Big bag of frozen sausages from Asda. Other supermarkets are available but you're up north.

Hammer them into his lawn vertically.

Wait until thawed, and every bird/badger/hedgehog/dog/fox in the area has ripped his lawn a new one.

If it's a big enough lawn, words can be formed in Ardennes style trenches.

Like a big Art Attack.

OP, do you look like Neil Buchanen?

I'm sitting here crying with laughter over the image of hammering frozen sausages vertically into a lawn and even more so when I tried to explain through tears to my French in-laws and they just looked at me straight faced, not getting it at all.
I'm lying on my bed supposed to be revising. So as not to indicate to the parents downstairs that I am in fact on PH, I have spent the last 10 minutes curled up sobbing and shuddering with barely contained quiet laughter rofl

Ice cube with dip in it - turn it over - fill with oil - cover with water?
You've come up with some classics on this site haven't you?

Firstly, the oil will not freeze in a home freezer

Secondly, oil floats on water

I don't think the oil is supposed to freeze. You just need to make a bowl shaped ice container.
And then put oil in it.

So how do you put water 'on top'?

So you can chuck it under the car? Otherwise you'd have to carefully place it, which means you might as well just get under there with the oil can

To stop the oil spilling out when you 'casually throw it under his car'

What you'd need to do is make a cup shape out of ice ( moulded using two plastic cups of different sizes, with water in between them ) and a flat disk of ice which could be frozen onto the top of it once it had been filled with oil wink

OK, but I think we need to get back to the idea of this being a cube, otherwise it might roll out from under the car wink

Trust me on this.

The sounds they can hear downstairs are a squeaking bed, grunting sounds and the tapping of a keyboard.

Your parents have not even considered that you are reading pistonheads.......

Or you could just a syringe to deposit the engine oil underneath the car, would only take a second to squirt it out.

All this chat about ice cubes is madness, madness I tell thee.

Just squirt some on the bottom of his wheel rim and drip it down the bottom of the tyre- he'll think the wheel bearing is leaking.

Place single ice cube with depression facing up in container.

Pour in oil.

Leave on table with another ice cube to melt slightly.

Place second ice cube on top of first with the oil and place the whole thing in the freezer with some of those sausages.

On a slightly more serious note, if I were pushing my daughter's wheelchair along that pavement I would knock on the door and get him to bloody well move his van.

Sounds like a lovely resident to have in the street....

We've been very lucky in having really nice neighbours to the point we have a number of house keys for their houses and vice versa if they ever lock themselves out or are on vacation for us to feed cats take mail in etc.
we've a few old folk living on the street the number of times I and other neighbours have cut others lawns while doing our own is remarkable a real sense of looking out for one another - plus one old couple make cracking home made wine so cut their lawn expecting zero often get a rather nice homemade wine bottle.


Feel for you OP when yuour at home you want to relax not have to deal with issues like highlighted.
Is there a way of getting him included in street activities? Maybe he feels isolated or maybe he just is a grumpy old chap?
