My neighbour plays the same song – badly – on his keyboard until late. What can I do? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: A neighbour has acquired a new electric keyboard. He’s been picking out the tune The Windmills of Your Mind quite badly with one finger every day, sometimes until midnight.What can I do? J.S., Woonona, NSW A: Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel. Yes, this song can be quite grating, it’s an audial ordeal. It keeps on getting faster and the tune keeps looping round. So I can’t even imagine how you’re dealing with the sound of a guy on a piano, just one-fingered with no
A remark made 84 years ago at ballet school still rankles. Why? (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Q: I’m always having friends over for dinner, but very few of those friends ever invite me back to theirs for a meal. I seem to be the only one hosting dinner parties. Am I right to feel used? M.G., Dandenong, VIC A: Hosting a dinner party is hard work. You’ve got to think of a combination of people who don’t loathe each other. You’ve got to contact those people and all agree on a date.
