That's how I feel about scripts. Not at the point of writing apps yet but I think your beard is rather greyer than mine.

Sometimes I wouldn't mind having one on its jugular…

I'm sure you're getting plenty of it!

Yes, basic sound treatment would do a lot. Where I lived in Paris, a lot of louder bars had 2 sets of doors and heavy curtains.

Bars are the most problematic.

Buy the building? ? I'm not sure, actually…

We do need double glazing. Parents don't think so though. It's only the church that's a problem.

…maybe would could move that instead…?

Heh.

Nah. It's a problem that I can hear the outside world at all when I'm at home. Not having to deal with others is the whole point of being at home.

This apartment…I would never have bought, personally. Its proximity to the church and their habit of using serious amplification for their music means that the bass — and some of that awful singing — is audible.

I'm quite fortunate that I just had an old workstation lying around. "Windows Vista Basic" labelled.
