It's unacceptable.  I can hear the pounding bass rumble behind closed double glazing @ turnpike lane.

And a reminder of those key phone numbers again...

I can't hear anything here in the back of the house mid-Ladder with the backdoor open and Ella singing but we shall see if the real gig is more intrusive rather than the tuning up.

Just had a visit from a lovely gentleman with a sound meter after my complaint to Council Licensing on 020 8489 8232 (office hours).

It seems that they're getting plenty of complaints and that the council is is trying to get on top of the nuisance.

And there was I thinking "Wireless Festival" was an exhibition of antique wireless models for nostalgic viewing and listening.

Good News Headline: the mononymous Drake (rap-cousin to the Canada Goose) has come down with chicken pox or fowl pest of some virulent strain, so cannot travel.

Bad News Headline: Kanye Kardashian West hasn't caught it yet.

I'm preparing several little test-tubes of other strains of duck & drake dysentry to be placed at strategic points around the Park. 

Enjoy your weekend, if you can manage to emigrate from Koberland.

I was also thinking of antique wireless models.  Such a disappointment!

Years ago when a friend's elderly mother died, her flat was pretty much how it had been many decades before.  He claimed her old radio worked fine.  But that the news broadcast was still Neville Chamberlain reporting on his visit to Herr Hitler.

Thousands of people seem to love and sometimes collect old radios and TVs. There are also "bootleg" copies of old radio and TV shows around. Luckily, since the BBC has to rely on these illegal recordings to fill gaps in its own archive.

With the current cheapness of hard drive storage I've wondered if anyone has ever marketed a "time machine" radio with a dial which pretends to let you "tune-in" to past gems?

We heard it early evening in Lausanne Road where we thought it was a car.  Doesnt seem to be so bad now so maybe that was the sound testing.

What's the number to ask them to turn it up?
