LOL revenge is so sweet. Had hassle with a neighbor years ago whow as always blasting music out 24/7 and he had no carpets down and it made it worse. We had concrete floors so you can just imagine the noise. Well when my boyfriend moved in he bought these kick arse speakers along with a "shit im deaf now amp" and we put some loud shrieky Prince music on and held the speakers up against the ceiling on and off for a couple of hours. Strangely enough that neighbour became a tad more considerate after that. Cant tell you what happened to the neighbour who burgled me, but needless to say he left town ;D dam junkies

[glow=red,2,300]EQUAL PHOTO RIGHTS FOR EXOTIC BIRDS[/glow] LMAO! Okay, okay! Here is a piccie of my gorgeous Syd (affectionately known as Tiddy Widdy) He's now about 18 years old but will probably live til he's 80 so we've willed him to my nephew Syd's favourite saying at the moment is "Where's the rat?" ;D Which freaked our newest neighbours out because they thought we were infested with wild rats! Isn't he majestic? ;D

I'm glad - didn't fancy being inundated with abusive emails ;D I have to say I am so glad I live in a detached house. we hardly see or hear anyone. The crap you folks have to put up with from inconsiderated neighbours is unbelievable I lose my temper pretty quick so I would probably land in jail if someone was pissing me off

I've told D to set aside some money now for bail, just incase he is marched off after some further heinous act of revenge

LMAO...I think D and I would get on well...does he do 'the look' that can kill at 20 paces as well?! Toy ...Syd is gorgeous, and I think he probably knows it! My Auntie Jean, who funnily enough Az had a poltergeist that pushed her daughter downstairs (!) , has an Amazon Green parrot who is her constant companion now she's on her own...she can't even go to the loo without Skipper following her shouting 'Where are you going buggerlugs' It's so jealous that if she puts Skipper in the kitchen when she has guests , she mimics the phone ringing to make her go into the kitchen! Skipper is about 40 years old, and everyone thought it was a male , but 10 years ago she started laying eggs!

Ah, look at that Syd! Gorgeous. Lol at Skipper. I'm interested in the poltergeist, tell all! We have one as well called Denis. Pesky blighter is a pain in the neck. Do you have to rant if you come in here? *tries to think of rant* *Can't think of one* What about Spam? What do peeps think of spam? Sometimes it's funny, I just got this...reminded me of 'Toy and them down under for no reason except it's Oz related...

Ooh, a ghost fest sounds good!! Love stuff like that! A amte of my mum's knows the team from Most Haunted, so I'm hoping to wrangle my way into being involved in the show sometime!! Rants: Ok, firstly, I can totally sympathise with the noisy neighbour thing. I share a hall with 7 other people, one of whom brings back no fewer than ten friends every night. They usually roll in from a club at 2am and proceed to run up and down the hall screaming and kicking our doors until nearer 5. The rest of us have tried subtly dropping hints "Bit noisy last night, wasn't it?" asking politely "Can you try and be a bit quieter tonight, I've got an early start?" threats "If your friends do that again I'll have you evicted for noise pollution!!" but all to no avail. Last night was the worst ever- there was the usual row and then an almighty crash at 4:30 that woke not only all of us but the people upstairs, too. They'd decided to smash up the girl's bedroom whilst drunk! She then spent the next hour screaming at them while they laughed like a bunch of schoolgirls on speed. Soooo irritating as she never apologises, even though she knows she's distrubing us all. My next door neighbour is a sixty year old woman, who has problems sleeping anyway but is too polite to say anything, the others all have 6am starts in order to get to lectures, and she knows full well that I have ME and that if I don't sleep properly it aggravates the condition. Very very annoying!! We all try to accept that, like anyone, she is entitled to have fun, but she is soo inconsiderate and we're all like zombies now!! My other rant (sorry, I'm stressy today!!) is about reversed discrimination and unfairness in education. My course tutor at University is a deaf woman, and my course is aimed towards the integration of deaf and hearing people within a drama-based environment. Now, we all came here with an open mind, wanting to learn about deaf culture and learn sign language, etc, but most people are now going to be leaving here wanting nothing to do with the hearing imapired because of the actions of this tutor. Over the past 3 years, she has practised blatent favouritism towards the deaf students- buying them meals and birthday presents, allowing them to stay at her home through the holidays, doing their work for them, and even asking another tutor to grade them higher on certain modules because she grades them higher than they deserve becaue she wants to prove that they're better than everyone else. Now I have never discriminated against anyone in my life, I have a disabled brother and so have always felt that it is important to treat everyone fairly, but this is quite obviously reverse discrimination in favour of them. The rest of us are failing the course, especially those of us who won't accept her word as law. My group have failed an entire module because the other day when she started screaming at us and upsetting everyone (she's made over half of the people in our class cry before now cos she says and does terrible things to the hearing students- physical abuse is one of the less evil things!) one girl stood up to her and told her to please leave because her childish behaviour was ruining our rehearsal. Now she's sulking and has handed back work she marked that night with us all having grades far below our usual. For example, my average is 68 (a high 2:1) and my work was graded as a 46) We can't do anything about it...people have complained about her countless times before(including staff, most of whom leave after a few terms because they can't stand to witness the corruption when they can't do anything to stop it) but she threatens them with an unfair dismissal plea, based on the lie that if she is fired it is because she's deaf rather than because of her behaviour!! I am hating her big time right now, and want her dropped into room 101 with lots of poisonous snakes!!!!!

Would it be possible to bring in and use video/audio recording equipment in order to prove yourself to higher authorities?

I'd suggest your noisy neighbour going to live with your deaf tutor....what a pair of bitcas ....that's a good idea Cy ...the authorities here have taken more notice of taped evidence than just documented stuff, because they can actually see how much distress this kind of behaviour can cause.

That really does suck Lilly. First you want to report your neighbor to the Uni. Not to sure about the tutor problem, but if pupils and other tutors alike have problems with her then you need to get statements from all concerend that have problems and send them to her boss and her bosses boss. The higher up you are able to go the better as they say shit rolls down hill.

So this is the ranting place It's nice never been here before. Anyway ever since Wil told me about James' leather jacket being stolen after a gig I've been absolutely livid . It's just too painful for me to contemplate that anyone could do such a thing. I mean after all the things that James has done for his fans. What with extra signings and extra photos, even up to the point where his fingers have been bleeding. Some sorry b........d isn't content enough that they have to go and take his favourite coat. Which he looked bloody marvelous in btw. Did these people even think that this jacket might mean more to him than just a coat. Ok speculation, but whose to know. Please someone tell me that this didn't happen in the UK. Anybody know the details?? Somebody PM and let me know please. Ok that's it I'm done
