What really gets my goat is idiots who do not follow petrol station etiquette. If you are approaching a petrol station and it is on your left then you can use the entrance closest to you. If you are approaching a petrol station and it is on your right you have to use the entrance further away from you turning right across the on coming traffic. This is an unwritten law but it works. If you do this you should hand over your license you tool.

They say something like, 'I know you're busy, so I just want to leave you this to read and we can come back to discuss it at a time convenient for you." Then proceed to give you a copy of "Watchtower" (or whatever their magazine is called).

Oh, and I agree with Simplex... all walk up "soliciting" should be banned.

Yep and they know you by name, I had 2 gangs of them knocking our door at various points then dropping the leaflet through the door if I didn't answer which goes straight to the recycle bin.

What's the point?

A while ago I got woken up after a night shift by a continual banging on the front door. Dressing gown thrown on I stomped down the stairs and seeing two Jehovas stood outside through the glass in the door was about to give them both barrels. I swung the door open and one said ' Sorry to bother you....but you've left your keys in door, we thought we should let you know. Me looking at the keys just mumbled 'err...thank you' and they just smiled and walked off. Now I'm indebted to the Jehovas and getting worried I may have sold my soul to them ☹

Yup, watched that game, both teams were shite and I hate Man U even more for letting the weeds get away with it. How Man U have won so many games I will never know.

Bear with me here...

When at a resort hotel, there are "gangs" of women on a "girls" get away. I assume some are married, some are divorced or even widowed, but a gang they are.

I guess as young men we did this to Spain or the like, but these are older (40+) and you see them everywhere (cruises apparently are the most popular).

I guess men do golf or sea fishing weekends when they get older, but 4 to 6 40 year old plus guys at a resort would seem weird, no?

And no, I would not touch them with a 10 foot pole...

Take a pair of scissors or shears and snip the bindweed vine off at ground level. Watch the location carefully and cut the vine back again when it appears. This method forces the bindweed plant to use up its energy reservoirs in its roots, which will eventually kill it.

I spent months getting rid of it when we first bought our house, the garden was infested. I used to unwind it from the plants it was climbing and wind it into a clump ensuring you bruise the leaves. Stick the clump in one of those plastic fruit/veg bags that supermarkets provide and squirt in a little glysulphate weedkiller (Round up or similar). Tie the bag up to make sure the weedkiller doesn't drip anywhere, then leave it for a week. It works a treat.
I don't like using weedkiller but the advantage is it will kill the rhyzomes even though they maybe in your neighbour's garden. The only other alternative is to carefully dig them out of the ground, but even if a tiny part is left it will regrow.

Thanks for the info,i spent a long time sifting the top soil last year and as far as I was concerned it was gone from my smallish garden.This week it is popping up everywhere,it's a bastard because in 2 weeks I had intended to lay the new lawn.Will have to put that on hold till this is dealt with again and hopefully the wanker next door will sort his side out(not going to hold me breath on that)
Failing him dealing with his side then i'm pretty much fecked:wallbash:

I've got a neighbour who's garden has gone to pot and he obviously doesn't care. My mum, who loves her gardening has the same. It's very frustrating, but ultimately nothing you can do about it.

It's a nightmare. We had a new tarmac drive. Professionally spayed before laying. I wasn't happy so got him back a second time for another nuke withan even stronger mix. Next year "mole hills" appeared with the bastard stuff breaking through. I now go on a daily check to spot the little shits and put raw weed killer on. One advantage on the new tarmac is when it gets really really hot I can hammer it back down again.

Great tip "must spread rep etc"

I didn't know it could grow through tarmac [emoji44], I thought only Japanese Knotweed could do that.

Well this stuff does! Its in some of the flower beds as well, but its a smaller version in both the leaves and flowers than the stuff I have come across before. I'll take a pic next time some appears. I've been slowly fighting and, fingers crossed, so far winning.

Although it is annoying when oldies occupy the middle of the pavement, and then tutt when others back up behind them and try to pass.

I’m sometimes tempted to ask why they don’t walk to one side, and then others can pass and they won’t feel under pressure to speed up. I imagine their motorway driving style is also a middle lane hog.

If they take little notice of their garden, could you discreetly attack the stuff at your boundary before it makes its way into your garden?

For example, weed it as it comes over/through your boundary fence, or even slightly into their garden if you can reach over? It’s a pain, particularly as some people think the flowers are pretty so don’t realise they need to control it.

Your neighbours penis of a brother must live opposite me although this one owns some shit, old sports car which, when its a nice day for a drive with the top down, he sits in it for 10/15 mins warming the engine up.

When l can, l take great delight in parking my van by the entrance to his drive. It pisses him off immensely and when l drive off he gets in his other car, moves it off his drive and parks so l cant return to the same spot. Extremely childish l know but this routine is normally during the close season as l have very little else to entertain me.

This is knotweed, vile stuff as you probably know. I saw some nearby to where I live. The council have sprayed it every year and it's still coming back.

Have a mate who clears the side of railway tracks,apparently he can get hold of some stuff you need a licence to use.If it wasn't for Albert(me dog)I would be over his garden at night and spray the stuff everywhere;)
