Bloody planes...
Ok, i think British Air-traffic Control has something against me...
This house now appears to be under three flight paths, with the extra addition that one that helicopters tend to use regularly.
One seems to be higher, smaller planes, and the other seems to be 747s that are really quite low; the latter are the problem, as the noise is tremendous - this entire room (my bedroom) resonates whenever one goes over, to the point where the one that comes along in the early hours of the morning usually wakes me up. This is made all the more frustrating by the fact that this housing estate is completely surrounded by fields... lots of fields, yet these planes seem to be flying almost directly over my house!
So, my question is...
Do i have to put up with this? Unfortunately the comedy "move house" option is a non-starter for the forseeable future, and i could have sworn that we weren't warned about flight paths when we bought the house. In fact, i can't remember there being this many overflights when we bought the house...
So is there anything i can do, eg. request they move the flying ****ers over some nice fields, or do i just have to 'grin and bear it', and continue to lose sleep?

I take it that rocket-launcher-based solutions are out of the question?

Get a popular Clown from a child's TV shoe to run for the house of the commons and change the flight path. You know, so the plays fly over poor people's home like they should (unless your poor then your shit out of luck).

Re: Bloody planes...
Patriot missiles/RPGs aren't really an option, as i don't have a spare couple of million and i don't fancy spending the rest of my life in jail...
any useful suggestions?

In that case, no.

Re: Bloody planes...
Call the airport and lodge a complaint. Call your lawyer. Call your mum and get her to complain.

EDIT: failing that, call your mum's lawyer or your lawyer's mum.

Re: Bloody planes...
I don't think there's really anything you can do about it short of shooting at them as they pass. They could really care less who gets disturbed by planes flying overhead. Maybe if you were insanely rich or something to that extent, which I'm guessing you're not if you have 747's flying low over your house.

How close are you to the airport anyway?

Re: Bloody planes...
Why do people insist on complaining about having planes flying overhead? Just think of it as being an airshow. People pay money to go to airshows, and you're getting it for free, so count yourself lucky.

Actually, the Air Force reserve base is near my house and I watch them practice fancy crap for free with the added bonus they could be learning and I would get to see a some fireworks.

Re: Bloody planes...
YOu can complain about "excessive noise" during anti-social hours (midnight-6am...i think...), and the companies get fined (miniscule amounts admittedly...)
Will be more effective if a group is set up, with everyone complaining individually every time you are disturbed.

Our lesbian neighbours complained when I did this in the middle of the night. Though the incoherent abuse was directed towards their dog that just wouldn't stop ****ing barking. And I neglected to clothe myself =(

Still, they saw more **** that night than they probably will again so if I've turned them straighter I guess it's not all bad.

Mingers, too. Eugh.

Re: Bloody planes...
Possibly.

Though to be honest turning two fat middle-aged lesbian mingers with a twat of a dog more gay doesn't concern me =(
