if you were to go postal, how would you do it?
As I explained last night, I was beset by noisy teenagers on my way down to Dublin yesterday. But it didn't end there. We had an alarm going off all night in one of the flats above and are now being entertained by a bass-laden broadcast from another flat. Don't you just love city living?
My esteemed fellow-blogger has spotted me giggling and rolling my eyes and, fearing that the neighbours might end up wearing her bodhrán as an Elizabethan-style ruff (or maybe she is worried about my imaginative intentions towards her cipín), is taking me off to Wicklow for the weekend.
Adieu.

Nick:
Flats are a quality-of-life disaster area. Never live in one unless you're desperate. Anyone who's lived in a flat could tell you 101 horrendous stories of neighbour nuisance and all-night parties. Whoever invented this crap housing concept should have been hung, drawn and quartered.
Ciarán:
Actually Nick, I'm a big fan of high-density living if it's done properly. It's far more sensible in a vast range of ways, both social and environmental.
My neighbours certainly irritate me, but what really pisses me off is high-density living in buildings with no sound-proofing, either inside or out. I mean, why is this not a pre-requisite in designing these buildings? Give me a flat in Stockholm any day!
