Now I know the first approach should be to talk to the guy, (chap across the road, 2 houses up) but he's a drunk who's been in bother before, have seen the police round at his on a couple of occasions along with a bit about him in the local paper. During the recent thunderstorms lately he shouted 'Oh ya fkin beezer man!!!' at a particularly loud crack of thunder, to give you an idea of what the chap is like. Essentially, it's someone I really don't want to talk to.

His windows and doors are closed but I can still clearly make out Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Soft Cell etc. every bloody day. I can only assume the pensioner next door to him is almost totally deaf or doesn't want the hassle herself. It's a pain as all the other neighbours are spot on, maybe need to mention it to my immediate neighbour and see if he's been bothered by it too.

Is it worth contacting the council about it, can they do much with it?


P.S. I don't think he cares enough about the council-cut grass outside his front door to worry over frozen sausages...

What did the bit in the local paper say?

If it was about attacking a complaining neighbour i'd say he was best avoided.

Can you really hear him in your house 2 doors up, across the street and through two sets of windows?
Can't remember for sure, it was last year some time I think. Whatever it was he had to go to court. Arsing around on the railway line rings a bell but not sure. Estranged wife and daughter was mentioned though.

I'm not sure if he's always played music this loud and I've only just noticed because I'm not on 12 hour shifts any more but I can't ever remember hearing it until a couple of months back.

And yes, granted my windows sound insulation ain't the best though.

It is a council house he's in though, could that not help?

Can't believe no one has said it yet - move to a nicer area.
From what the OP has said all of his other neighbours are nice.
Bit of an extreme measure to some Soft Cell!

I'm not getting the 'fking Beezer!' reference - you mean he likes thunderstorms so you don't want to talk to him?

I like thunder and lightning too, but I hope that doesn't make my neighbours scared of me!

Not trying to be obtuse as the language itself doesn't sound especially offensive.
What sort of middle aged man do you think shouts 'OH YA fkIN BEEZER!!' so the whole street can hear?

He must have been reading this thread as I haven't heard him since the day I posted it. Thought I'd just start getting Huey Lewis and The News instead.
