No, murdering them all beforehand is not an acceptable answer, you monster. A plastic hawk might do. Or a plastic Smudger. Of course you'll have to improvise with what you have available in the house although I don't think Squirrel Nutkin is going to be terrified by a blow up doll.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he could play his Brotherhood of Man CDs at maximum volume - that would make them keep their distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a Cowdenbeath v Arbroath game in the late 80s. The pre-match music included "Tie a yellow ribbon". Perhaps they'd just been given a pile of unsold records from the local charity shop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they'd just been given a pile of unsold records from the local charity shop I remember back in the day that singing “I Did It My Way” was a favourite by das and uncles at social occasions. Invariably sang by guys who had done fùck all with their lives and had struggled to achieve that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I don't have a blow-up doll yet. I don't own any Brotherhood of Man CDs, although I was wondering if Leonard Nimoy might work just as well. Think I might start in the morning once they've had their morning exercises, drop some nuts down under their trees to keep them occupied, varnish the fence, then start the incinerator going nearby. Fire ought to put them off for the rest of the day, and the heat will help the fence dry. Alternatively, I could just burn the fucking fence down and eat the nuts. We'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it might be easier to order some online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 MOT is due next month (14th June to be specific) so I'm assuming this new grace period will see my car included - have they put an end date on this 6 month rule? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
