No, the garage is at the end of the garden seperate from the house. There is access to it from a communal lane at the rear, hence any theiving scrotes have fairly easy access. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and informed them that a copper lives just down the lane , they asked where ? With that my neighbour came out and asked me who they were , they clocked him and f*cked off down the lane (he's a 6'2'' 21 stone guy from Greneda) . I will be sleeping in my garage tonight as instinct tells me that these are part of the same gang that stole five bikes and tools from my place of work last year. If they do return and try to take my bikes I will be sleeping with my Royal Naval divers issue knife to protect myself and my property I've been toying with the idea of getting a paintball marker and keeping by my bed for such occasions they will incapacitate them if you get them in the face or crown jewels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurrah They'll probably leave it a while cos they were spotted.......but at some point the odds are that they'll be back. Things must be bad there if you need to sleep in your garage to protect your possessions. In your position I'd get myself a couple of Rotties.......they seem to deter people for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden under a engine mounting, can't get to it with a socket & extension, can get a spanner on it, but no room to move the spanner to undo the bolt. If its a leecy start and working fine it won't be the engine earth, more likely that chassis earth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attitudes towards animals has improved a lot since I've been here, mainly due to younger people having a different mentality to their parents. But there's still a long way to go! Until bullfighting is outlawed everywhere they're not going to properly re-educate people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until bullfighting is outlawed everywhere they're not going to properly re-educate people. Completely agree with all of that. I understand that now the majority of the population doesn’t support bullfighting anymore but it’s entrenched within certain groups and they wouldn’t have got the bill through without excluding bulls. When the older gen’s shuffle off they’ll have another go for sure. I’m sad they excluded dolphins, I went to a water park near Malaga about 20 years ago, never again, it was awful. You wouldn’t think you could tell if a dolphin was depressed but the one I saw lolloping on the water edge of a tiny tiny pool was in a miserable state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m grounded too mate but not because it’s too hot ………… so I’m being a thoroughly modern man and making some garlic naan bread to go with a chicken curry.
