Random Irritations

Man City.
No not for the normal reasons.
Just discovered the football is on the same night as I am taking Junior Squirrel 1 to an event at the Coop Arena Manchester, so all local parking closed and it will be rammed. Now have no idea where to park or how to get there.

If Man City are playing, it’s probably not going to be that busy

If you have a zoo nearby ask if you can have some lion straw bedding or droppings. Work it into your borders, problem solved. You also won’t get any zebra or gazelle graving on your lawn.

Was it Tommy Cooper who said "I sprinkled gorilla powder all over my garden and it works a treat"?

What annoys me about my neighbours cat in my garden is that despite many attempts he has still failed to catch the rat that also visits my garden.

Next doors cat has decided that my garden is the best place to poo in.
Any ideas how to stop it ?
I don’t want a dog

Get some chickens. Neighbourhood cats were scared of ours!

Our new VW works van. 1st time driving it today. Why does every operation have to be done via the touch screen? Just trying to operate the ventilation system is a joke. Not surprised people have accidents if they are looking at that instead of at the road ahead.

But you have to house the hens at night, or Mr Fox will ave em.

Thus providing plenty of time for said cat to perform their ablutions

Also the current avian flu regs say that all poultry needs to be in covered housing at all times until the rule is lifted

Or buy a Norwegian Forest cat or Maine Co on and hope they go next door

The sweary filter stopped me putting the proper name of the cat breed in, I’m irritated

A neighbour of ours placed plastic bottles nearly full of water around her front garden and it stopped our cat going there for a poo. Something to do with the cats not liking the light reflecting off the water I think.

I've seen this in gardens on our estate. I'd forgotten about it. Good shout

Every now and then, on this thread, everyone starts talking crap!

Have a look at a site called YourParkingSpace, it shows people who rent their driveways out. I've used it loads for football away days.

Another one is just park. Have used it a fair few times and never had any troubles. Not a problem to cancel but your refund is held on your account to use for your next parking booking.

Keep a loaded Super Soaker by the back door. Only takes a few near misses or a partial strike and it will give your garden a miss.
Have tried lemon, cayenne pepper, rosebush cuttings in strategic places; none of them worked.

Oh he’s caught the rat - you are seeing another one…and he’s caught that as well…and all the others…
