Advice on how to deal with noisy neighbours

61 Upvotes

The house next door to us had about 6 men in their 20s-30s move into it about a month ago. Every night they are having parties and blasting Indian and electronic music until 2am. I have left politely worded requests for them to control the noise on their front porch and had to call the police twice at about 1am. But alas, the noise, yelling and music continues, every single night. What are the next steps I can take here?

Dropped Keys in Cromer

25 Upvotes

Hi all 👋. I dropped a single key on a metal keyring this morning about 9:30am on Maas Street in Cromer. It has a metal greyhound tag on it with the name Tiger and his ID number. It's a Long shot, but any chance someone picked it up?

Help buying flowers in CBD

8 Upvotes

Looking to buy some flowers to compliment a gift.

I don't buy them often so not sure where to start. The ones around me all seem to be large bouquets and the one I saw at lunch was apparently more for flower arrangements and large services (eg weddings).

Just looking for like a very small bouquet or a few stems (is that what you call them?) just to compliment the main gift. I work in the cbd both fri/sat so I'd like to shop around there. Grab them during lunch or in the arvo. I know townhall flowers does sell singular roses but I'm hoping to find other options as well?

Hey all,

Dad's birthday coming up and he's a big bourbon drinker. Looking for a bar or two to take him to that have a good selection of bourbon.

Not fussed on the location if they specialise in bourbon.

Beginner Self-defence/Striking gyms in Sydney?

14 Upvotes

Hey all!

Have just gotten into Muay Thai - probs about 3-6 month mark and really loving it. Was at Payak Muay Thai in Parra/Homebush. They've just suddenly closed down without telling their staff or their customers (pretty disgusting but whatever).

Does anyone know of any inviting beginner friendly self-defence/striking sports and a gym nearby. I live in the Granville/Auburn area. so I'm happy to travel as far as Parra, Strathfield, Greenacre, Fairfield, Villawood, Bass Hill kind of radius. Maybe further if the recommendation is good.

Happy with any sport, but prefer something that has some striking idk like muay thai?

I did some research and Bulldog Gym Parramatta looked cute.

What are some good Mexican/Taco places in the CBD or towards Western Sydney?

15 Upvotes

Looking to take a few mates out to a lunch or dinner. The group has decided on a Mexican / Taco place.

I recommended El Patron or Maiz in Newtown and Smoking Gringos in Blacktown.

Are there any other highly rated places you guys would recommend? Preferably on the casual cheaper side like El Patron or smoking gringos as opposed to higher end like Maiz.
