What are you doing right now?

They should have invited you, Minty, if they were planning to keep you awake anyway! If I was not invited to a neighbour's rowdy party I'd be tempted to call noise control. For some reason the noise control people at our council are one of the most effective departments. A friend told me that she knew someone who was served with a notice of a fine at about 11.05 pm, because her washing machine was audible outside her flat - which means that they must have been alerted and waiting outside her flat, just waiting for her to contravene the house rules of no noise after 11pm and with the notice all written out and ready to pop through the letterbox!

While playing loud music you should also get out there with a lawnmower or some kind of other loud gadget, while singing at the top of your voice and possibly clash a few metal bin lids
