Metal Guitarist Hein Krassedal yesterday asked his neighbours if they could turn down the volume „just a teeny tiny trifle“. He then launched into an embittered and detailed account of his recent gigs during the „Social Sklerosis“ tour and the effect this had on his aural system.

„Don’t you know that loud and violent sounds can permanently dislodge the stapes and even lead to apoptosis? Who do you think I am, your soundroom dummy? Can’t you for Satan’s sake please quit that obnoxious, through the wall Cembalo playing?“

Pensioners Geoff and Margaret Spicker immediately obeyed the request and noiselessly shut the door.
