The geezer who elected to spend about an hour bellowing at his girlfriend at five-thirty (I know it was five-thirty because he shrieked this fact at her) this morning in the alleyway behind by house.
My ire is compounded by the fact that when I stuck my head out of the window and screamed 'shut up' like the cockney housewife I am, the bloke started having a go at her for keeping people awake, when in fact his girlfriend's responses had been so quite throughout that it was only when I put my head out that I realized she was actually there, rather than being roared at down the phone.
