Sarah Vine's on record saying she doesn't like sex with Gove but considers it her duty, isn't she? It adds symmetry at least to realise that Gove felt the same way. That Gove and Vine thought the best thing to do was to carry on sadly and unenthusiastically loving each other for no other reason than to conform to a red-top tabloid's idea of normality is another harm among the countless other travesties of inequality. Edit: The BR class 95 locomotive does not in fact exist. If one were ever spawned, it would likely share features from its two parents- the class 92 and the class 98. It would therefore be a burly, who-gives-a-gently caress-about-aerodynamics general purpose locomotive with the aesthetics of a stomped portakabin, but steam powered.

Is it weird to think that a baby deserves the right to a peaceful nap in their own home more than someone deserves the right to hold a very loud party that can be heard across an estate and through headphones? I don't think it matters what time of day it is to be honest. And egging noise makers on via Facebook and celebrating someone apologising for complaining sounds a lot like online bullying.

I mean really both Vine and Gove are such repulsive beings that I can easily believe that both of them are an actual example of being made gay by circumstance rather than the reality of sexuality being intrinsic.

So people should just never be able to have parties in their garden? Fair play it sounds like the noise was a wee bit excessive to say the least but, sorry parents, sometimes your child will be woken up by outside noise. Obviously I’d be dramatically less likely to hold that sentiment if I was one of the parents, but I’m not so I do and I don’t think it’s all that unreasonable. I don’t mean to sound like an rear end, I really don’t, but ‘you’re not a parent you couldn’t possibly understand why I demand perfect silence in my neighbourhood’ isn’t as reasonable a sounding argument as a few of you seem to think.

I am not going to speculate, but if he did have a moment of completely flipping off the Tory MP mold and just came out and said "no more secrets, I'm gay, I do coke, I party, I'm going to get toned and tanned and live my best life, I've got the money for it, gently caress all y'all" and showed up at next Pride like then I'm not sure how I would deal with that. loving do it timeline, after the past five/eleven/forty years, do Hot Party Gove. (By which I am not suggesting that it's a realistic standard that anyone can or should be Hot Party Gove, but he's got enough connections within the private health complex that he probably could, should he wish.)

Neither of these things were said, you're just making quotes up, there is a middle ground between never having a garden party and hiring live DJs that can be heard across the estate (and subsequently shaming people for complaining). OP was explicitly not talking about any old garden party. Your position of not having empathy for parents because you aren't one doesn't sound particularly great. I mean...in this specific situation being discussed you can have empathy for parents who want their babies to be able to nap (or the child who doesn't get to choose where they live and just wants to sleep), or you can have empathy for the people who want to have an excessively loud party with live music in a residential neighbourhood.

Rabelais D posted:Is it weird to think that a baby deserves the right to a peaceful nap in their own home more than someone deserves the right to hold a very loud party that can be heard across an estate and through headphones? Flip this round the other way - I'm assuming the young kids and babies occasionally shriek or cry at 4am, or when the partiers are hung over and recovering on Sunday mornings. Are they arseholes for putting their neighbours through that? Do the neighbours have the right to be mad at them for disturbing them? People making noise in the afternoon, middle of the day, late morning, that's just people. You can't expect everyone to be silent, nor should you. If it's 2 in the morning that's fair enough, feel free to go round and ask them to knock it off, round up some neighbours to back that opinion up (not with force, just with assenting 'this is unreasonable' opinions). Babies probably do not give a poo poo though. If they did, they'd wail at the TV, the washing machine, people doing DIY or planes going overhead. What they do give a poo poo about is how the adults around them are dealing with it. And if they start to associate dance music with their parents suddenly getting irritable and visibly angry or leave to yell at the dang fun havers, then yeah they'll probably start to get upset every time they hear it.

This doesn't really feel like a productive discussion. Everyone's assuming that the other side is saying the worst possible interpretation of what they're posting and I'm not really sure it's going anywhere? In other news, it's been a year since the events at the Park Inn in Glasgow: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-57622440 quote:Campaigners have marked the first anniversary of a knife attack at a Glasgow hotel which left six people injured, including a police officer. Asylum seekers are still being housed in these hotels, many of which are not fit for purpose and dehumanising and isolating to live in: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/asylum-seekers-hotels-refugee-council-home-office-b1835832.html quote:Asylum seekers are being left without adequate shoes, clothing or suitable food in Home Office hotel accommodation, in what has been condemned as “dehumanising” treatment. This second article is from last month, but emblematic of the conditions which created the tragedy a year ago.

The noisy neighbour problem was solved on my street when one evening the noisemaker was ambushed outside his house, pushed to the ground and given a black eye and bruised ribs, by a car full of young men in nondescript dark hoodies who were absolutely not hired by one of the other residents. This crime was never solved.

When our eldest was born we had some curtain-twitching neighbours (or more probably their teenaged kid) leaving us a nasty anonymous message that our baby was crying loudly. Nice of them to raise the point, we hadn’t noticed.

I've lived for two years next door to an actual loving demon wearing a child suit, it screams and smashes my wall to tantrum at whatever damned hour it pleases, at volumes it shouldn't be able to reach I've never been anything but polite to my neighbours and never mentioned it to them because as an adult I accept this is the tradeoff of living in a society. They don't complain about the nearby pub for the same reason

People make noise. Various people are more or less tolerant to said noise. I can't even have the windows open at night because the birds make my partner irrationally angry in the morning. It does seem adhd makes it super easy to ignore the gently caress out of background noise like neighbours in their garden or parties though. Put someone in a room with me quietly reading audible words and my brain loving melts if I'm trying to do something else though.

Way back I lived next door to some twats who decided to drunkenly kick part of the garden wall down during a party and chuck bricks from it at our house, that one was worth us all coming out and telling them we'd start chucking them back at their heids if they kept it up, but simple noise is one of those things that's both part and parcel of living (I was going to say 'living close to others' but I've spent time outside of that and crickets and primates will happily fill in) and yet never seems to have any solution other than competitive chuntering, so barring examples of completely unreasonable behavior it just goes round in circles of everyone filling in their own worst case. Several sources dispute the general truth of this claim.

And on the flipside, what's the acceptable time to start mowing your lawn while trying to be a considerate neighbour? I'd say 8:30 but I remember getting miffed a neighbour would cut the grass at 9am, exactly when I was trying to go to bed off the back of a 13 hour nightshift, but tbh I'd be tired enough to sleep through a cat 5 hurricane so the grass cutting was fine, sometimes you just want to grumble

Buy a scythe and you can cut your lawn whenever you want, and you should definitely do it at night, with the scythe, in your dressing gown, and then sit outside and sharpen the scythe while staring at the house of your neighbour.
