    I'd rather listen to power tools than the constant, every single day of the year of my neighbour's runty little puff ball barking all day when they're out at work

    Have you tried blowing really hard on a dog whistle every time it barks? At least you'd know you were annoying it too. It might even work.

    It's too far away to hear it I'm sure, but can sure it.

    They have extremely good hearing. If you can hear it, it can certainly hear you.

    Great idea @B3 I'm on Amazon as we speak, I'll get my own back on the two noisy bu**ers that live behind me.

    No tennis here either,  why do they need so much in prize money. 

    And why do women get paid the same as men in major tournaments when the men play 5 set matches and the women only 3 sets?  It's the equivalent of men working 5 day weeks and women 3, for the same pay.  It simply doesn't make sense.  Women's matches are often far more one sided than men's matches too.

    I think different whistles have different sounds. Maybe there's one with multiple tones so you can see if any of them work.

    Hard to be grumpy about this but I just came downstairs after putting the kids to bed and there was a hedgehog in the middle of the lawn. We get them now and then in the front garden but I thought my back garden was inaccessible to them because of neighbours going a bit crazy with the landscaping. It's obviously found a way in somehow though. I sneaked out the door on the other side of the house and stood by the greenhouse watching it snuffle around the veg beds then it casually walked right up to my feet without even flinching. So why grumpy? My brand new field guide to slugs turned up in the post today and now it looks more like an illustrated menu. I hope the hedgehog doesn't eat anything rare and interesting :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    They prefer worms, they’ll only eat slugs if desperate,  you may be lucky and find one or two.
    If you don’t you can come and look in our garden, millions of them despite every creature who is supposed to eat them.
