    I have a reputation for hiding onions in boardsies bedrooms :o I can safely say I had nothing to do with this.

    I would guess someone was climbing over the wall and it came off their belt.

    There was a single crinkle cut chip in my back garden the other day. I found a lump of coal another day and a slice of bread once, plus all sorts of other random stuff. The only access to the garden is through the house, so either there are a lot of birds in the area who can't carry as much as they thought they could or one of my neighbours is trying to mess with my head.

    You know how that old saying goes OP?

    It was probably dropped by a migrating swallow.

    A friend of mine some years ago was constantly whinging about missing socks and wooden clothes pegs from his washing line. Only the wooden ones, which was weird. He presumed it was the neighbourhood kids 'aving a larf. Last Summer he went to clear some trees from the end of his garden and found a load of crows nests in the tree made from....

    Yep. True story. Wouldn't put anything past those pesky corvids.

    Onions take the smell from the paint.

    Maybe you are haunted and the ghost dosent like the smell of paint.

    **top tip**

    Cut the onion in half and put it into a bowl of water first and no tears.

    A cut onion is an old trick for getting rid of the smell of fresh paint. I've never heard of it being used outdoors though.

    Correct.

    This. I expect your neighbor was sitting in garden, oppressed by the paint smell, and put an onion on wall in hope to absorb it.

    Its your neighbours way of bringing summat for bbq.. Invite me . Ahem .. Him now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭JonSnuuu


    One trick is to tell em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..

    What did the spiders do to that you destroyed their homes? Maybe leaving onion bits around is their revenge!

    That terror is also happening in my garden..

    Only yesterday I found a squashed strawberry with boot prints on it, was it pre squashed outside my garden and chucked over the wall?

    Or was it some twisted person with a boot and strawberry fetish staging their ultimate fantasy on my lawn while I was at work?

    The odd chip has appeared, never crinkle cut though. You must live in a posh area.

    Not kidding here but you have a Wiccan for a neighbour. In witchcraft a cut onion absorbs bad vides/evil/ negative energy yadda yadda. Either a wiccan neighbour thinks you are bad news or thinks you are having a hard time!

    It's not kinky. I hide them in the bed, under clothes, in drawers. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh..

    Might be a bit of a long shot here, but this isn't in Artane, by any chance?

    This could possibly be the culprit, http://watermarked.impactphotos.com/1270129.jpg.

    An African swallow or a European swallow?
