How to annoy the entire street

If it's not in a smokeless zone, and if his house has a reasonably high chimney so the smoke spreads far and thinly, rather than remaining close to the house, then is there anything *legally* that he is doing wrong? You may not like the smoke, but that's a different matter.

It may be his main form of heating: if you force him to stop using it, he may have to go to considerable expense to change to another form of heating. I bet he really *loves* living next to you.

Our next door neighbour has a black labrador. It seems to spend hours on end barking continuously as it runs around the garden. It does not seem to be barking at anything. It's not lonely because it does it when she is with it as well as when she's inside. Maybe it's saying "let me come inside; I don't like being outside".

Not by enough to matter in that respect.

Most of them are quite selective about what they bark at.

Dogs barking arent mostly sounding an alarm. They are basically saying 'this is my place, how dare you walk past it' most of the time.

Anyone who knows anything about dogs knows the difference between the types of barks.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you don't have a f****ng clue how dogs operate, or about anything else at all either.

Yep.

You cant take out a burglar alarm with a gun and you wouldn't be able to hit one anyway. You'd f*ck that up completely just like you f*ck up everything else.

Funny how 30 years ago there were no wheelybins. The binmen lifted the bins onto their shoulder and tipped them into the cart.

Actually I find my general waste is the heavy one, when I put stuff like rocks and plasterboard in it. The garden waste is by its very nature mostly air.

Yeah, a few do that. They are basically just bored out of their minds.

Those saying that usually don't do it like that, they most scratch at the door and bark.

Bullshit. Every single house round here uses gas heating (except me, I installed a heat pump). He opted to change his to a wood burning stove so he could burn any old free shit he pinches from the local dump. I can smell the varnish and paint from it. In Scotland we have rules, you can't just shove smoke into someone else's window. He'd have to have a chimney twice the height of his house to stop it blowing directly into the open window of a neighbour.

He is diagonally behind me and he doesn't know it's me complaining.

Those were much smaller bins, stupid.

That's the trouble with dogs, they only have about three words. Not the brightest of animals.

What I find amusing is when my parrots imitate a neighbour's dog. This drives the dog insane as the parrot repeats it exactly. You could achieve the same effect by recording your neighbour's dog and playing it back through a large speaker in your garden. This would have the added effect of teaching your f****it of a neighbour not to pollute the air with noise.

Until we tell him. I've already worked out which house is his and yours.

The cleverest thing a dog can do is fetch a ball. I don't think they're intelligent enough to get bored.

Unless it's been told off for removing the paint.

Damned sight smarter than you.

Corse you wouldn't be doing that yourself, eh ?

More pig ignorant drivel. They can work out who is a problem and who isnt.

You wanna watch a good huntaway herding sheep and making them go where they don't want to go.

They don't change to running around the backyard if that has been done.

If by selective you mean anything they consider a threat to them or their owner, then yes. Trouble is they think any noise or person walking past the house is as threat.

So a specific alarm directed only at the intruder. Who isn't an intruder as the pavement outside the house ain't the dog's property.

They make a noise. I can tell the difference between a foreigner saying two different words, but a dog just goes woof or whine.

Really? Like in America?

Of course you can, blast the metal box.

They have sights.

I do, but I know of nobody else with it. It's not hot enough to warrant it.
