    Surely if one was disposing of a body one would follow Bricktops advice? Besides, they would be able to smell BarBQ, oh silly me, you giant lizards dont understand smell do you.

    Give the Vice Squad a call. Sounds like he's got one helluva lot of 70s porn to burn.

Threaded’s mate might have a valid case, assuming he lives in the present day and not back in the choking smog of the 1950’s (you can never be to sure with Threaded).
    Ah, sounds like Mrs Lucifer might have been given the old local council fob off. Basically the guy has a bonfire going all day, from dawn to dusk, every single day. The council said there was nothing they could do about it, although they agreed to send the guy a leaflet on how to be a good neighbour. Possibly a written complaint from several like-minded neighbours might acheive more.

    I've said it before, but can you introduce a way of hiding the smilies on the right when composing a post? On the old board it was possible to do that. On the new board, every time a new post is being written a full compliment of dancing, multi-coloured smilies appears to the world.

    They said they would send the bloke a leaflet on "Being a Good Neighbour". Ra-ra.
