Actually, slicing is rubbish - the victim/target can often have enough air in the lungs to yell in alarm. The right way is a firm thrust through the side of the neck and twist the blade hard.
This has the multiple advantages of creating a large hole, destroying both the airway and rapidly filling the lungs with blood and stopping any unpleasant noise.
This was a public service announcement 🙂

No, not a troll, just busy. Thanks again everyone. It's funny, this is the first thread I've ever started that has caught people's imaginations. Never expected such a lot of response. All was quiet last night, and the spaces were unused, so it looks like the previous, slightly fraught conversations may have done the trick. We'll see.
Edit: On reflection, no, it isn't funny. My previous threads have been pretty dull.
You hit the STW sweet spot! Allowing the passive aggressive's to competitively vent their righteous middle class fury, booming disapproval, and knowledge of arcane by-laws!
It's like they've rolled over and your tickling their tummies 😀
STW Nirvana 😆

And with the correction of a grammatical error the mythical perfect thread is attained! 😉
Is there the tiniest chance that this somehow results from the wider availability of former council housing, and is therefore Thatcher's fault ?

I think we can haul it back to enclosure and the royal family robbing all the land of the common man (with nice bike and house and 3 cars)
Fab thread, well done bol, cat amongst pigeons. 🙂
Likewise havent read all the pages but the first step is clearly going to talk to the offending neighbours, go in softly and politely, tell them its your land and you dont want to fall out with them, be nice....
... THEN
if they continue or are ar$y about it when you talk to them, simply do what others have said and put parking bollards up as suggested.
Two level approach...
clearly the next level after this is nuclear warheads activated when they park there ! 😉
And with the correction of a grammatical error the mythical perfect thread is attained!
Nope, we've had no mention of religion and race, nor nuclear power, and despite it essentially being a car-related thread, we've not yet got on to "why do you need a car" / "speeding is worse than raping someone's sister" / top gear whinging etc.
And the fact that neither the OP nor his neighbours have been referred to as being Nazis.
Well the OP has "annexed" their parking spaces, so he "could" be a Nazi....
What if Hitler, God and Jeremy Clarkson all rolled up at 37mph and parked in your space in a massive 4x4 while running over a cyclist on the 5:2 fad diet (with Racing Ralphs on a 6inch travel DH bike with poorly aligned valves and logos) and then tweeting about it.
Would you be so amazed you'd let it pass or would you be so incensed that you'd explode and punch a child in the face?
Have you considered a Skoda Octavia vRS?
Thread complete.
Dogs at trail centres?
And do you have a pet cat?
And do you have a pet cat?
And some Sudocrem?
Sure, but we still have to debate what tyres etc. Also what size wheels...
Have the neighbours resorted to the Edinburgh defence yet?
Remember to put a helmet on (or not) when you talk to them but don't bother if the conversation happens at above 30mph as the effect would be minimal.
What a lot of do-gooding **** being spouted!
You no doubt bought the house for a number of reasons, and the parking was a feature of the house. It's something that contributes to the value of the property and therefore contributes to the price that you had to fork out to buy it.
The land is yours, and if you want to occasionally park on it, and leave it empty for the rest of the time then you should be able to do so without hindrance.
I'm not advocating falling out with your neighbours, but if they take offence and get arsey to you nicely asking them not to park on your land, then they're probably not the sort of people who you want to be friends/neighbourly with anyway.
Any chance we could get a picture of the lawn, shrubbery and any outdoor furniture? Thread seems incomplete without a general garden critique.

This is pretty much all that needs to be said.

But is it?
