    I heard a story about a chap who went on a two week holiday and left his stereo on full belt.

    It apparently cured the problem.

      He reminds me of my frightfully posh Aunt.

      I still issue that challenge to nick to walk from Easterhouse to Drumchapel on a Saturday night after an Old Firm game. I think I offered him 100 quid a mile to go to charity and I offered to pay for his travel up and down. I cannot remember, but I think I had an outlay of 1200 for charity.

      When Cliphead said to walk about Easterhouse as "suicide" he seemed to tulip out of it. Funny that.

        Maybe it is. Drug dealers don't have to live in slums and in fact might want to live away from their clients, not to mention being able to afford it. And loud shouting doesn't imply chavs either.

        Nick, do they know about the past torturing, maybe you can scare them off.

        edit: Also, did you post about the drug dealers before? And are you happy linking to a story which tells us your address?

          The torturing went on in a flat in the next street. The three of them that lived here were very good neighbours, never made any noise, always friendly and polite when I bumped into them in the hall. I think they did most of their dealing away from here, as they didn't even have many people coming round to see them.

          1) Are the people below tenants or do they own their own flat?
          2) Bearing in mind your last lot where drug dealers do you feel you can go and talk to them?
          3) If they tell you to f-off and own their own flat, you can always a) Make a lot of noise in response, b) Council job c) Vallium d) Alcohol e) Threaten to burn him with a hairdryer or if they rent ) a) Drop the agency a line with a complaint.

          1st thing is to go and speak with them.
          They're tenants. Anyway, maybe it was just a one-off, all-night drunken row. I'll see how things go on. If they continue like this, the people in the ground floor back are going to be getting pissed off with them too, so we can form an alliance against them.

          WHS
          This area generally is nice. I've learnt by experience that nutters will pop up occasionally wherever you go.

          I mentioned it in TPD at the time. The story gives their addresses at the time of the trial: they never came back here after being arrested.

              Nobody read those either (tee hee)

              Nick if it happens again just complain to the agency. It means they will be in breach of their tenancy. Simples.

                Nick, you should have phoned the council noise abatement thingie straight away, last night while the row was in progress.

                It _will_ happen again, and again, and again, and the sooner the eviction process is underway the better. Don't give the antisocial bastards any chances.

                Oh, and in the meantime these may help (*), seriously. Pop a one of them in each ear, and you'll snore through Judgement Day.
