How in the fluff

do I stop a closed door from banging and rattling for Ireland?!? Anyone got any useful suggestions for me...... I want to leave the window open like. The door is shut closed tight, but it's still banging and rattling away. It's annoying my head now. I tried taking the key out to see would that stop the rattling but it didn't.

Actually I wonder if I lock the door would that do anything, I wonder would it lock up the door more tightly and prevent the bloody thing from banging....

Close it with something like a sock in the jamb?

You can buy rolls of draught excluding tape when at the shops next.

Stuff it with fluff

I have two suggestions: remove the door or else slot a bit of cardboard (or even something folded like a few pages out of a newspaper) in between the frame and the door as you close it.
Personally I'd just remove the doors and walls but the paper trick might work.

Put a cushion, shoe, cat against it. Put chewing gum on it. Wedge paper in it. Put a tea bag in it. Open it..

...in fact, I think they only way to allow it to remain rattling is to piss about on the internet for a while.

There are little door silencers you can get. We sticker things that cushion the door when it closes. Like these ones....

Tell Denis O'Brien the door was talking about him.

I wonder how some people survived before boards existed

Burn the house down. That'll sort it.

Drill a large hole right in the middle of it, this will allow the wind to flow through the hole and circulate around the house without making the door bang

Just torch the place, life's too short. Take photos of it engulfed in flame. Then when you move into your next place, stroll around on the first day shuffling through the photos saying things like "my, my... if only those doors hadn't banged so much when shut, maybe they wouldn't be big piles of forgotten ashes now..." within earshot of the new houses doors.

Doors are notorious cvnts, but they scare easy, you've got to let them know who's boss right from the outset.
