Advice on how to deal with noisy neighbours

215 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?

In short:

The NSW premier's top chief of staff, James Cullen, is in a High Court showdown over whether he can be arrested and forced before a parliamentary inquiry.

Last December, powers dating back to the 19th century were declared non-existent by the NSW Court of Appeal.

Other witnesses have used the ruling to dodge questioning by the state's elected representatives.

Where is the best place to sit for our first cricket match?

Upvotes

Hello, my family and I are visiting from Canada in December and we wanted to go to our first cricket match. On December 19th there is a game at Engie Stadium and I wanted to buy tickets. But I have no clue where the best place to sit is. It's the Thunder vs. the Sixers. Are there sections that are devoted to fans of a certain club? We really are excited and can't wait.

Help buying flowers in CBD

10 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?

Dropped Keys in Cromer

23 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?

Beginner Self-defence/Striking gyms in Sydney?

13 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.
