First off, don't know why the hell he is doing is in the middle of the night. And second all he has no damn leaves. Prick. Sounds like he has a great sense of humour . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A colour changing lamp at that. They have it on throughout the night. It wasn’t mega bright but enough to keep us awake at times. Next door neighbour and us have asked them to switch it off at night but they have ignored it. Weirdly enough, my uncle came to visit yesterday and by coincidence he bought his air rifle with him. Slept really well last night. I like gardens with them in. Keep meaning to get some . They apparently encourage fairies and other angelic spirits to enter your garden . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted September 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2021 Any time I want to quickly see if anything's going on with Villa, particularly during transfer windows, I Google "Aston Villa." Whenever we're about to play or have just played one of the ESL 6 the top results are always articles about the "big" team, usually from the London, Manchester or Liverpool paper or the team's fan rags. If I wanted to know about Chelsea I'd have typed in Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I can definitely get behind the noise complaints, but on the lights, just get some decent **** curtains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I’ll go full on Falling Down and hunt you and your garden illuminations down . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slept really well last night. on a light theme ....there is a street light outside our house that thankfully stopped working for about 5 years , technically its the councils responsibility but they said as we lived in private road it was nothing to do with them , fine by me I love the blackout ....few months back my neighbour who is one of those annoying practical men that can do things I can't like change a lightbulb , was up a ladder and repairing it ... anyway , 99p on amazon later I got one of those keys that unlocks the panel and I flick the switch and turn it off , few days later he's back up with the ladder checking the bulb etc thinking something must be tripping it . TBH i've kinda got used to the light now , so I'm not fussed , I just like going out there every now and then and flicking the switch and watching him up the ladder with much amusement , i even go out there and give him a little wave and ask him if he's figured out what's causing the problem 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prick. some of the houses near me cut their lawn about 8am on a Sunday morning, that may be a respectable time for them but 8am on a Sunday can sometimes be 2 hours after I've got in from a night on the hoy and yet if I was to go and cut my lawn at 2 am , 2 hours after they've gone to bed , I bet I'd be the bad guy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I've got blackout blinds behind blackout curtains in my bedroom, with the door closed I literally can't see a speck of light, I love it. I leave the blinds up a little bit in the week to let a tiny amount of light through in the morning but at the weekends I wake up and can't tell if it's daytime yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The street I live on is only 4 years old, the street lights are clearly low energy LED types as they barely give out a dull glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposite problem here. I'm on a busy main road with a streetlight right outside our bedroom. A few years ago the council replaced the dull yellow ones with blindingly bright incandescent white lights. We have to use blackout blinds, but even they don't totally block it out. It's bloody annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Working from home is great and have a lot of advantages but I can't take Teams meeting anymore.

I live on a corner and when I asked the shire if they could do something about the light.They said no,because bieng on a corner it is a safety issue.So, the Mrs and me sleep with sleeping masks on.No problem now.
