I never heard of cops refusing to respond.
Every party I've had has been busted up by cops, it seems.
And that's at like 1:00 on a Saturday night.

| You don't mention where you live.... not that my answer about what to
do would be different.
Anyway, you had one of those situatioins where you were stuck with
thoughtless Asx Hxxxx living next to you. Reason didn't work,
appealing to their non existent sense of responsibility didn't work.
You called the cops... good for you! A risky thing to do these days
but it indirectly worked for you... you got RID of them!
Short of moving you did about the only thing you could have done,
unless your built like a bar bouncer with a personality to match it.

| MACNAS is in Galway, Ireland. Michael is faced there with laws very
different to what we have here in the USA.
I don't know exactly what the laws there are, but it's clear that the
police consider civil matters outside their bailiwick - maybe they'd
respond had someone beaten someone else senseless, but I fear that the
one beaten might have been Michael.
Here in the USA we have laws against this kind of disturbance, and the
police will usually respond, albeit sometimes very slowly because they
often have more urgent matters to deal with. Eventually, if the noises
went on after police intervention, you could have sworn out a complaint
for disturbing the peace, a misdemeanour good for 90 days or so in the
local Police Hotel.
I think you may well have done about all you could do by appropaching
the next-door landlord - unless a landlord is one of the carousers,
he's relly unlikely to want them trashing his property and annoying the
neighbours, lest he lose tenants and incur repair costs great enough to
hurt his income.

| Neighbour1 of ours fired a shotgun through the window of
Neighbour2 because Neighbour2 was making too much noise. If only
St. Patrick had been able to rid France of the French it would be a
nice healthy place to live ;-)

To hear the Commitments.

| To drink the Guinness. It becomes decidedly inferior the further away
you are from Dublin.
|
| 87.13 | to see Bono? :-) | VAXWRK::STHILAIRE | Food, Shelter & Diamonds | Mon Aug 30 1993 13:43 | 18 |
| I thought people lived in Dublin so they could camp outside Bono's
house and catch sightings of stars, like Van Morrison, going into
parties. My daughter is over there on vacation this week, and that's
what she did the other night. :-)
Maybe only visiting Americans slink around outside Bono's house,
though. It might get boring after awhile if you live there. :-)
Lorna
ps - I said to her on the phone, "So, where did you stay last night?"
And she replied, "At Bono's house." I'm like, "Yeah, right." And she
says, "Well, not *inside*! *Outside* I mean. I spent the night
outside his house."
Weird, I know. It's like a pilgrammage to mecca. Bono is her personal
god.

| 87.14 | Night shift and noise don't mix. | MACNAS::JDOOLEY | On the way | Mon Aug 30 1993 15:06 | 11 |
| Noisy neighbours can be hell when one is on a night shift and obliged
to sleep during the day. I had to get rid of hoardes of screaming
children who gathered outside to play and fight just when I'd be
sleeping. Often I needed 10 hours sleep to feel rested enough to
perform even in a minimum fashion but it never really worked.
Nine months later I went back on days.
Because of my poor performance during that nine months I nearly lost
promotion to the next level when my performance at that time was
dragged up two years after the night shift episode.......
It seems children never are quiet and managers never forget.

| 87.15 | Dive Dublin. | MACNAS::MOBOYLE | | Fri Sep 03 1993 00:36 | 3 |
| No I dont know why I ever lived in Dublin.
It is lower than a snakes wobbely bits.

| 87.16 | | SIOG::E_CUSACK | Quit it !! | Fri Mar 18 1994 15:18 | 6 |
| I believe that .15 is a Matter of opinion. I have lived in dublin
before and never had any problems. It all depends Where in dublin you
moved to.
