Hahaha sorry for the clickbait. But I do have a genuine problem with a cockeral. A rooster to some folk.
There is a new rooster in the back field. I sleep in the back room. If I sleep at all, I sleep very lightly and still get up several times in the night. This time last year I barely slept at all, less than one hour a night. That lasted around six months. I kid you not. If you think insomnia for a few days or a week is bad...you are correct, it's awful. Now do it for six months. I can't go through that again.
The chap on the allotment in the back field has a new rooster and it's started doodling at dawn. That's okay in the winter, but when spring comes around I can see a real problem.
My options are:
1. Tell him it's an issue. I asked him innocently if he had a new rooster and he went into a half hour rant about the council and the fucker that killed the last one. I don't want to upset him, he's a nice chap and I feel kinda sorry for him. I don't want to upset him. I sometimes also feel I'm the only one that takes time to actually listen to him.
2. Grass him up to the council. That's not my style. The guy is a friend and the council are cunts.
3. Hope someone else grasses him up. That's just dishonourable.
4. Kill the bird. I don't want to do that. I let sodding flies out of the house usually rather than sway them. And how do you catch a cockeral anyway? Not sure how to kill it properly either. Break the neck i guess. I eat chicken. No moral qualms but in reality, not sure I can do that. And yeah, I don't want to do that to him either, poor bloke. Nah, that's just not me. Unless i snap.
But I will not go through that horrific insomnia again and I will kill to make sure that doesn't happen, if it comes to that.
5. The only alternative is to move to the front bedroom. But that fronts the main road and the road noise will keep me awake (such a light sleeper, up at least 2 times a night, can't risk no sleep). I could try and sound proof the windows, but that's expense that I can't afford, and all cuz of a bird that I'd happily eat from Asda.
I swear i seem to make odd problems for myself!
Advice anyone?
