    I've got some noisy cow been on her mobile ALL night & when she's not on that she's f****g singing & the walls are paper thin. I should go and tap on her door & politely ask her to be quiet but unfortunatley I'm one of those who bottles it all up until I can take no more
    Earplugs. I use them at home as well.

    Having had the pleasure of meeting you in TRW, I have to say that such requests coming from you would probably be treated with a greater degree of deference than if they came from those of us who aren't built like an entire galaxy of brick tuliphouses

    I'd go with the "call reception" option - being a bit hard of hearing, I once had it done to me when I was watching telly and I was absolutely mortified at the thought that I'd been so inconsiderate

    Dont know, I was always too busy shagging to bother about noise from another room. (Perhaps they complained about me \ us!?)

    That Travel Inn on City Road Newcastle was ace. You could get to your room without going through reception

    Call reception is my favoured method. Once in the Hilton in Sheffield I was being kept awake by loud music from the room directly below. Took a stroll down and noticed a distinctive smell. Phoned reception who wanted to fob me off with "nothing we can do" so I asked if the'd prefer me to call the Police and let them know that illegal drugs were being used in their hotel. After about ten minutes peace ensued.

    I do sometimes wonder why the flip people bother getting a hotel room so they can just put the telly on full blast all night though.

    Phone reception and complain.

    I did. Hammered on the wall real hard and yelled at her to shut up. Looking forward to a nice uncomfortable breakfast tomorrow morning now....
