Belgian police have demanded that Lola, a theatre-starring donkey, be removed from the balcony of a cultural centre in Brussels after neighbours complained about her braying.

Lola is staying on the first-floor balcony while she performs in a play at the Arab Cultural Centre, located in the same building in the Belgian capital.

So it's a donkey show.

Grazing on astro-turf, no doubt.

Everyone knows the sound a donkey makes.

But not everyone knows a braying donkey can make you wonder if WWIII has started, when they get into it for 10 minutes, about 05:30 hours.*

It's not a wonder that the neighbors are complaining. It IS a wonder that some neighbor hasn't shot said donkey, yet.

*maybe that was just my neighbors donkey, but it was twice as loud as a barking dog, easily.

The stables near me sometimes house donkeys. There was one that used to stay up in the top field that was really friendly. Haven't seen it this year though.

They are quite loud.

A Lola Donkey is too loud, that's why we have a Lola Bunny.

Not every day you see a donkey with a camel toe.

You go, Lola.
It's a temporary inconvenience.

Unlike the baby who could penetrate two sets of double glazing in order to wake me up.
Or the yappy dog across the court which spoils my lovely sleep-fantasy (no, it's not a naughty one, it's akin to meditation.)
