OTHow to **** the neigbours off but not go too far? long

writes gazz wrote: Next door neigbours have turned weird with us, . Or high power ham or CB transmitter deliberately mistuned. Reminds me of a previous house I had where the neighbours at the far end of my garden, 200'+ away fitted a PIR switched flood light that shone straight into one of my back windows. It was set to run for about 5 minutes each time it was tripped, it was also VERY sensitive to RF. They didn't seemed bothered that it illuminated much more than just their property so when I finally flipped I set the beacon timer on my packet TX, amateur radio data TX, to 5 minutes plus a couple of seconds. Their lamp lasted a couple of nights before it finally gave up. Maybe the bulb blew or they turned it off, no idea which but at least it stopped....... That was legal, immoral maybe but legal, not quite so sure about the mistuned TX idea. There again if they have satellite TV and you can see their dish I have a 10GHz sig' gen' that has quite a high output! ;-) Personally I would smile at them and be friendly, should **** them off totally if you don't rise to the bait. Best of luck. -- Bill |

It'd satisfy the "****ing off the neighbours" bit, although I'm not so sure about "but not go too far" :-) Think that counts as going all the way... Besides, it could lead to bigger problems, she might not want to go home! -- Clint Sharp |

In the meantime, arrange things so you can get your vehicles off your drive without over running their drive or damaging anything. Cut some flowers from the garden or soemthing equally nice and take them round. Certainly the best way. The more acid they throw, counter it with more sugar. It will wind them up that you are unresponsive to the aggro. Also you will sleep more soundly to know that you are doing nothing that will come back and bite you. -- AJL Electronics (G6FGO) Ltd : Satellite and TV aerial systems http://www.illifauthouse.co.uk : http://www.ajlelectronics.co.uk |

That'll fox 'em. Tell them you hired a big crane at enormous expense to lift the van out, but it's OK because the DWP are paying for it. Build a fall-out bunker before you do all that, though. my GF saw him putting the pole in the hole he'd dug, and says it's about 3/4 of the length of the pole below ground, he was deffo a very long time digging the hole, as i heard him start it at about 9 in the morning, and he was cementing it in at about 2 in the afternoon, i could tell them that the DWP have increased my benefits as i'm now partialy house bound and have had a quality of life reduction, due to not being able to use the vehicle which is 'specialy adapted' by having an onboard toilet and washing machine for when part of my medical conditions catch me out. bet they'd be out there with the angle grinder within seconds. Can't you order something from one of the building sheds - that needs to be delivered by a lorry with a crane? With any luck it'd flatten the neighbours pole as it backed over it (maybe with a little direction from you :-) |

"michael adams" wrote in message ... "gazz" wrote in message ... Next door neigbours have turned weird with us, why not invite them over saying you want a chat and ask them directly about not getting on well anymore? it might reveal some surprising things? our council offers a 'mediating' service. someone will come and speak to both sides and try to resolve it, maybe you have something similar? better than letting things turn nasty? |

"gazz" wrote in message ... Next door neigbours have turned weird with us, Good for you, this group is not for solving any emotional or psychological problems people have. *So I suggest you go and tell someone who cares. i know half of the problem, i am medicaly retired (progressive joint problems, gut problems, anemia etc), dont have kids, dont smoke, dont drink, dont eat takeaways etc, so all the money i get goes on me, hence i have a motorhome (self built over 7 years and perfectly fine with the DWP.. they even said it was a good thing, gives me something to do rather than being a couch potatoe) I always laugh when people who claim to have such restricted movement Where does the OP make that claim? that it enables them to qualify for benefits climb in to a low sports car - which is on motability finance! *The very action of climbing in and out of a car means they have lied on their claim forms. There are all sorts of reasons for being given help through motability as I know from the case of my late sister who had terminal cancer, but could still get in/out of a car. Until you know what you are talking about, f**k off back where you came from. MBQ |

A good starting point is Kiplings 'Stalky & Co'. It's all online I think. Another good trick is a nice interference generator that gets plugged into the mains or phone system, and wrecks TV/radio/audio/broadband randomly and untraceably. With no pattern. Or *high power ham or CB transmitter deliberately mistuned. Just put up the aerial and wait for them to complain to ofcom about the interference you're causing. Another interesting ploy is the large firework that goes off at 2 a.m. FROM THEIR GARDEN. Or invite all the neighbours but them to a large fireworks party in your garden. MBQ |

You're making the best of what you've got, they're jealous. If you respond to their vile behaviour, you risk becoming contaminated with their bitter hatred. Just get on with your life and don't waste a millisecond on thinking of them. *Smile cheerfully at them, wish them a bright and joyous good day whenever you see them; it will drive them mad. *Speak to the DWP, tell them you think your neighbours are harrassing you by reporting your every move. Does freedom of information legislation allow you to find out who is reporting on you, assuming it wasn't anonymous (which it probably was)? MBQ |

Stop being so helpful ;-) They will be really ****ed off when they can't find their keys / discover a wet car seat oh don't worry, i'm not going to do it again, i did those things before this lamp post thing happened, i thought what i'd like to happen if the roles were reversed, i.e. i'd left my car windows open and it rained and they saw it, tho i now know they'd most likely do nothing, They keep getting slow punctures on their car tyres (or have the same ones and have never had em repaired) as i quite often see him out there with a foot pump for 10 minutes pumping the tyre up. i have a compressor in my garage, a pull out air line and a tyre inflator gun, i've offered him the use of it a few times when i have seen him getting annoyed at having to inflate the tyre with a foot pump, but he's always refused, i offered to inflate the tyre for her when he was at work and she had a flat, but she wanted to wait till he got home. once i was checking my vans tyre pressures with it, and i could see him looking at me whilst he was treading away on the foot pump, when i finished i practicaly put the inflator gun in his hand, but he still wouldent use it, said he was almost done on the foot pump (and pumped away for another 5 minutes to get the tyre anywhere near round) So they really seem to resent me, so balls to them. Are you sure they're not Amish rather than just Christian? MBQ |

Perhaps prepare a list of the ten commandments for them. Highlight the following. * You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. * You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. .... er, well I don't know about if ye have a wife, ox, or donkey and the GF might object to coming under the heading of a slave, by ye get the gist. Maybe a quiet word to their priest / vicar. -- Adrian C |
