The "not in my neighbourhood syndrome". Pretty typical. Buy a "cheap" house somewhere and then moan like hell when someone wants to improve an existing feature of the area. LIke people who buy a house near an airport and the grizzle about the noise. Then those self styled obnoxious ones who set themselves up as medical no alls. Like , everything you to eat is unhealthy. You must eat five vegetables a day. Hamburgers are bad. Fish and chips are bad. GE modified food is bad. And so on ad infinitum. And that other group that tells us that criminals are the victims. Lawbreakers should be molly coddled. The person who was robbed or raped is to blame. And the biggest bunch of clowns of all. The "greenies". Trees are for looking at. They musn't be cut down. And some piddly insects must be protected. Who cares, apart from them? What irritates me the most though is the news media. Whenever one of the weirdo's says something it is recorded in headlines and is treated as gospel. No mention is ever made that it is just one person's opinion. About a third of our population are smokers. When was the last time you read anything giving a smoker's opinion? Smoking Kills. So what? I assume the non smokers are never going to die. The whole trouble is, there are too many "anti's" getting too much publicity. And that's my rave for the day. :2cents: :2cents: :2cents:	JJJJJ (528)

Sure the long term old people might have an argument, but I have no sympathy for people who have bought there in the last 10 years at least. Don't like it? Then sell your house and move on. Why buy there in the first place, they knew a massive stadium was just down the road, what did they expect went on there, knitting competitions?	netchicken (4843)
506648	2006-12-14 19:56:00	We have been living in our house in the country for about 10 years. We have just over 2 ha of land. Where we are is only about 10 mins drive west of Whangarei and over the last few years has become a very popular place. Subdivisions going in all over the place. Now we have some trees on one boundary to provide some shelter and shade for the horses when they are in that paddock. Some one bought the land next to that paddock and then decided they would put their house about 5 metres from that boundary. Even though they have about 2 acres they decided that was the best place :rolleyes: Now they have the nerve to ask us to chop down the trees because they are dropping leaves and stuff into their gutters! The lady who lives there also gets bad hay fever and also complained that we needed to have our paddocks mowed!	CYaBro (73)
506649	2006-12-14 20:38:00	Tell them to get stuffed CYaBro.	FoxyMX (5)
506650	2006-12-14 20:41:00	Or the article on the news last night. Buy house near a private Zoo, then because the council changes a bylaw, complain about the noise.	KiwiTT_NZ (233)
506651	2006-12-14 20:43:00	Bwwwaaahhhaaa CYaBro next they will be telling you to paint your house and turn down your TV :) Mowing your paddocks!! where does she think she is living? Collect some noisy animals :)	netchicken (4843)
506652	2006-12-14 21:06:00	Or the article on the news last night. Buy house near a private Zoo, then because the council changes a bylaw, complain about the noise. We only know what the media has told us of course, but that one is a bit different, in my opinion. According to the report the neighbours have been there for years and it sounded like the person in question had been increasing his collection of birds that were getting more and more noisy. I once lived next door to a noisy place and whilst it didn't affect me in that respect, it did my partner to the extent where it caused a lot of tension between us so we had to move. Until you have actually experienced living next door to a lot of noise you can't really appreciate just how stressful it can be.	FoxyMX (5)

If you realy want to make a good fight of it find something that they value (children or pets) and complain about them. Say you are alergic to children, so they must get rid of them. Put them on the defensive.	JJJJJ (528)

The lady who lives there also gets bad hay fever and also complained that we needed to have our paddocks mowed! Some suggestions. 1] Learn to play the bagpipes. Then pipe in the dawn each morning. 2] Get some geese. Mean ones. 3] Start wearing a gang patch. Just make one up. They'll never know. 4] Make a mask like Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre then start chopping up firewood in your back yard with the chainsaw. 5] Go next door wearing welding gloves and ask them if they've seen your pet rat which has escaped. Tell if they see it to call you, and on no account try to handle it. 6] Get up early each morning for a week, and dig a grave-like hole in the back yard. Then fill it in at night, until you have seven obvious graves lined up. 7] Build a set of tiered seats (a small stand) in your back yard, facing the neighbour's house. Then on a Saturday get a bunch of mates round and all sit in the seats staring into the nieghbours. Every time one of them comes outside do a mexican wave or scream Howzat! Once they sell the house normal service can resume.	Biggles (121)
