Lawnmowers should be banned

lostexpectation

So go out to my back step to sit and read the newspaper in the sun and as all day I greeted with gorgeous sun ruined by the the noise of my next door neighbour lawnmower.

Who invented these machines who invented lawns ? you want to sit outside in some peace and and quiet and the warm glow of the sun instead you get


rrrrHHHHHHHHHHHHHrrrrrr rRrRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHRRRRRrrrrrrrr EERRRRRRrrrrrrrr
HHHHHhHRRRRrrrrrrr EHHhrrrr rRRRReeee

argh!

has nobody invented a actually quiet lawnmower and i mean no more then a hum even the old push ones were damn noisey.

My old neighbour (gone thankfully) used to have the oldest, rusty, crappy pushmower ever. God, if they hadn't moved I think I would've been eventually motivated to purchase them a new one. I can still hear that grinding, shreiking metal beast. Hangover hell.

Stop moaning. It's either that or the entire area will look horrible overgrown.

But, if you really want to stop it, buy them a cow.

Heisenberg.

I like the sound of lawnmowers and the smell afterwards.

It has been an absolutely beautiful day, stop moaning about nothing.
Perhaps next time you go out to cut the grass, you'll be interrupting someone elses peace and quiet.

I'm just going to cut my grass now, hopefully I'll get the people just home from work who are sitting out trying to enjoy the last of the days sunshine...


Also the only quiet lawnmowers would be those oldschool unmotorised ones that work through push power... you can really work up a sweat using those bad boys.

just throw a load of petrol on the lawn and light a match, hey presto, no more annoying lawnmowers to worry about

Nothing like fresh cut grass. I have to go out and buy a lawnmower later as hadn't gotten around to do it when moving in in December. Things looking a bit wild outside.

Or get a sheep.

that's just eliminating one sound and adding another, and besides the lepruchaun on my shoulder is insiting I burn the grass

looksee

I love the smell of newly cut grass, and even lawnmowers provided they are several houses away doesn't bother me, I like the sound of those old push ones,very peaceful and summery. What I don't like is someone insisting I share their taste in music, though thankfully it doesn't happen very often.

This is ridiculous. Grass has to be cut, I'd prefer if it didn't but until they engineer a type of grass that only grows to five centimetres high, it's something we have to deal with.

It would be a lot cooler if you got loads of salt and spelt your name on the lawn.

Seconded! I absolutely HATE it when the neighbours decide they should take the speakers out onto the windowsill and blast rubbish for hours on end!! :mad:

I used to enjoy mowing the lawn when I had one.

kelle

I think the sound of a lawnmower is so relaxing.

Redisle

I bet youd really hate my lawnmower so, 100db
Lucky you I don't live near you lol

Pour a six-pack of Dutch Gold over the lawn. Then the grass will be half-cut

Dave!

Why do people always find something to moan about...........

lostexpectation

feckin suburbia, they're noisey creations

Peter Collins

when I used to live at home, 8 bells saturday morning, arseholes out mowing the grass....the same cnuts who'd complain if you had music on in the backgarden at 4 in the afternoon

**** all of them

crosstownk

OP - You should come live next door to me. Petrol hedge trimmer for about 20 mins, followed by a petrol strimmer and finally the petrol mower. It takes about 2 hours in total. But as I only do gardening at the weekends and respect that neighbours may be hungover, I never pull a ripcord before 11am.

Binomate

Get your razor blade out. Shave the grass.

Wahey!!!

Like somebody said before i like the sound of lawnmower. I like the smell of freshly cut grass. It smells and sounds of summer. Can you pciture it, Yer man there in his kakke shorts and white socks pulled up with sandals and a floral short sleeve shirt with the shades stickin out of the top pocket cutting away and havin a great laugh.

dr.bollocko

Thats mother****ing right!
Ban all *ahem*lawnmowers and *ahem*lawnmower enablers!
Picket the gardeners, the shops, the garden-centres.
Stop them at their source.
Make GRASS LEGAL!
Off with the legs of anyone preventing the free availability of grass in Ireland.
Ban them all, the evil plant killing things.
Then finally I can get some of this grass grown.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is Free the Weed!!!
(you know, only if your lawn contains weeds. I'm not trying to pervert the tone of this thread to try and get some sort of subversive message across or anything. What do you think I am? Crazy? A hippie? Some sort of baby eating hippie. Thats what you think?
Isnt it?
ISNT IT?)

This.

Every scientist in the land should now work on this by presidential decree.

Yep, what I wanted to say.

Actually, when we first moved in we were more interested in doing up the house than worrying about the garden. Woke up one sunday morning (9am) to the sound of our elderly nextdoor neighbour cutting our grass! Thanked him nicely, suggested we take over but he insisted he do it all then or our clover and stuff would head over into his paradise. By the third time this happened we thought we'd better buy a lawnmower!

timmywex

its impossible to have a lawnmower going and trying to study

You think lawnmowers are bad? Try sitting out in the sunshine and having your 8 year old neighbour blare the "Crazy Frog" album while jumping on a trampoline with her annoying loud friend. 2 loud children + old squeeky trampoline + music from the pits of hell = worse than a lawnmower.

Wonderful.

It would be much better if we just concreted over everything... While we are at it we should cut down all the trees as the leaves in autumn and the blossom in the spring are really annoying too, not to mention when there is a storm and a branch from a tree knocks out the power for a while...

DO0GLE

Bloody lawnmowers....you'd think people would be more considerate and use a scissors:D

Yep Scythes are a great way to shut up noisy youngins. Use it all the time.

Personally I don't mind the sound of lawnmowers, i'd rather an hour of lawnmower noise, 2 or 3 hours of the sweet smell of freshly cut grass and then having a neat lawn, then walking barefoot around uncut grass and having nettles sting the soles of your feet.

cournioni

Don't like it? Move to the countryside.

nobodythere

How did people cut grass before lawnmowers?

I guess the cows ate it.
