Add that to my slate barman - and I think I'm feeling well enough for a glass of the 2009 Casillero and a pickled egg

While the duvet is in the wash in preparation for the New Year...port any one? There's a bit of stilton left too...
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

THANKS DEADLY, I'LL HAVE EARPLUGS AND A LARGE GLASS OF POR.... oh sorry, was I shouting? Folks downstairs have taken the opportunity to do some festive remodelling of their flat and since Boxing Day I've been subjected to twelve HOURS A DAY OF DRILLING AND HAMMERI... sorry, did it again.
Does stilton have good sound insulation properties? Sticking it in my ears is the best thing I could do with the filthy stuff. I prefer Cheshire or Wensleydale. But they're too crumbly and won't stay put.

That is SERIOUSLY anti social, Kel and, I think against some law or other. They should know it's not acceptable but I despair of people + common sense + decency. Doesn't seem to be an equation that works these days...(Thge Germans would have this sort of thing covered for sure!)
Stilton will certainly melt into your ears; or I am assuming so as it melts deliciously on warmed mince pies.:face-approve:

PARDON??? CAN'T HEAR YOU - I'VE GOT CHEESE IN MY... oh hang on, that's better. Found a couple of lumps of Cheddar at the back of the fridge and glued them in place with some Philadelphia. Wish I'd bought the plain stuff though - the chives are a bit itchy.
Downstairs moved in just before Christmas, so I'll charitably assume that all is being made ship-shape for the New Year and that the racket will pack up in the coming days. There's only so much you can do to a two bedroom flat, surely? It's not like they'll be installing a swimming pool or a butler's pantry.
I will definitely have that port you were offering earlier though. Might help muffle the thudding.

Wall brackets and rubber fittings?! Good lord, Wax. In this neighbourhood, I was worried that the new occupants would be running a crack den. If your guess is right, it would seem that they're constructing an S&M dungeon.
Just hope their plans involve better sound insulation than they have at present. The all-day drilling is bad enough. I'm not sure I could put up with screaming noises all night. I'd definitely have the council onto *that*.

To all my BAJR friends...
Friendship is like peeing your pants; everyone can see it but only you can feel the true warmth.
A Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year to you all.
