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

    Where do you hide them? Sounds kinky.

    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.
    Obviously Voodoo.:eek:

    Who did you pi$$ off recently?

    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..

    Hold on , I heard a lot of crap in AH ,but this takes the biscuit... are you trying to tell us one of your neighbours flie,s over your house and regularly drops junk in your garden.

    I went over looked at my back wall and decided against it

    Two hours later after watching tv, decided to call dog in but she refused to come in, she was sitting staring at something on the wall

    We went to see what it was, half an onion had been placed on my back wall

    Wtf ??? Only access is through my garden, someone had to of put it there

    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.

    Or else its some form of hobo code to tell a sad story.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it seems that someone doesn't like you. It's piseogs. Your butter will turn in the churn and those bonham's you're fattening will never make it to market.

    It was probably dropped by a migrating swallow.

    An African swallow or a European swallow?

    African swallows are non-migratory
