    It took me a minute to 'get' that....I thought that was 3 options you had listed and I was wondering why WW would want to buy 500 cockerels instead of a house. :confused: Then I realised it was an 'and' type situation. :rotfl:

    I'm not thick....honest. :o I'm reading this thread in the morning after not having slept well all night so I'm very tired and I just skimmed over the posts. :rotfl:
    Purchasing 500 cockerels is a single complete option in its own right. It's called 'retail therapy'. In fact all the options are standalone variants on 'retail therapy'

    I have read this thread through from beginning to end and feel there is only one course of action left open to you now:

    1) Buy the neighbours house
    2) Buy some Industrial Earplugs
    3) Purchase 500 Cockerels

    :D

    Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.

    This post made me laugh because when I worked at an EA we had a potential buyer whose sole criteria was "no near neighbours" because she kept parrots. It happens :D

    That's good as going on holiday for a week. Won't be tempted to go on the net to see what's happened!

    Having read this from page 1 to page 35 in one go! God it makes me so angry!

    WW, go and hammer them for whatever they are worth, and make them pay for the rest of their lives if you can! Who cares about the lost they had caused you? To be totally honest, no one. People can "feel sorry" for you that is about it. It is up to yourself to get it back, all of it! Since no one actually care about you, you shouldn't care about the sellers' family, children, dog and mother. (unless of course someone offered to pay for ALL your lost on the sellers' behalf) Get even!

    P.S. If it was up to me, I would even suggest to them selling their children's kidneys to fund their dream house! ;)

    I had actually said something like that to someone, in the face, without a wink for ripping me off. And when that person threw the first punch, in front of many witness, he is guilty of assault. Make things even worse for his children. Of course I pressed charges to make sure they suffer when he is locked up. :D

    That is getting even. No one cared about me when he ripped me off, so why should I care about his children when he was locked up?
