     A device that kicks dog owners up the ar**hole when they have no control over their dogs, letting them run anywhere and everywhere, or when they hang those bags on trees or dump them on the ground.  >:)

    A machine that automatically turned off ALL mobiles as the owners walked past my window so I would not have to watch annoying people talking to them selves with wires dangling from their ears.

    I always did wonder why concerts, theatres, cinemas, opera houses etc don't have mobile signal blockers, so that performances don't get interupted. It would be a big selling point for me. Also buses and trains. Have one room in a theatre or one carriage where people can get reception if they really need it - or just wait until you get outside.

    NDN extermination could probably be traceable. You need to be more inventive @punkdoc
    Permanent squits  - teeth falling out. - allergy to electricity - embarrassing unhideable tatoo or protuberance. Think of the fun you could have sniggering at your revenge served cold.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Are any of your colleagues rather bad plastic surgeons?

    It must be about 20 years ago, I was travelling back from London in the 'quiet carriage' but one woman insisted on having extended, loud conversations on her phone.  A gentleman who was dressed in what appeared to be courtroom clothes (wing collar etc) politely pointed out to her that this was a quiet carriage and asked her to stop using her phone.  A few minutes later she started up again, so he asked her again to desist.  She started up again and he walked up to her and said something along the lines of "Madam, I have asked you politely but you don't seem to understand, so I will repeat myself in plain English.  (Voice raised to a full bellow) - Switch that f*****g phone off or I will stuff it somewhere the sun doesn't shine".  She obeyed, and it stayed off.  The laughter and applause from the rest of the carriage may have had an effect too.

    Why don't they sell Nemasys vine weevil killer in, say, a 30m2 pack size? It's a big jump from the standard pack size of 12m2 to the next one up, 100m2...

  • @Loxley I’ve just been thinking the same thing whilst looking at Nemasys online  :)
