House-clearing music?

[Beef Oven!]

I liked Mr Blobby as well. Used to make me chuckle!

I can safely say without fear of contradiction, that I have never knowingly watched any Noel Edmonds TV programmes.

(Ok, I had a little peek at 'Deal Or No Deal' a few months ago, and after 10 minutes I switched off because I didn't understand the rules).

I think the rules are
(and I only saw about 5 minutes)
Think of a number
See if someone else has the same one in a box
pretend that somehow you can work out what it is ............... it's a chav version of the cat in a box ?

But what about the mysterious bank cleaner (Initial Services?) that they ring at all hours?

I think that's a shaggy dog story .................. and not real (but given your smoked fish tendencies no i'll stop there)

too obvious I suppose

Back iin the day They (or somebody similar) actually turned up with some "Buffing Equipment" at about 3 in the morning at my student house.

Of course in those days students were sleeping it off at that time of night, whereas now they are just at the end of the "Pre lash" phase.....sad times...

A much beloved uncle, a physicist by profession, a pianist by choice, used simply to say to my aunt, let's go to bed and let these nice people go home.

oddly enough, our old family variant "Let's take these nice people to bed, or perhaps they'd prefer to go home", not only got rid of unwanted visitors but also proved an effective deterrent to repeat visits.

You can change that to:
"Those of a certain age may well recall it with affection."
I like Mr Blobby and I'm sure my friends do. So it wouldn't work.

I like Willie Rushton's suggestion for getting rid of guests who wont go home. You disappear upstairs and reappear with an armful of bedclothes which you dump in the middle of the floor. You then walk round the room picking up the cushions one by one, sniffing them and muttering "bloody cat".

I thought this thread was going to be about music(*) but as it clearly isn't...

...at uni a friend once resorted to an even more direct method to clear me and another friend from his room: he simply started getting undressed And I don't think it was any later than 3am...

Still, he was a horn-player, which may or may not be an excuse (with apologies to all on this board of similar musical disposition)

(*) PS Looking back at my OP I should perhaps explain that the question mark that I put after 'music' was intended merely to give an opening to acoustical phenomena that posters wouldn't normally include under this classification: e.g. Scottish bagpipes for many (though not myself)...
