This could easily be me. I fking hate dirty fking cats, stting in my garden and generally using my bush as shade.
I possess a motion-activated sprinkler for the s, and lay down a large quantity of chilli powder to keep them out. I've had the sprinkler off all summer but have taken to running out of my back door at speed whilst shouting at cats in my garden- probably like a scene from dawn of the dead.
I did have a thread on here once which had all sorts of innovative ways of keeping bd cats out, including one suggestion of chicken wire connected to the mains. I liked that idea.
best way to keep em out is to get you're own tomcat, there like gansta homies with their territory, I can appreciate not liking something.. but hating on an animal is abit special, I possess a motion-activated sprinkler for the s, and lay down a large quantity of chilli powder to keep them out.

did a puddy cat do something to little stu?
Over the winter they used to st in the middle of my lawn. Not in the soil, but smack bang in the middle of the lawn. That resulted in the scarecrow (sprinkler thing).
The chilli powder is behind the bush out the front and so far seems to have worked.
Their very existence doesn't bother me. I'm not a psychotic cat hater, but I don't appreciate the mountains of st they put on my property. Problem here is that every fker in my neighbourhood has cats and dogs, so my garden is the prime target for a territory battle.

The only solution to that is go out and buy the biggest ginger tom you can find. 1) He won't st in his own patch 2) He'll get rid of all the other cats coming on to his territory.
We've got a ginger cat that every so often ends up in our garden. Few days ago my step dad is walking downstairs in the morning and sees a cat at the bottom. Assumes it's one of ours.
It isn't. It's this ginger one. Must have climbed in one of the windows at night.
My mum doesn't like him (he scares the two girl cats, I'm not surprised if she likes cats more than her kids to be honest), that's what I love about cats. The whole 'yeah I'm in your home, not a lot you can do about it'.

I am the man with the three foot high grass in my front garden for one simple reason it winds the hell out of one of my neighbours who is a parish councillor and is desperate for the village to win some britian in bloom award.
It costs me nothing in time or effort and I have various insects and frogs and toads etc in residence(even a few newts).
And it puts a smile on my face every time I pass him in the street

He was out at 9am this morning sweeping the streets and picking up rubbish. There wasn't a single piece of litter in sight.
Apparently he has autism and does all of this (bins, etc) not just on our street and his own, but also a couple of others that run parallel
I like him, perhaps it's you that's odd.Apparently he has autism and does all of this (bins, etc) not just on our street and his own, but also a couple of others that run parallel
When I lived in a studio flat a few years ago, I could hear my neighbour switching the bathroom light on and off. the pull cord type that goes click-click. Not unusual, but he would do it so many times I lost count. Poor guy wasn't all there. Otherwise nice and quiet and kept to himself.
When I were t'lad, living in Stamford Hill (yes), I saw our neighbour collecting the apples that fell into our garden from his tree, leaning over the fence and using a stick with a nail in the end

This reminds me of my neighbours, two women, in the flat downstairs. I often get woken up by them going to the bog. First, there's the sound of the door juddering off the frame (presumably it's misaligned). Then, there's the sound of the click-click light switch, followed by what sounds like a race horse pissing into a tin can from the top of a forty storey building. The volume at which they both piss at is beyond comprehension. CC07 PEU said:

Cat people. fking weirdos the lot of you.
As is the poster with the long grass "just to spite the councillor". Do you not realise you're probably also pissing off half the street? Just cut your lawn ffs - unkempt grass is more council than a 55" tv.
Certainly living up to your name with that post As is the poster with the long grass "just to spite the councillor". Do you not realise you're probably also pissing off half the street? Just cut your lawn ffs - unkempt grass is more council than a 55" tv.
