Oh, it's worse when they are amateurs - I have an amateur keyboard player (oh yes, with the jazzy tones) and a girl who has guitar lessons from her boyfriend - sickening.

Ah yes - at least mine are all very good. Even the accordion guy seems to be good, but I'd really rather he wasn't playing!

And you wonder why I want to live away from the college...

Ha! Someone in Clare does actually play the bagpipes! Very well, apparently, but the practice rooms are right next to the library, so he's not too popular...

Joey - this is just part of uni life. At other places (even other staircases/colleges here) it would be terrible rock music, or worse, dance, which would be even worse.

Lol. Dance music. Quality music indeed :tongue:

I cant see why you'd not appreciate the effort put into producing a dance 'tune'.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...I live on a staircase full of musicians and am used to singing/playing at all hours of day and night.


There's a cut-off limit for them playing live music, I think it's 10, they shouldn't do it after that.

Recorded music is acceptable at any time as long as it isn't disturbing others...


Personally I just annoy people with my hifi, well I do try not to, but I love bass.

No, mostly they don't. I have heard Elgar's Cello Concerto being played (properly, not a CD) at midnight though. And my next door neighbour is always singing, even when he gets up early to do his essays (although after a few choice words from me, he doesn't do that so much any more).

Hehehe you sound like the staircase hard nut :tongue:

No doubt you'll retire to the library or any library in exam term though, all the medics do, then stay there until they close. I think last year your college mum ended up spending time in the law or economics faculty libraries because it was quieter than the FML, though that did seem quite excessive.

Theres a clog dancer who lives in the flat next door to me (note: I'm not at cambridge). Our toilets back onto each other and you can hear her singing and dancing in her bathroom at all times of the day and night (she dances in there as the floor is hard). Myself and my flatmates have tried competing with the racket by all piling into our toilet to stamp up and down and wail abit. Strangely she seems to have quietened down a little!

It's a shame you won't be in memorial court next year, I'm a big fan of Mindless Self Indulgence/Anal Cunt/RATM/Mars Volta :P I don't *think* it'll be loud enough to be heard from the Colony or wherever you go. No jk, last thing I want to do is piss off the people I'm going to be living next to for a year.

From the window in our kitchen you can sometimes see a lady practising lap dancing in her front room.

I'm nice really, and I put up with his singing apart from that, but really, does anyone want to hear Confutatis Maledictis at 4am?

I was in the library for quite a while today, but not too productively, I fear. Large essay in tomorrow, amount actually written = 0

Blissy - why is she practising lap dancing?

It overlooks non-student houses. I suppose that is what normal people do....
