[Misc] Luzzing stuff back over your garden fence.

I had a situation a few years ago where the kids at the school my house backs on to thought it was HILARIOUS to kick footballs at my conservatory while my wife was at home with the baby.

Unfortunately my "dog" got to all of the balls before they went back over the fence and they were completely unusable from that point on.

Have you got a hypothetical dog?

Be careful ,the old dear who lived next door to me when i was a kid was a right old bat . Kept every ball that went into her garden .So one day we attached some thread around a Rugby ball and made out we were going into her garden to get it back . Out she came and as she made a grab for it ,it disappeared from her grasp and over she tumbled. Now i got punished for it and 40 years later i know it was wrong but:lolol::lolol::lolol: We still talk about it now.

Can't you "come to some arrangement" with the lad's mum?

She would be well within her rights to point out the old tosspot wasn't even worthy enough to dream about her!

'A friend' had a similar situation with some old neighbours, who supported Arsenal. Somehow a Tottenham ball ended being thrown back in his garden. Never had any problems after that.

Whatever else you do, the basketball hoop needs to be removed from your property. They can’t do that.

I wish I could attach something to my neighbour’s new extension to hide the appalling brickwork, but know the only answer is to build an extension of my own (or a fairly pointless an probably equally ugly tall fence)!

Let's say you lived next door to a very nice family.

Perhaps, hypothetically speaking, you happen to be a miserable tosspot who believes just because you are good neighbours that doesn't mean you have to be good friends, but nevertheless everything is very cordial.

But what if, in that mix there's a 'lively' 8 (or so) year old lad who's a bit of a screamer, and said child accuracy skills give the impression he's an Albion striker in the making.

To finish the obviously very hypothetical conundrum, with clearly no basis in real life, say oh I don't know, the miserabilist house extends past theirs.
That wall may be the perfect place to attach basketball hoop, so every twwwang of missed hoop resonates around the back of this random make-believe home, along with the associated scream.


Under those completely fictional circumstances, how long should one wait before returning:-

1 basketball.
2 other balls
1 sponge dart, now clogging up the gutter.
3 frisbees.
&
1 arrow

That have all arrived since Sunday's clear down of the garden.

You know, I’m really not surprised to learn you’d be the type who wouldn’t throw the ball back to a kid.

We get on really well with our neighbours, I actually play catch with various sized ball regularly with their 7 year old over the fence, he has a cracking right foot as well problem is it not unknown for the football to go over the neighbour fence on the other side. I pleased to say he is a bhafc fan now as well. So to the thread starter - join in you might enjoy it.

It's not me, obviously, it's purely hypothetical.

On luzzing things over fences:
I was over digging out for an extension and had brimmed a skip full of soil one evening and returned the next morning to find a tatty sofa perched atop the pile. A real pisser as both making it unlikely the waste company would pick it up and the extra expense of being charged as a mixed load if they did. As I shook my head in disappointment I realized I recognized the sofa. I climbed up to the roof where I sometimes took a break and sure enough in the most ill kempt garden visible there was no longer a sofa.
Accosted a friendly chap back in the road and explained the situation. He politely decline my offer of remuneration and we walked the offending 3 seater round the corner and luzzed it over the fence.
Wish I'd been able to stay until they got home.

The hypothetical grumpy **** should observe the first rule of luzzing and start grabbing white garden furniture and luzzing that in the opposite direction. They could then have a bargaining session to return balls for chairs and said parents of 8 year old will not allow them to lose anymore balls.
Falling that go round and give them all a good kicking.

Our next door neighbours are slightly crackers. The bloke has a very short fuse and thinks he has the right to tell the whole road where they should park. The woman has more faces than Big Ben.

However, they’ve managed to produce two really nice, fun loving kids. The older daughter is supposedly good at sport but definitely possesses Maupay radar. When her ball comes over, as it does frequently, I throw it back or she comes and asks for it.

Not only does it keep a young child happy and active but it also buys us credit for the days when we’ve parked in “his space”.

It also stops any likelihood of us appearing on Channel 5, looking sadly into the camera and moaning about losing the best years of our lives to non stop conflict.

Your miserable “friend” should throw them back (although I do agree that basketball is shit).

The hypothetical grumpy tosspot has no problem with the luzzing back in this scenario, after all he's been doing it daily for a couple of years, it's the basketball factor.

The way I read the situation, returning that ball is akin to giving a child back their recorder.


(Plus how much bloody stuff comes over in 2 days while he's at school for most of them, and it's been raining)
