Hi All,

Yet again this morning my neighbour's milkman woke me up by reversing his cart up our close and then taking ages to deliver his produce! This used to be around 7:15 but this morning it was 6:15!! Why can't the carts be electric like they used to be? Did I miss a clock change?

What noises annoy you?

J

I live on a straight bit of road out in Kintbury, speed limit is 30mph yet late at night you can hear cars driving passed at a much faster speed. This annoys me so much. I could be in a dead sleep but get woken up every night by some inconsiderate **** who insists on driving as fast as they can in the lowest gear they can manage.

Squeaky sweet wrappers

It wasn't me.

Not a noise but I am now suffering from 'text disapearing under the ads' syndrome!! Only on this thread though (which I started)!

Now I'm not - what is going on?

Car alarms going off and kids shouting and screaming at 1 or 2 in the morning.

Neighbours letting their kids run around screaming at stupid o' clock in the morning all week

Mika.

Westlife.

Maroon 5.

Celine Dion.

Mariah Carey.

etc. etc.

Agreed.

I agree, my neighbours do that!!!!

Absolutely! I also HATE police helicopters hovering overhead for prolonged periods of time because I want to know what's happening! REALLY frustrating!

I thought I was the only one! Quality Street seem to be the worst.

Car drivers that honk their horn right next to you when you are peacefully walking down the street just so they can wave at someone. Morons.

Bit of a tangent,but I hate so called friends / colleagues etc who blast on the horn everytime they see you.Pillocks !

Crying babies. The sound of dance music from the neighbour.

Oh, I don't mind that so much.... it is something different, however, I do agree about wanting to know

Bus drivers who see you cycling and try to drive as close as possible to you just for sport. Which is highly dangerous and life threatening.

The sound of people masticating.

(I think that's how you spell it!!)

You mean chewing and not wagging your robin?

That's what the dictionary says although both are quite disturbing noises!! (I should imagine)

I am glad you said "I should imagine" otherwise we could have devoted a whole topic in how you knew

At least it would have livened up the boards

AGREED 100%.

I CALL IT CHAMMING AND FIND IT ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!

ALSO WHEN THEY THEN START TRYING TO TALK AS WELL

I also agree; they make so much noise... I also hate gum.

Yeah! Me too! The amount of times I have said to my kids "Close your mouth while you are eating!"

Oh, and people who breathe really loudly in my Pilates class!

The awful whine made by those blasted 50cc mopeds and motorbikes. GRRRRR!

Cars revving their engines and speeding early hours of the morning.

People who talk loudly on mobiles - especially on trains - and then in the quiet carriage!!

"Time, ladies and gentlemen!"

If they say "ladies and gentlemen" in the pubs you go into then you must go to some posh pubs. I only know the ones that say "Time, now **** off out of here". And that is when they are being polite

To coin a phrase; they are being ironic!

Could it mean Chewing your Robin?

I'm with Bill on that!! Also, chalk screeching down a chalkboard. uuurgh!

I think a lot do

The chalk bit reminds me when I was at school. I hated that as well.

That's going to make your eyes water

GENTLEMEN PLEASE!!!

Could you please expand on that? I can't tell if you are offering or complaining

Car alarms

Amy Winehouse

My alarm clock on a Friday morning

People who don't know how or when to curb their language in public (don't get me wrong, I swear, but not every other effin' word!)

Oh, and Amy Winehouse

p.s. hello

Hi and welcome,

Are we talking Amy Winehouse as a person (which I would agree) or as a singer? Some of her songs - going by the few I've heard - are pretty good.

Hello, and thank you

Erm, both. Yes, agreed, some of her songs are actually quite good, but then re-wind to the 60s and hear someone sing that kinda stuff live, and it knocks her off the perch almost every time.

But hey.....that's just my opinion!! If we all liked the same artists.....the world would be a pretty dully place.

Or an easier one....now there's the dilema!

I'd also like to second the person who mentioned hair dryers on wheels earlier in the thread

I wish!!

There are lots of things you can buy nowadays that may help you know!

Yes I know... we've got an Ann Summers shop in Newbury, but it is mainly for women


As for wishing; you've heard of the saying "your wish is my comman".

I agree totally; if we all had the same tastes these forums would be dead.

Not easier; just dull and black and white

Do you swear in public?

It has been known, yes....BUT....I don't walk down the street using the 'F' word or 'C' word at least three times in any one given sentence. I know when not to, and when it may be acceptable, used in moderation for specific purpose in the appropriate company.

I mean, FFS.....there's a time and a place for everything, but maybe not all the time
