Haven’t got a bill from theem in well over 6 months.
How good is losing something you had yesterday and then having to go through the bin on rubbish day, with ones cold dead hands, to avoid throwing said object out.

TPG internet is down, seems like Australia wide…
Yep, neighbours. You don’t know how good you have it until you have a bad one.
On one side we have the music blaster who also has a noisy pool pump completely in the open and right next to our fence, and who also parks across our driveway

Don’t pay bill until you are satisfied with it. It is a complete Fark up and we only paid the last three months and all the rest have been scrubbed.
Under the Water Act there is a time limit on billing so it is all on them. LocalMPs are all over it, if Western Water get nasty, just advise local MP office. I know them all so if you have a problem, message me.
Should added that Western Water are Farking hopeless, you cannot actually talk to anyone face to face, they have no office with an accessible door.

I used to live with a housemate who, if the neighbours in the terrace next door had had a particularly loud and inconsiderate party, say on a Sunday night/Mon morning, would bide his time for a bit and then would initiate the ‘howler monkey protocol’… This involved him connecting up his 300 wpc amp with a recording of howler monkeys, and letting rip for about 30-40 secs at intimidating volume, late at night or early in the morning. If you haven’t had the aural pleasure of hearing the world’s loudest animal, do yourself the pleasure…they do a fair bit more than howl. Talk about wake in fright. It was terrifying even with a heads-up. The neighbours became more considerate.

I quite like my neighbour but he’s been getting on my nerves lately with this music business.
You need to convince him that headphones are the way to go, particularly at those times when neighbors are affected.
Also, the bang for buck in terms of sound quality can’t be beat.
Modelled themselves on the second most powerful organisation in the country, the ATO.
Did the same, slightly different, in Clovelly tears ago. Had a neighbour have a weekend party - extremely loud music ALL weekend. People parking everywhere including across driveways, roads and gardens. The Clovelly Pub bouncers sorted a few out but when the party finished it was so quiet. Monday morning at 4am my flatmate has his speakers on our balcony facing directly into the bedrooms and we let rip with Black Sabbath at around 11 on the dial. Why didn’t we just join the party - no thanks - they were absolute garbage. Not happy either.

I love this sort of pettiness and revenge

It’s almost at the level of hiding dead fish somewhere out of sight so they cop the full force of the stench as it grows.

It was my idea and now, as I view it, very infantile. Bad luck, I loved it!!

So it’s petty revenge stories, is it?
When I was at university in the 70s I first lived in the student residences on the banks of the beautiful Hopkins River in Warrnambool. On the opposite bank was a big, flash house whose owner chose to install a bright lamp on his front lawn. Not only did this lamp illuminate his lawn down to the riverfront, it also shone directly into a row of bedrooms in the residence.
Two nameless students became so fed up with this that they borrowed a kayak, bought a can of black spray paint, rowed across the river in the middle of the night and dealt with said light.
We all watched with great amusement the next day as the homeowner discovered why he had what looked like a crow sitting on his lamp post. Message received, the bright light ceased to shine from that day onwards.

Coles and Liquorland.
Their set-up isn’t just annoying, it’s insulting.
Hospital parking fees!
You go to the hospital and if you dont want to pay, you need to walk a distant

Fair, but that’s council.
Talk to them.
It may shock you to learn that hospitals don’t employ people to give people parking fines, or even have the authority to do so.
