When people who choose to live in or near the entertainment precinct of a city complain about noise.





Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

When I lived 4 doors up the road from a popular pub, and they had an arrangement with a waste-disposal firm who'd empty their dumpster of about a zillion empty beer bottles - at 2:30AM 7 days a week.

I've got one of those.

 

A while back, the UK had a Gold Medal Olympic shotgunner. He used to practice at his parents farm.

 

The neighbours complained about the noise and he was banned from practicing...!

Oh FFS ....

 

Our country village sounded like a shooting range over the weekend  ... betcha that there will be recent arrivals complaining about that too !!!

 

Quiet a well known issue with recent country arrivals complains about crop dusters, bird scarer's, etc. Wusses.

 

As an aside, the whole shotgun shooting reminded me of a comedian by the name of Wes Harrison, who performs vocal sound effects with only his mouth and mic. He had a very good duck hunt saga ,.... by car, by boat, by train and by jet plane ...

Companies taking generic China boxes, slapping their logo on the front and trying to sort some firmware for local use, bringing in a container load of and hocking them off to the public who think that because they purchased this from Noel Lemmings it must be good quality.

 

 

 

Right now thinking specifically of satellite freeview boxes, where you can't buy a brand name like Sony, Panasonic, Samsung etc.

All while charging a massive premium over a $25 China Sat box price because it has the crap laggy guide and free view minus features.

It was opening weekend for duck shooting I think!

 

I prefer pheasants and grouse, personally.

People who keep roosters. No need. You can buy fertilised eggs.

Especially people who keep them and yet want to eat the eggs their hens produce rather than grow baby chickens!

 

Unless you like balut for breakfast, I suppose.
