I empathise completely. We have a neighbour who starts his karaoke machine in the garage, 15m away from our bedroom window, at around 9pm most nights. It's loud. He is Vietnamese. With very poor english. And tone deaf. MoTH is a professionally trained singer, so it drives him nuts. Fortunately, he doesn't 'sing' any tunes we are familiar with..... :0)

(and the spell check wants to 'americanise' my spelling. :P )
