    That would be ‘bustards‘ rather than buzzards, right?

    But seriously, you could adopt a set of standing orders for meetings.  In fact, I reckon we should have our own pro forma standing orders posted here so Flat Chat readers can adapt and adopt them. Any thoughts?

    While you are all cogitating on that, how about a quiet word with the strata manager about shutting this person up by a) asking her to show some respect for other attendees when she interrupts; b) telling her she will be asked to leave the meeting if she persists; c) adjourning the meeting until she gives an undertaking to keep quiet (as an absentee owner, she won’t like the idea of having to come back again in two weeks or sit waiting for the meeting to resume).

    I have heard some pretty outrageous methods of shutting up disruptive attendees at meetings.  One building in Sydney used to have a large and muscly gym junkie owner who’d fly into ‘roid rage at the slightest provocation.  Their only way of controlling him was to ask an even bigger bodybuilder tenant who went to the same gym.  The tenant had no right to be at the meeting but a word from him would calm the nutter owner down.  Dontcha just love strata!
