I'm sorry, but this is a (long) rant. The neighbours horrible children have started up again. Yet another round of yelling, whining, crying, shouting, stomping around, hitting and general unpleasantness.

I've been trying to ignore those demonic crotchfruit for the best part of two years and my patience is wearing desperately thin.
Their father (from what I can see) is often away and the two boys (about five and four respectively) are terrors. The eldest constantly taunts and picks on the youngest. Who cannot speak in anything other than screams or whines. The eldest will then be screamed at by his mother. And will then start crying and screaming (such gems as "I didn't do it - you did!" are popular, as is "Gimme! I wannnit!!!" and the old favourite of bloodcurdling screams). Round and round it goes until the whole damn neighbourhood is echoing from the spawn of Satan currently residing at No 24.
The appearance of a trampoline seemed a hopefull sign that they might wear themselves out but they untiringly take it in turns to push eash other off the damn thing instead. The pusher generally screams "Minemineminemine!!" and the pushee runs screaming around the backyard as if mortally wounded. Am I a bad person to think about sneaking in the yard when they've gone to church and cutting a few longs holes in the mat??
