Little things that irritate you

Hate the stench of foxes piss. Especially when the dog rolls in it and comes back into the house and jumps onto the sofa.

I've never used them, in all the time I've been driving - headlights or nothing (which my car does on auto as well; doesn't even have an auto sidelight option)
I was taught that side lights were "parking lights" for when you leave your car somewhere that the lighting is not too good, enabling other vehicles to see it better. If the light is bad enough that you need lights on you should always turn on your headlights. The number of idiots you see with side lights on in poor visibility is shocking, obviously no idea that they just can not be seen clearly.

People who shut their dogs out in the garden at stupid o'clock, & allow them to bark insessantly. Had this from 0530 this morning, & you feel like putting a bullet in the dog, but it is probably the owner that is more deserving.

We used to have neighbours who did this pretty much every morning, I believe their nextdoor neighbours got the council noise people involved in the end as the people still did it after polite words.

Liam Gallagher, I'd love to put the nut on the pr*ck, even if it meant having a tear up with his minders.

Do they lock them out or just let them out?

Quite often I'll let mine out late at night or early in the morning and the silly ****ers will start barking at nothing and wont shut up despite me shouting "shut up you little bastards" down the garden at them. It's hard to stop them once they start.

We've tried a few remedies (pepper, man wee, chemicals) but nothing seems to work :(

Copied loads to it, but when I went to read it, the folder structure was there, but no content. Try the software below. (HP USB disk format tool) It fixed mine, & may work on yours. If your USB sticks are useless, you have nothing to lose.
Not even going to bother. It's not worth risking the data I need to have on them. If they have done it once and they are snide, it's not a case of if it goes wrong again, it's a case of when. Only fit for the bin, though I am working on Toshiba to see if they are interested in having them so they can put a warning on their site like they have done with other snides. You never know, they might send me a couple of genuine ones as a thank you :lol:

as a responible dog owner i always always pick up if my dog craps while taking him for a walk, it amazes & fu**ing infuriates me that people think its ok to let their cats wander off & p**s & s**t all over their neighbors gardens & dig fu***ng big holes all over it, as i've said before don't fu**ing blame me if your vermin goes missing after its s**t all over my garden because i promise you it fu**ing will.

Do you think this would work with foxes and is there anything hotter than scotch bonnet that I could lay my hands on?

Tuned into that show on CH 4 last night hoping for some tips to get rid of them and it was a show for bloody doo gooders who like having them in their gardens and wanting to tag them with gps sensors and watch their every movement.
I saw a bit of this. Foxes give me the hump. A couple of years ago in my old flat, I came back to a fox sitting directly infront of my front door on my matt. I was walking up the stairs to get in the door when it didn't move but started growling/snarling at me etc. I got right up close to it and it didn't move a muscle so I booted it right in it's boat. Then it swiftly moved... :wink:

Cheers Dover & Iron Spine.

I'll get down the shops at the weekend.

If the bonnet doesn't get 'em the Webley it is (which does sound like more fun!!) :twisted:

This was covered in last weekends press and deserves a mention and its the cost of replacement razor blades. Absolute rip-off. Not sure it belongs in this thread or a "Manufacturers and retailers whom are complete robbing bastards" thread...The likes of Gillette and Wilkinson Sword or the retailers who sell them at such an extortionate mark-up have much to answer for.

That latest BT ad series about the three young housemates. The girl in it is worth a rattle though.... :thup:

PS. for cat haters, try the sensors which emit an ultra sonic noise which is only audible to them and scares them off.
