Sorry students, sick and tired of you screaming the F word at the top of your lungs, pouring beer on my front lawn and generally being obnoxious – grow up, it’s almost November! —tired neighbour who has to work and wants to sleep

I sincerely apologize. Seriously.
Taser them.
Garden hose them, cold water in November 🙂
Damm, can’t do that, it’s assault ;-(
Not if they make it like they’re just watering to geraniums ;D
bring the clown back hugo, that is verging on the edge
The only way it will stop is if you contact the UNIVERSITY and complain. They actually take this shit very seriously. They have committees on community relations, etc. If you complain to them they will take action.
But what can they do? Send chaperons to accompany them to the Dome? Enforce an 8:00 curfew?
I don’t doubt they’ll take action, I’m just skeptical, does it really make a difference?
This was such a problem in Wolfville with the Acadia students (especially on the ‘party street’ Prospect) that the town passed a noise by law. Too bad halifax wouldn’t do the same and fine the students who think getting shit faced and screaming their faces off at 3-4am in the morning is attractive.
I feel more sorry for the cab drivers. I had a lovely talk with the guy who drove me home from downtown around 2am last week. He told me some horror stories about obnoxiously drunk young people he regularly has to put up with in his car for sometimes over a half hour drive. Apparently one particularly loud girl had smuggled an open drink out of the bar and spilt it all over him while trying to drink it in the cab and when he kicked her and her friends out she smashed the glass on the sidewalk in an angry fit.
PK, they do enforce it pretty well…
I lived next to 4 ‘students’ (used loosely) who played rugby.
needless to say, I had the fuzz on speed dial within the first week.

PG – what’s that old saying about Rugby players – it’s a gentlemans game played by animals or an animals game played by gentlemen? I forget the actual quote and who said it, heck I forget a lot these days…..
i found two good ones baz
rugby is a beastly game played by gentleman; soccer is a gentleman’s game played by beasts; football is a beastly game played by beasts.

rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies from the centre of the city.

Golf is – a good walk, spoiled.
Fishing is – a jerk on one end of the line, and a trout on the other.
baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.
