Neighbours from hell:
So we got a new guy move in three doors down last Monday, and it's been serious noise every night since. I can sleep through it but both neighbours in between have had babies in the past month and obviously need their quiet. So Saturday night at 1am when the music's waaaaaaay loud I hear both neighbours in turn knock on the door and ask politely for some consideration, only to have this asshole turn the music up louder. Time for Geronimo's moral support.
So there are three of us banging on the guy's door and asking him to chill when the door flies open and he & his oversized mate come tearing down the stairs threatening violence. Random quote : "I don't care if you've got work in the morning, you can fuck off."
Random reply, courtesy moi, which probably didn't help : "Send your trained monkey back inside"
Police called but wouldn't come out unless somebody was assaulted. New neighbour tried making friends with some bullshit comment about this apparently being the best way to meet his new "friends". End result, they finally turned down their shitty fucking music and went back inside to finish their reach-around session. Plus we finally got details of their letting agency today, official complaints have been placed, and the matter is to be dealt with.
Being official about shit rules
Meanwhile have been driving self to insanity/exhaustion by trying to build a new conservatory on the house while still running a business in order to try paying for the thing. Quote from builders: 9500. Cost in materials to do it meself: 2500, plus two weeks' graft. Domesticity is a bitch, but now I know why I don't get people in to do work.

The neighbour sounds a right twat, situations like that are bloody annoying. next to a market and a tube station which tend to make for a lot of noise, not much I can do about that except have my stereo on to drown out the street noise.
Good to hear you are recovering nicely. This mean you'll be changing your name to Wolverine or Weapon X?
