See the thing is your not having a big enough party, we threw one at uni for two of my house mates 21st, about 100 people turned up (totally wreck our house but we were prepared for it) including most of the university rugby teams (my house mate was playing for the firsts) so we didnt really get anyone barging in and shouting any thing, would have probably gotten a big FO from the lot of us.
So my advice, throw the biggest party you can untill the police tell you to keep it down

yeah- tis a funny one- its the same reason as why you cant beep your car horn after 11pm (i actually had a mate pulled for that by a bored copper).
obviously, if your neighbours dont mind, then its all good, but they would have a legitimate legal complaint if they did mind.
nothing to worry about though- the police just knock on the door and say "please turn it down"

Reasonable, decent and student ....... do NOT go together in the same sentence in my experience; also aptly demonstrated by some of the posters here.
Just cos you think you can doesn't mean you have to.
The thing is .... in my experience, most of the idle scrotes want to sleep throughout the day when us reasonable people are awake, so it could be really easy to do a tit for tat and keep them awake all day; wouldn't get either party any further forward but might demonstrate the problem.
I appreciate that the OP is trying to be reasonable with someone who appears somewhat less so and think that a letter informing the neighbour is a good thing (invite may solve all the probs) but 11pm is a reasonable time to turn the 'music' down.

I can understand why people don't like students. Most are
- Noisy all the time,
- Use abusive language when they drink which is on a pretty regular basis
- Up all hours of the night creating a racket
- Live in a house that they don't maintain to a good standard
- Park their cars in the local's car parking spaces
- Fag butt's over the fences
- Invade Asda and McDonald's
To name a few reason's to dislike them. However, Im pretty sure (certainly where im at uni) this is the minority. Most accept that we can be a pain in the arse as we do. We're simply trying to go the best way about ensuring that no one get's upset when we decide to throw a party.
As for being Idle scrotes: I think this is a pretty damn rude comment. Student's are at university to learn, it's not compulsory (sp?). Sure, theres a few that are only there for the social side but they get filtered out through the first year and are shipped back home. The rest of the students are trying to learn to make sure they have a future and hopefully improve their quality of life later on.

Be better to knock on his door, and tell him to his face, he's gona think yer just a big girls blouse if you write a letter to him, he'll be laughing at you, and will probably make a fuss anyway when you have the party, as he knows your **** scared of him.

Although i agree in principle, in reality even the hardest working students arn't opposed to staying up till 4am getting hammered and smoking copious illegal substances, i only graduated a few years ago so i'm hardly an old man
I'm with dirtydog on this one, students think they have a god given right to do whatever they want, not trying to sound like a typical taxpayer here, but us hard workers do pay for this countries university system, loans and couse fee's cover about 25% of the total cost, the rest is shouldered by mr and mrs next door. Trust me, give it a few years once you're graduated and you'll feel the same way, theres such a big ideology these days about 'the poor student', that its taken as a liberty to get away with anything.
I'd be interested to know what you party lovers would say if the guy next door had a new born baby and prefered to keep his walls intact after 7pm, would you respect that or happily make their lives miserable for the sake of it?

Why dont you just go and knock on his door with a 6 pack and say last time we were both out of line. Can we do things a bit different?
Having a small party on xyz that will be quietened by 1am at the latest.
Here's so beers to apologise in advance for the noise.

Yeah it is regarding the OP's situation, indeed - I was just talking in general terms after I realised he lived in a detached house. Also it sounds like he is prepared to be a little reasonable at least. I used to live in a very noisy flat with students upstairs.. the irony of me trying to sleep to go to work to pay taxes for them to be students wasn't lost on me. Also if they had stopped at midnight I would have been delighted. Ah happy days
Inform the guy, verbally. Also state that the noise will be gone by 11pm.
To be honest, he may not like it but what is he gonna do about it? Cry? Key your car?
Happy partying!
FYI, I live in a detached house. My nearest neighbour is about 50 meters away. I could host an indoor artillery range or rock concert and not even bother the neighbours!

.... you can use the tax payer argument for pretty much anything do you smoke ? or drink costing the NHS or will cost the NHS in the future? or any of the other million things Tax pays for

Sounds like the way ahead to me.
Possibly ask what time he thinks is acceptable to turn the music down.
If he says 19:00 then explain that its a party not a wake and suggest 23:00.
If he says 23:00 or later then your on to a winner.

No i don't smoke, not suprisingly i think smokers should pay a premium tax for costing the NHS more than the rest of us
but thats another story altogether.chimaera said:No i don't smoke, not suprisingly i think smokers should pay a premium tax for costing the NHS more than the rest of us
Obese people then fall into this same category ? What you may forget is how much money goes from the sale of tobacco into the NHS.
Getting back on topic though. I had some nightmare neighbours, but then im in a semi and have 2 young children. Circumstances should be the deciding factor. 11pm just to turn the music down i think is cool and would salute you for being a considerate neighbour. As most people here say, invite him along, say 11pm the music will be turned down. You are then staying within the law and nothing can be done.
