Also, being borderline for needing the heating on.

Sweating my tits aff in bed the past wee while. Decided last night every window was being left open. Up at 3am for a pish and thought "it's affy cold". Up at 6 for work and f**k me, like living in a freezer.

We're the same - we have aircon and by the middle of the night the wife and son are huddled under the duvet as it's Baltic but no chance they'll let me turn it off

Our neighbours have chickens. Whenever we try to sleep with the window open, these things start their pish at 4 am. Very annoying, just so that she can have a few free eggs or whatever she does with them.

My neighbour has chickens too. I like them. They eat stuff I'm throwing out and are generally soothing to watch.

I find chickens soothing to watch, too. The way they go all golden-brown and crispy over the course of 90 minutes in the oven.

You can apply to Court for something called an "annoying creatures petition":

Hens eat a lot of slugs though and hen poo is good for the plants if you're a gardener.

I seen a video where the guy answers his door to them countering what they have with other door knockers tripe. 
If a salesman comes to the door asking if he has double glazing he replies with "are you ready to let the lord Jesus Christ our saviour save your soul?" and the other way round. 
Seems a decent tactic, tbh.
I used to sell stuff over the phone and got no end of "witty" responses. One time a chap said "How about you give me your number and I'll phone you up when you're having your dinner." I gave him my genuine number and asked what we were going to chat about. Shitebag never followed through.

It was a horrible job but I was actually pretty good at it. Middle-class home counties housewives were the easiest to sell to. Worst shift was when the data we had turned out to be from a children's book club and I spent all day phoning folk up asking to speak to seven year old girls.

You have previous experience with that?
