    Well, I would be enjoying it. But ... my new neighbours (third time this week now aside from last Saturday night; during the day) started boom base music from around 10 am this morning!!! Louds of noise, partying, off their heads by the sounds of it TBH. Spoken to a relative, cos with how things are right now I can't honestly put up with this worry but he has told me to be careful. Careful because these people you never know what will happen if you complain. Like retaliation. Unfortunately, because of events leading up to where I am living now, had no choice but to move in here or have nowhere to live. Been quiet since I moved in; well, as much as it can be with everyday noise but not deliberately made noise. Not going OTT when I say this, but a lot of people in this area are either running drugs or on them. Hence the problem I now face if I complain. So stuck upstairs again cos the living room/downstairs is no go right now. Just do not care these people. Though I imagine if I was doing it they'd soon be screaming in my face at the front door.

    Afternoon Merlin, just wanted to say I'm sorry about the situation you find yourself in and I hope it improves soon. I'm sure others will be around soon to chat to but I'm afraid I'm about to log off as this previously helpful board has today felt like a jury convicting me for trying to help! Sorry to go off on one but just fed up.

    Take care my friend and hope things calm down with the neighbours soon.

    Why what's happened???

    Not just me, then. I know what you mean, I felt like that all yesterday, why I kept deleting my posts. I feel I have trod on the toes of others here (DFW board) just for trying to help, pass on what I have learnt. Because right now I wonder where I am right doing so when it gets you like you describe(d). The more I am seeing the more I am less wanting to offer that hand to someone. I am sorry to say. And I am also sorry to say that it is making me feel as if I am doing 'wrong' and that helping is a wrong thing to do for people. That the act in itself is an 'offense' of some kind.

    I hope you come back because both the world and MSE needs more like you.

    Edit - though I won't be helping people like my neighbours. Will slam the door in their faces or not open it if they ever did ask me for it. Probably wouldn't understand why I did but would make me feel better. :)

    That's what mostly I was about to say. :D

    I heard you weren't well recently Phil and I hope you are better now. Actually, TBH, all this negativity in the world caused by recent events is almost becoming a pervasive force in itself. It is almost a very tangible, noticeable presence shall we say. It has brought an 'atmosphere'. I hope that this apparent shift does not climax (though I genuinely fear it might) and that it evens out, lessens. Because the potential is certainly there. Perhaps globably we are now reaching a precipice. Where we can either choose to turn back off that course or start to change that course. It has already begun to grind me down and I never thought it would. Already begun to push me back, want to give up. Someone has to do something somewhere. The tangibility of it is tearing so many down, breaking and trying to break them. Hope that made sense there.

    Unfortunately, things like my neighbours really take it out of me. Which also means I don't present my best side at times. Really, I just want to break down over the keyboard as it's a place been in before, many times before in different ways. But I don't want to because I worry it's a 'weakness' if I do, that if I let it go it also lets the strength go to tolerate in as much as is possible. So, no, I don't really show my best side when like this.

    I can imagine.....i've been through what your going through now & its a hellish place to be thankfully for me in the end we fought all we could & moved eventually (although why we should have done in the first place for something not our fault)

    Sorry I vanished. Need a stiff whiskey after the post that I saw after checking to see if any had come.

    Coming to join you LATE. You bother offering help to people who conversely arrived on here for it and it just gets ignored. Maybe I'll go take an overdose again, after all I am not 'expert' enough for some on here. I'll be one less burden on society that way. Instead of sorting my own troubles out I waste it helping people who are so !!!!ing jealous of anyone intruding on their territory and bothering to help it's sodding unebelievable it really is.

    Sorry for that outburst but I am fed up now like LATE was. Right that is !!!!ing it. I HAVE HAD IT. I may not be an expert in anything but ... I am obviously such a !!!!ing criminal for trying to help people out. i'g olaegfjg fxiodhjsjhsdpfpmjrepjds;pojfdponiiphs; !!!!S IT

    Goodbye.
