, with poison stitched inside. Ninja in up to the letterbox, slip them in. Ninja out. Toto no mo'. They have a terrier, right? Oh, wait - that thread was a wind-up.

As you were.

Send him out with a good feed of porridge, a big bottle of milk, a healthy packed lunch, enough bus fare and a fully-charged iPhone 6s. Be grand. They said.

There's always repeats - with the windows closed.

The King of Moo

Don't make fun—I worry this could be the origin of a supervillain.

The Doctor...

Driven insane by ignorant children making noise during the daytime and therefore stopping him from getting enough points to do Medicine, he slips into hospitals posing as a doctor (because he's not a real doctor, because he didn't get enough points to do medicine) and deliberately botching operations.

The police know him by his calling card: a torn-out scrap of Less Stress More Success Leaving Cert Biology Revision Book.

Great thread - thanks op for starting this, it has enriched my life exponentially.

thegreatgonzo

Just get earplugs. I'm trying to finish my green cert here and I keep getting interrupted by my dad with alzheimers trying to fill the kitchen sink with turf or putting sugar in his pockets. If it was just noise bothering me I wouldn't mind.

Move to an offshore island, where you are guaranteed a healthy dose of peace and quiet.

Stay there and don't come back

I could have been a doctor you know, instead of a portaloo cleaner.

Yea what happened?

My neighbours had some BBQs

My god how horrible

To all leaving certers possibly reading this thread. I just want to let you know that the best weather we will have will be when your are choked up inside panicking over an exam
