I like to undermine the foundations of the noisy buggers next door so that when I finally move out the rope attached to the towbar of my car will pull their bloody house down!

Where is it you live, Neil?

I found the perfect solution, start with a 3 pound enpty coffee can. Cut the can in half vertically and mount the halfs on either side
of an "E" shaped piece of wood so that the
middle leg of the "E" is sticking up in the middle of the can. Run two wires up either side of the wooden leg and connect to the hot side of any old ignition spark coil. The primary side can be driven by a pulse generator or even an
old lantern battery will work, last ditch
just connect positive and negative to a car
battery and just brush the lead on the terminal.
Turn on a small radio, any band, and hear the effect. It can be directional and will wipe out a large spectrum of broadcasts, and even cause
screaching in overly long speaker wires. This
effect can be even more pronounced if the
coffee can is rusty. It is important not to touch any of the plug side wiring of the can
unless you like to be severely jolted.

is about two miles from Birmingham airport,on the Solihull border.I can see and hear those "thunderous monsters" scream overhead,before they land at the airport.My nearest neighbours are deaf,due to all the loud "music".The noise abaitment act does'nt apply,as "YOU CAN'T HEAR YOURSELF THINK,AT THE BEST OF TIMES!!" :)

Reason: I was booting Linux on Virtual PC in the background, and everything on my computer slowed to a crawl.

Back in the Windows 3x days, there was a perogram that would move any icon away from the mouse cursor. You could still launch the program by double-clicking on the origianl location of the icon -- if you could remember where that was.

There is also one that does the same with the start button on the WIN XP task bar. It's called avoid.exe, and you can find it on various sites dedicated to funny jokes. Note: if you have anti-malware software installed, it will probably get upset by this.
