    Ask for more, that should do it.

    Why would you not want junkmail?

    Free fuel for lighting the fire

    Your junk has gone down since you've "done it" ?

    Builders a crying out for work now, see if you can get a decent quote on installling a trapdoor / crododile pit outside your front door, make sure the violence level on the dial goes up to 11.

    SF sticker beside No Junk Mail sticker for the win.

    I thought he meant his penis, because mine goes down too when I do it.

    Let your postman in on the following joke.
    Stick a notice on your door letterbox "Don't open - pet snake tends to try immediate escape!"

    Worth a try! :D

    Would you not keep the work species-local?

    I put up "No Junk Mail" stickers and most of my junk mail stopped.

    If you get junk mail, ring up the restaurant directly and complain to them.
    Tell them to tell their leaflet distributors to respect the "No Junk Mail" signs.

    Complain directly to the businesses, as they pay for the leaflet distributions.
    If a load of people ring up complaining, they'll soon tell the distributors to respect the no junk mail signs.

    Works for me, apart from the charity robbing "clothes collection" stickers.

    A few bags of rubbish with a few rags on the top will sort them out. Make sure the rubbish don't smell too much that might give it away

    I suppose ye could have a pit full of starving badgers or something, or possibly Catholic Priests (would require victim to be wearing an alter boy outfit to be fully effective though).

    The collection scams are illegal.

    Not the legitimate clothing charities but a lot are scams and they should be given rubbish.

    I meant 'gators, aligator. What, your kind too good for that sort of work? Stuck up 'gators.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    If you have multiple copies from the same place they are clearly taking the mick. Walk to you nearest bottle bank and leave a bag of them there.
    Local litter warden will soon sort them out :p

    Try and find out the name of the company paying them to put crap in through the door.
    Then let it build up, stick it in a huge envelope addressed to the company and don't put any postage on it, they will be liable for the cost.

    I think this problem could be worse than you think!

    I've noticed an increase in junk mail too. We receive two unwanted newspapers every week, loaded with advertisements for services we don'rt want, and as a result an ever-growing pile of junk newspaper on my window sill.

    I googled uses for old newspaper, nothing any good.

    I figured you meant that, but most of us aligators live in the sewers and mutate into 60 foot long types, we don't much socialise unless it's brunch.

    They made a film about that once, think it was called "they ended up having to eat each other".

    Any Young Ones fans here should get that :P

    That's just an urban myth. It's actually crocodiles live down there.

    In fairness, he should know better than us.

    Again, the only way to stop it is to follow the money.

    I bet you the newspapers have an e-mail or phone number to advertise for space in their next issue.
    Contact them and tell them you'll complain to all the companies who pay for full page ads in their paper.. all their biggest clients, unless they respect the no junk mail signs. It works, I've done it.

    I see it as a personal threat to my home security.
    If I'm away for a couple of days, I don't want junk mail building up in my porch.

    You should put up a no non-addressed mail sticker.

    Crocodiles, aligators, they all taste the same to me.
