What is this device?

[Commander Kinsey]

What's your best tip to get revenge on someone using a wood burning stove? I could aim my jetwash into the chimney and flood the living room....

How were you supposed to know the jetwash fluid was flammable? ;-(

Cheers, T i m

No, he doesn't, he just can't accept I might not.

Excellent. ;-)

And if something of yours had got broken, you might be advised to claim off *your* insurance? Not everyone get's the 'sorry, my fault, let me sort that out for you' ethic.

Like when you see your neighbours cat regularly jumping on and off your car a scratching it ...

Cheers, T i m

Not on speaking terms.

[Commander Kinsey]

Would you have a good relationship with a neighbour who has parties at 3am with his drunken wife cackling loud enough to go through your closed double glazing? Or a jacuzzi that runs 24/7 with a busted motor making it sound like a diesel engine?

[Commander Kinsey]

Considering the number of balls that come over the fence, it won't be long before it's broken off then.

[Commander Kinsey]

I can't see anything on the house. Maybe it just picks up the house's main wifi? And being larger or more powerful than the laptop aerial, it can do so.

[Commander Kinsey]

Can't you just walk up the roof? In fact that's a good way of peeking into neighbours' gardens while pretending you're fixing tiles.

[Commander Kinsey]

Excellent idea. Do you want credit for it in the police report?

[Commander Kinsey]

When a car crashes into mine, their insurance pays, not mine! And I doubt garden ornaments are covered.

That is the cat's fault, and they can't pay.

[Commander Kinsey]

ROFL!

I don't get why anyone has them. There's a mains gas supply here. So much more controllable than lighting a bloody fire. It's not as if they're cheaper, unless they're burning scrap wood contianing paint and varnish, which I think he is judging by the smell. It's forbidden. Once the council catch him in the act (they've told me to call them next time it's lit), the device will be removed.

As an aerial installer for 50 years I am considering a book.

[Commander Kinsey]

Ever seen any nude sunbathers? Ever caused them to scream?

[Commander Kinsey]

Not possible in most of the overcrowded UK. Does that include your gardens? Technically our houses were (before we both extended) 20 metres away. Although as the jacuzzi and party came up to the fence, that would be 10 metres.

[T i m]

It wasn't an idea, it was an observation.

Yes, that I warned you that it might be flammable (if it turns out to be etc).

Cheers, T i m

Who was talking about cars?

Ours are.

It's not, the owner has a 'duty of care' to ensure their cat doesn't cause damage to other peoples property and they can be held responsible for it.

I don't think whatever "jetwash fluid" is could be flammable as it's mixed with water. My jetwash connects to the mains water supply via a hoselock connector, and sprays just water at high pressure. There is no fluid. I suppose I could feed it with petrol, but if the stove is running, the flame would very quickly come back and blow up the jetwash sat next to me.

[Commander Kinsey]

It's the same with everything, the person at faults pays up. If my tree fell down and went through my neighbour's window, she shouldn't expect her insurance to pay, and raise her premium. The money should come from me or my insurance.

I don't have enough to bother with that.

Bullshit, you cannot control a cat, by their very nature they roam freely. What you said only legally applies to dogs.

[Roger Hayter]

Sadly that is generally not so. If it were a dog or a cow they might.

[Jake56]

Not necessarily with acts of nature with big storms unless you have been negligent.

Legally that is just plain wrong.
