Is anybody else experiencing/enduring the alarm that is going off in the centre of Town (ish) right now? It's being going off consistently since 2.00am this morning!!! I feel like I'm becoming brainwahed. If so, does anybody know where it is coming from? Not because I want to get close to hear it louder but rather I want to find the person responsible & stand on their face.

20 minutes since my post & no responses! This must be a discreet & personal experience - like my family having shared tinnitus

Herbert 10.08 and just silenced. Orignated from the Hertford Womens Society, I did offer to silence the bells with a sledgehammer but they alreasy had a man on the job.

Had same problem with Bengeo Club. It took them a while to stop false alarms after their alterations. I reckon alarm systems take a while to become stable and be set right in new or refurbished premises.

Thanks for that John - I though I was going mad. So it was the Hertford Women's Society eh? Only been there a week and already keeping me awake. Wiggintons, with all it's fancy line in figurines & stuff, never woke me once. :o)

walked past it at 7.10, remember when I lived in W'mstow a guy took an axe to one, can't say I blame him..perhaps the council could gain more money by fining shops/homes whose alarms go on for more than...?

To be fair, I saw a couple of geezers armed with stepladders, screwdrivers & bewildered faces looking up at the noise machine when I went past. Seeing that, all my previous, jumpy on face, anymosity was dissipated. Indeed, perhaps this is a new sophisticated form of merchandising. To me it sounds like 8 hours of constant through-the-night wailing, but to the female ear it might be sub-concious sensorial manipulation to suggest 'come and buy some, errm, stuff that we sell that will help you manage the (morally inexcusable) fact that you are earning (on average) 17.5% less than your bumbling hairy-arsed male colleagues......' Meeeeeeee-maaaaaaaww-meeeeeeeee-maaaaaaaw If that isn't what they are doing then I claim intellectual rights on it.

Herbert - don't rise to it.... Ahhh, ok. I see. Does nothing for me either.

I'm still a beta male, but I hope to go live with the alpha version after a period of testing and evaluation.

The barbed comments - here and in other threads - that you have for some reason directed at me have been hurtful, and I am grateful to Admin that he has removed most of them. As far as I can see you have added nothing of factual interest to this Forum but you have made endless posts about yourself, or posts bullying others into action. This Forum used to be an enjoyable hobby, but I am starting to agree with Wingnut and the others who feel that just recently it's become very polluted. I'm sure you will have a suitably barbed or witty response for the world to enjoy.

I mentioned this at some point last night - why does everybody seem to know who I am yet I have no "bleedin'" idea who they are? Am I engaging in self-indulgent forum paranoia - where I see every innocent contribution as a thinly veiled reference to my real (& quite lovely) self? Help me - it's ages before the White Horse opens.

In reference to my previous post I'm not suggesting that I stand proud from the South side of a simian in a pink and angry fashion. More that I'm a bit silly - which I probably should have said in the first place. I'm glad we cleared that up.

Nora, I apologise if you have taken a little light hearted banter the wrong way. Anything I have typed has not been in any shape or form at the detrement of your good self. I will add that I have actually made some valuable points within most forums. Whilst we are on the subject of postings, you might like to have a read at the thread I am about to post regarding a dentist. Maybe if everyone clubbed together, I could (metaphorically speaking of course!) get my mouth sewn up. After I have spat out the humble pie first I might add. Apologies for upsetting you, it was never intended, hope you had a good day.

Herbert, I must confess, I also know who you are! I hope I haven't added to your feelings of paranoia. [:D][8D][:I][;)][^][:)]

Oh my God, Sarah. Really? It would appear I am my very own Truman Show (what a steaming heap of b****x that was- but the metaphor is made). In a previous post did I unwittingly contribute my address and a photograph? Anybody who feels they would like to lighten my paranoia are encouraged to send me an email confessing their identity. It's important, though, that respondants should be handsome and intelligent, otherwise it's better that we maintain a text-based relationship. Hee hee :o)

To add to paranoia and confusion....Herbert, you don't know me.....and I have no idea who you are.

I have to accept that the alarm stopped some days ago and with it the premise of this collaborative text episode has little validity in persisting. Nonetheless it means a lot to me to have shared the discomfort of the moment and its aftermath with y'all [cough]. 60sDJ - Do not be disheartened by the apparent laundering of your contributions. Some of my finest work has gone that way... I now find it better to see our part in the forum as characters in a Homeric tale. This is a domain where there are grander and more powerful bodies exerting influence. Zeus, sorry, Admin - as the instigator of this 'thread' can I now play my joker and ask for publishing euthanasia? I've had a great time - but this wasn't it! :o)
