Live in a block of flats. Quite a few young families about. Downstairs neighbours have two kids, the older one, who must be around 6/7 is constantly making noise. Feels like every time I'm chilling in my living room it's thump, thump, thump to the point where it's shaking the shelves. 
 

 

Do the neighbours own the flat or is it rented - from a Housing Association? If so perhaps a wee complaint to them would help, just about general noise etc. Be best if the noisey neighbours were not on the Ground Floor though as they would think the complaint came from those underneath them.

Good luck getting it resolved, not an easy situation to live with.

Here, has anyone applied for a passport recently? And if so, how long did it take to get it sent and back?

 

Going away in April and can't find my current one for the life of me. 

When I last renewed mine, I got mine the same week and got to see the Kaiser Chiefs with @Byrne Baby Byrne

Hope this helps.

I've no idea, tbh. 
 

If it continues worsening I'll probably go chap the door.

 

Just need to figure out what to say.

Shit. Right, I'll have to get on it, cheers!

What's the bets once you've went through all the rigmarole in getting a new passport and paying out the money, you then find your missing passport.

Happens all the time.

Yeah, it is a fairly convoluted process for something so administrative. 
 

Cheers min. 

I done it online with a photo I took on my phone. 
 

Took about 6 weeks I think.

It's like the kid is doing laps up and down their fucking flat. The Dad is an acquaintance of mine in any case, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

 

Kids are kids, and you expect some amount of noise, but this crazy. I can't tell though, if it's me being a highly strung weirdo or if it's actually a reasonable complaint. My girlfriend gets annoyed with it too. 
 

The parents are nice folk, I just dunno how they aren't telling the kid to be quiet. 


I don't want to be so confrontational as to go knock on the door, and feel like I'd be a pussy if I sent a message. I've no idea what the response would be. 

If it was adults making heaps of noise, that would be one thing, but because it's a kid I feel like I can't say. 

 

Anyone ever dealt with this type of shit?

Raise it with your landlord, tell them no rent until the racket stops

Be amazing if downstairs was the landlord.
