I don't think so, unless Zelda... no, I guess not.

that's no excuse, if you ask me ! it just means they should take more care to be quiet. maybe we could get your neighbors and my neighbors (the troupe of elephants with lead shoes living upstairs in particular) together and, ah, have a little talk with them.


using some kind of detonator.

No, they really aren't, I just like to complaint but really it's not that bad. And I don't want to fight noise with more noise, and I also can't stand earplugs. I'm just being difficult I guess.

I know where the elephant troupe comes from: they must be my former upstairs neighbors. They were much, much worse than the current ones.

What I really should do is go to them and politely ask them to be a bit more careful in the early morning. I have seen them (him at least) and he seems like a nice guy, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't shoot me And they probably don't even know that the room where they make noise every morning for 10 minutes (just long enough to wake me up, you know, and then they are quiet again) is above my bedroom. I am using the original bedroom as a studio, and I put my bed in the living room.

Anyway, that's what I should do, but I'm just too much of a coward to do it

So it's YOUR fault, eh? Maybe they're quiet over the original bedroom?

Probably - to both

And to get back on topic, 22 March is World Water Day. Do we get to drink water all day? Or should we drink wine to save precious water

According to Wikipedia:
Quote:
Earth's approximate water volume (the total water supply of the world) is 1,360,000,000 cubic km (326,000,000 cubic mi).
Is that enough water for you?

Stop that! Now that's going to be in my head all day!

To FlorenceArt: I have one of these that helps me to sleep (barking dogs that no one - including the authorities - will do anything about. I'm literally ready to move except for the economy!)
