below us. The people in both those floors like to have "i can play my music
louder and later than you" competitions and i'm seriously about to scream at
them both. I'd like the situation to be solved without having to have
shouting matches so anyone any advice on how best to deal with it? Also does
anyone know if there is any way to involve the police / environmental
officers and how to go about this?
TIA!

Just 'phone up your local authority Environmental Health Dept and get
advice from them .......

going to do when the time is right.
One thing I can guarantee you though, these people, when you complain will

Fill up the biggest swimming pool you can find above the source of the
problem when it's at full tilt and then bust it with a pick-axe or
sledgehammer...

Yeah, I agree, a nice bit of death metal as soon as they put theirs on
(and switch it off as soon as they switch off), or a good old bang on
the floor accompanied by a 'SHUT THE F*CK UP!' and they should get the
message. On the other hand, they might phone the environmental health
and YOU'LL be the one with an anti-social order slapped on ye.
Could it be possible they just don't realise how loud they are? It's not
unreasonable to expect them to turn it down after 11pm to an acceptable
level so a friendly word with them might be enough. Failing that, keep a
diary of your complaints and call environmental health - that's what
they're there for.

I was thinking of playing some Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson or even Dixie
Chicks at full blast. But they probably wouldnt appreciate that

Assuming there are more than three flats in the block, there's a risk
that SB will disturb someone else, who will think she has joined in the
"see who has the loudest stereo" competition, and eventually you'll end
up with the whole street either cranking up the volume or getting
Environmental Health round.
I don't know what Glasgow's Environmental Health Dept's policy is on
these things, but from reading other people's stories the first things
Councils usually ask you to do is to keep a diary of incidents, so you
might want to start doing that now.
Is there any chance the neighbours might just not realise they're
causing a disturbance? A quiet and ever-so-polite word to them *might*
help - and if it doesn't, is it going to do much harm?

Hmm......I'm not so sure. I'd probably prefer to have a quiet, friendly word
first and see if you can make any progress that way.
Failing that, kick fuck out of 'em. :-)

Sidneys Brother is a small insignificant little shit who smashed into my car
6 weeks before christmas several years ago.
I found out where he stayed and a pal of mine ( the scary skint knuckle
type ) and I went around to find him..
Had to leave a message such like..
"Mr Carden was here! - He wants his money by tomorrow - And He will be back
for it!"
Money in hand and a squirmy little prick slid away from my door at 10:00 the
next day.......

That's why it's better to bide your time.... say nothing, then do the dirty
on them.
Mind games and making their life a misery will be the only way.
The play loud music... you do what needs to be done.... they are quiet..
then nothing happens. Play music, the payment returns....
Your payback as such will be different from mine I can assure you.

Free dope, honest police and rocking horse shit.
It's not a bad idea to get a councillor involved in the process, they
will have a good deal more influence with council officers than you
do. The councillor will also stand between you, the council officials
and the noisy neighbour and that can be an advantage. The advice about
taking matters into your own hands is great if you keep a Kalashnikov
under the bed but most of us don't. Have a look at this site, some
good advice there.

Ah well Stewarton is close enough to Glasgow I guess. I did the move in
reverse which is also good!

This happened to me, only it was one neighbour making my life hell as
opposed to two. She knew what she was doing. I'd knock on the wall with my
cricket bat (my fists weren't loud enough) and all I'd hear was "Fuck off!".
After years of disturbed sleep, I eventually called Environmental Health and
they came along and installed a microphone in my bedroom and wouldn't you
know, there was not a sound that night though fortunately enough, that was
when they abandoned the house. Anyway, Environmental Health advised me that
I should have called the police because it's them that have the powers of
arrest if it was required. To be perfectly honest, I was always too scared
to go round their house to ask them nicely to keep the noise down (I was
actually cited as a witness once because I was an earwitness to some
domestic violence against the woman) and too scared to phone the police in
case of reprisals.
I was fortunate that they moved away but the best course of action, if they
don't move out, is to go round their house and ask them nicely to keep it
down. If they are not sympathetic to your plight (I tell you, I was going
slowly mad!) they can have no excuse if you phone the police, environmental
health or the anti-social task force (if you have it in Glasgow City
Council) if it happens again.
Sincerely, all the best.

Don't give your name.
And phone them every time it happens.
Personally, I have used a smile and friendly manner whilst talking down to
them after banging on their door. If you're gonna have bad neighbours, it's
best to make it difficult for them to feel okay about being pains in the
arse. You have to out-psyche them.
With reference to Chewin the Fat which tells us all we need to know about
realtions between Glaswegians, with regard to hellish neebors it's better to
come over more Bish 'n' Bosh the painters 'n' decorators, rather than the
Big Man or Ballistic Bob.

I went through this. The police and the environmental health officers
passed responsibility to each other and neither ever did anything, except
that on particularly bad nights the police would knock on the neighbour's
door and tell them to stop the racket.
