Why do people sit in their bloody cars/vans for what seems like hours with their bloody radios blaring out full blast, and why is it always within earshot of the room I work in?


I'm at the point of going downstairs with a brick. A very very large brick.


ETA: Every cloud. I went down (without a brick) and it turned out to be someone in the same road I've never met even though he's lived here nearly as long as I have :)


And he was very apologetic, so all good :)

To balance that, a week or so back a similar thing happened, but in this case the person in the car was switching from station to station every thirty seconds or so and I could hear the noise from the other end of my house.


Funnily enough the car was parked over the road in about the same place as today (different car though).


I was really wound up and I went down and had a rant (no bricks thrown though).


The woman was speechless, but she did turn it off.


Unfortunately when I got back upstairs I looked out of the window to see if she was still in her car, and saw her going into a house opposite.


:( or :)) depending on how you look at it. I never recognise people, so that is potentially extremely embarrassing :))


Guess I won't be getting a Christmas card :))

You're obviously not a woman: at a certain our our tolerance to EVERYTHING completely bloody disappears.

    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
