I never get involved in stuff like that. My brother in law is in an ongoing battle with his next door neighbour over parking outside the gate, if either of them are a millimetre over each others gate they're knocking in asking for the car to be moved. He has a driveway that he could easily leave the car in, I said to him why don't you just park the car in your driveway and his response was "no, that means they win." Don't get that mentality at all.
Yes Bobby, love that. Id probably aim towards late summer now at the stage. Though I had a win today, the Christmas lights still on the gutter was to take them down tommorrow after fobbing herself off for 7 weekends running. Window cleaner doing the window shouts in and asks if I wanted them taken down. Little tip for the window man, she's none the wiser so credit in the bank. Good start to the weekend.
Either do I Willie but if I cut them tomorrow I'll look like his bitch. We're not mates but I don't have any issues with him, the aesthetics here would not be good and we can't have that.
Call me sexist,but that he said it to your missus in an "opportune" moment what would have annoyed me the most. Come and knock on the door,just explain politely that your light is being blocked and it would be done by the next day.
You could always go for the blind him with brilliance (aka baffle with bullshit) method. Firstly how high are the hedges in question? Youre legally allowed to have your hedges 2m tall. Failing that, stall for 2 more days and then announce that you need to get a special derogation (I had to look it up too) for any hedge maintenance after March 1st. Since that piece of legality has to come from your local authority (stress the possibility of fines), who are probably understaffed during the pandemic, and therefore about as interested in your hedge as Donald Trump is (you dont live next to a Mexican family you are trying to keep out of your garden,right?) - any attempts by you to get this derogation will probably be met with a lack of enthusiasm at the council - but hey - you tried. Flippin governments
Hah - I obviously wasnt clear - the plan IS STILL to do fcuk all. If intercepted by the light challenged neighbour again have the missus feed him that bullshit about derogations, and how you fought the man (in vain) to try ensure the light quality doesnt suffer.
A lot of idiots pushing a pyramid scheme round my way at the minute. Selling rose petals for 150euro to make 1200. Thinking theyve discovered a fool proof way of making 1200 for nothing. Be some realisation for them when they realise theyve left mates and loved ones carrying the slack.
Essential oils. They're great for your skin and wellbeing babbs. I can give you a bottle for only €20.99 if you sell 10 other bottles for me.
No so they each pay 150 euro to become a member of this gold scheme (which is literally nothing, no stock no shares nonitem) You sell it to 8 friends for 150. And when they sell it to 8 friends for 150 you get 1200 and cash out. So basically these gurus are turning 150 into 1200 until they run out of friends to pony up nd the last ones in have essentially paid 150 and can't retrieve there money. Small thread on reddit here. https://amp.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/lv4trt/wtf_is_up_with_half_of_dublin_sharing_that_flower/ Whats irritating me is these going on like they are Warren buffet.
My young lad lives out by IKEA, he just sent me a video of someone getting chased by about 30 Garda cars, apparently she's involved in that rose petal scam. You wouldn't see it on breaking bad.
There is a great documentary on BBC about these kind of schemes and the people they use for them and the images these people portray on Social Media. Scary how some people can believe it and fall for it. There was the Vitamin pills a few years ago, the aftershave seems to be last years one, wonder what this year will be.
People on face time calls sticking their phone in your face to say hello to the person they're on a call with.
Low and behold they've lost there money deleting there posts and are afraid of the gards knocking on there door.
