We won't be moving that's for sure ..the thing is he still says 'alright' well mumbles to me if I do come out the house, but ive not seen him since last time as I've been working , but he's getting told firmly , and I don't think he is mentally Ill because he does work on his house all time he put new fences up on the other side a few weeks ago and he has been helping his son paint his house last week , he's getting ignored. God help him when I take the engine out after Christmas and roll the engine crane past him 
Offer to give him a hand on a job (NO that's not what I mean and you know it!), will disarm him completely.Be nice and friendly, will put him completely off his stride.
Run a v8 with no exhaust while running in a new camshaft
I've got a full build thread if you have a look man , I've done everything from subframe reinforcement to the headgasket and just want it mint and changes last things out that haven't been done by me , most stuff I did at my last address, and the clutch has started to slip so I need to do that as well. ...it never ends dude lol
. . I'm sure I used to live next door to the same bloke! I didn't shout and swear at him, you can get in trouble for that. I called him over when nobody else was around to hear and whispered very quietly and calmly in his ear describing exactly what I was going to do to him if he ever shouted his mouth off at me again. It did the trick.

Can you help me? I have a decatted TVR that's a little grumbly at around 6000rpm. As someone who can perform basic maintenance on your cars, would you be available at 8am one Sunday morning to help me check the revs and make sure my car is reaching 6krpm safely?
I think anyone would moan about that to be fair - Saturday 3pm is fair game.PAULJ5555 said:

my girlfriend thinks something will happen, she wont even play music in garden anymore due to him ,
To be fair, this is incredibly council and shouldn't be done, by any one outside of a temporary party. Even then i would find it questionable.You sound a bit like the neighbour.
I have a neighbour just like that, she's a f
king nightmare, she kicked off last night after I parked my car.
Old peoples complex has entrance next to my house, I am end of terrace.
Their entrance keep clear with white lines.
I park my car on the end, and park my wheels near enough on the white lines as everyone else does because we all know if you don't, you lose a car parking space on the street.
Now the rear of my car overhangs slightly onto the keep clear, so does everyone else, however no ones cars overhang into the physical entrance, the rear of everyone's car are about 2-3 foot in from the end of the wall.
She never asks anyone else to move, always me, she asked again last night, I got out of my car, looked at the rear end in line with the wall by 3 feet or so, looked at her, walked a from my back bumper in a straight line over the flower bed and into the wall, shook my head at her, laughed and told her to get a life that doesn't involve others and to never speak to me ever again.
This is the same woman who kept telling me my car was an eyesore and I shouldn't park it near my house because she didn't like the colour, after I plastidipped it neon blue, and sent me notes asking me what I was going to do about the pussy willows falling in her car park off my tree, she asked me if I got her note and what I intended to do with it, my reply of
"I've already acted on the note my dear, it got my fire going the other night, thanks for the tinder"
Your best bet is to ignore them as best as you can and slyly troll them at the same time, oh and definitely get a drill and screw his gate shut

wind him up with sarcasm and passive aggressive language. Be very careful not to threaten or swear but make "designed to inflame" comments like "i will do what i like and theres nothing you can do" etc.
Hopefully he will explode in a ball of rage and/or have a heart attack and problem is solved.
If he goes psycho and lashes out, again problem is solved as the 5-0 will sort it out for you.

I think anyone would moan about that to be fair - Saturday 3pm is fair game.Reminds me of a friend of mine who lives in an apartment block. There's a women who owns some of the flats (not his) and walks around picking fault with anybody who lives on the estate. He'd told me some stories but until you see it for yourself...
He bought a 1994 Polo 1.0 recently, the head gasket failed within 3 weeks and the car conked out. We had the bonnet up and were looking for anything obvious (HT leads etc) she came over and said "This is one of those cars with the turbo exhausts. I know about them you know. Take it off or I'll call the Police because you're making lots of noise" I was dumbfounded. The car is a 1.0 4 speed Polo with a standard exhaust nutter.

Poor bloke - he's obviously bored and has literally nothing else to do with his life.
As above.I went to our village parish council meeting (just like Vicar of Dibley
) and many were amused by a request from the next village's "committee" to rid the skies of the helicopters - the route to the North Sea rigs takes them over us ..... crikey they are 000's of feet up!
