Registered boards users who decide to post unregistered but need to tell people they are going unreg eg 'just going unreg for this'...

Eh who cares?? Just post your post.

Recreational drug users. My gobsh*te neighbour and his pals have been off their faces all weekend. At least we didn't have to put up with it Saturday night but they arrived back at 11 yesterday morning and were still fcuking off their heads at 5am this morning.

They had lots of little buddies call in to join the party yesterday and it's like living next door to Beavis and Butthead. It's quieter now, think they're trying to come down or whatever it is drug taking fcukheads do after a weekend binge.

Agree. Driving standards definitely seem to be getting worse. Between the road rage and bad manners, not to mention the perspective as a pedestrian - more often than not I find I have to wait a couple of seconds after the green man appears to allow all the loonies speed across the pedestrian crossing, having clearly gone through on the red. There seems to be a new law now that says 3 cars are allowed to go through really really fast after the red light show :eek: Oh and then there is getting stick from drivers behind when you dont break a red to make a right hand turn. How dare you you wait for the filter arrow. Actually, I think driving/pedestrian/cyclist annoyances should have their own thread

Regardless of which lane you were in, the behaviour of the other driver is inexcusable, he could not have been in that much of a hurry if he could slow down for one last "tootle". Also, I agree people need to be more aware (Not you Oldie) of correct lane usage, more so if you use the likes of the M50 every day, but spare a thought for some people who may only use roads like that once/twice a year when heading for Dublin airport, can be a daunting experience for some................

I rarely use them tbh, and was more concerned with keeping those in the car alive than getting in the last toot

Definitely going to get a toy gun*. Imagine the face on someone if they were acting the pr1ck and you pointed that at them?

Ideally, wait til all has quietened down and they're obviously trying to come down and get some sleep. The comedown is the time for thump-thump-thump music from your gaff!

I can edit together ten hours of nothing but an aggressive kick-drum if you like

As tempting as it is to say yes, it'd freak our pets out:)

Would a "quiet chat" do any good? or talk to landlord

Yeah, that. A quiet word, respectfully and not aggressively.

Speaking from my own personal experience, not all recreational house party types are scumbags. Most are perfectly reasonable. But don't ever ever try and confront them when they're under the influence, jsut incase they are nasty characters.

Other than that, speak to the landlord.

My wife and I usually sleep with our backs to each other, and this creates a space between us that the blanket never fully covers/closes, and it's cold in winter.

Larry Gogan Quiz

Larry: Can you tell me which city is the capital of Japan
Caller: Tokyo
Larry: Correct

This is wrong, the correct answer to above question is either yes or no.

I was whiffling along in the overtaking lane of the South Ring in Cork one lunchtime shortly before Christmas. Doing about 110km/h, passing a line of slower traffic inside, as one does. I encounter a late middle-aged looking couple in some sort of small car, sitting in that lane at about 60k quite oblivious to me. I give him a couple of flashes, and he explodes into a flurry of head-movements and arm-waving worthy of a cross between the young wan in The Exorcist and an Italian taxi-driver. After a few seconds of this he moves in, and performs a Rude Gesture(TM) towards the now rapidly-disappearing-towards-the-horizon Jag.

What in the name of the actual Cheeses is wrong with some people, especially a seasoned fella like that? I'd love to send them to the Black Autobahn for a day, and presumably if they weren't power-hosed off the road by the Polizei at some stage they'd actually learn something.

Better than your backs touching and the sweat making you stick and you literally have to peel yourselves apart :pac:

Also, get two duvets/blankets, if yous sleep with your backs to each other anyway you may as well have your own duvets to keep you comfy

My parents have two blankets. Actually almost everyone at home does, it seems to be the standard over there.

He is the landlord and he's an absolute cnut, there's been a massive problem with anti-social behaviour in that house for years. A lot of it's down to the girlfriend, absolute kn*cker.

Might be an idea to get the Guards to pop round to his gaff for a chat next time he feels like unleashing a rave in the middle of the day. That will soon learn em!

I think I've met just about every guard in my town in respect to the activity in that house over the years. Makes not a jot of difference to him, they're still up too, wish they'd just pass out or die, either would do at this point, although I'm kinda leaning toward wishing death on them at this point:D

WTF is up with Newstalk's transmission system?

The Mount Leinster transmitter seems to be broken more often than it's working. Even when it is working they have the power turned so low the reception can be really patchy without a phallic overcompensation of an aerial.

Then their streaming service is so patchy that unless you have an immaculate internet connection it refuses to work.

It's almost as if they don't want you to listen!

Try listening to some basket case having one at 3am. I have a 'neighbour' who thinks it's ok to invite lots of people to his apartment at that time of morning and start playing music. I never see him or any of his zombie friends who only seem to appear after the sun goes down. Called the guards many times but the fcuker still does it.

Oh it's not unusual for them to come in from a club in the early hours of Saturday morning and still be going into the early hours of Monday morning. Not much the guards can do other than knock and ask them to stop. Never works. Or they turn off the music before the guards get out of the car, so there's nothing to hear when the guards arrive.

His lodger is back this evening so I'm hoping he'll sober up before then and that we're not going to have more of it tonight.

People who buy a new house or apartment, sign a legally binding lease agreeing not to install wooden floors/erect satellite dishes on balconies/park commercial vehicles in the parking bays etc and then completely ignore the rules as soon as they've moved in.

People that drive with their fog lights on at night when there is no fog. Do people really thinks it makes their car look cooler?

Place has been ripped apart by guards over the years, criminals rented the place for a few years, was raided the first time he lived there himself(he was tipped off so didn't come home) and hid the car around the corner then. He just doesn't give a shi*, whatever they took isn't in the house. Used to see guards chasing the tenants up the street occassionaly and will never forget the raids on the place. They never got caught with it as they'd it sent round the corner to her relatives as soon as they'd finished chopping it during the night.

I know it's easier said and done but seriously, MOVE.
There are lots of things you could do to throw many spanners in his works, But what is that doing for you if you're still living there afterwards.
It's one thing when it's a neighbor but when it's your landlord ffs.
Spend your time and energy looking for somewhere else to live.
You'll be better off in the long run.

He's my neighbour, not my landlord, it's not as bad as it used to be, just a pain in the ass when it does flare up.
