    Should I be worried? (it landed on the mat as a photocopied piece of paper, not a jpeg).

    Sending a thank you note back to them should suffice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭Corkbah


    are you sure it was a neighbour and not an angel ??

    Burn his house down and tell him that you were giving him a "new start" as God demanded. That'll teach him.

    I'd grab a highlighter and mark any errors in spelling, grammar and logic. Then post it back.

    There'll be plenty in the 'logic' column.

    Reminds me of a guy that used to work with us, used to walk around all day telling us how we need to pray to Jesus and talking about him 24/7. Not sure if you should be worried TBH, some people just feel the need to spread this stuff as much as they can as they don't seem to understand how people don't look at it the same way they do, maybe just politely ask him not to drop any more spam in your letterbox, or ask neighbours if they got the same. If it was just you then maybe you can worry :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    I'd say they seen you naked and are now telling you that god demands answers

    Sounds like potential for great fun.

    Ask them about this god and when and to who (s)he actually said all that.

    Maybe god could drop around to you one day.

    (Don't accept any of his/her "messengers" especially if you have kids).

    I wouldn't trust a man who uses math paper to write essays on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,968 ✭✭✭laoch na mona


    send him a picture of karl marx

    For those of you who didn't bother reading the letter it basically outlined the OP's neighbour's desire to make love to him then ride away into the sunset on a hornless unicorn... He may just mean horse. Actually quite touchine really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    send him a note saying "Thanks for the toilet paper"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,507 ✭✭✭BoardsMember


    No need to worry, though if you were to post it in a public forum that he came across I'd be very worr....oh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭Nemeses


    Who would drop a jpeg through the door?

    I thought email was the way to go!

    Silly Dark ages people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Burn his house down OP, god demands it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,339 ✭✭✭Artful_Badger


    Stick it back in his letterbox with "God not known at this address" written on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭The Narrator


    They have obviously put a lot of work into it, you should be flattered.

    Join their cult, least you can do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,373 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Stick it back in his letterbox with "God not known at this address" written on it.

    Bad idea. OP will be hounded by weekly visits to ask if he's 'found god' yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    So to summerise: Your neighbour hurled a computer monitor through your letterbox which had a burnt-in image of a letter demanding a new box of breakfast cereal for his dog Isaiah.

    Yeah, I would say that is about normal for where you live.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I had a filthy rotten nosy pervert neighbour once, so I wrote him a letter making myself out to be a looper, and he was gone by the month's end

    A looper? You told him you were an hitman from the future!?!

    Highlight random letters on it and write on the back "Message Received" and post it back.

    Thats good, or Arthur Conan Doyle his ass....

    Send him an anonymous note saying "We are discovered, flee immediately" then sit back and enjoy the show.

    Thankfully he didn't drop these through. You could have stood on one!

    There'll be plenty in the 'logic' column.

    3 distinct highlighter colours would work better, with a legend explaining what each colour signifies. E.g. red is spelling, green is grammar and blue is logic.

    I am intentionally using primary colours. You'll see why further down.

    Some phrases may fall under one or more of the three, so you could use the intersecting colours for these to highlight the multiple errors:

    http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.primarycoloursconsulting.co.uk/primarycoloursconsulting-co-uk/_img/Primary_Colours_Consulting_No_Type.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.primarycoloursconsulting.co.uk/what-we-do/the-primary-colours-model/&h=1047&w=1096&sz=201&tbnid=5i_cDomMPG2OwM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=95&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dprimary%2Bcolours%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=primary+colours&usg=__2UXQUncNb0kbv8UmdXVrHgAYAb4=&docid=i4JbzlqoopkpfM&sa=X&ei=JCcJUue1I4aGhQfBnoHoDw&ved=0CEEQ9QEwAw&dur=1109

    You will probably need an alternative for white however.

    Hope this helps.

    Ask him around for a chat and when you answer the door to him have a Gimp mask in your hand and tell him your so glad he called ...should do the trick :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭tatli_lokma


    The very least you can do is send him a tin foil hat as a thank you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    We get them in the door in work! It's an aul fella who sends them, he's not a vagrant but doesn't look to full shilling either....

    Hang a portrait of Marx on your front gate and a couple of crucifixes upside down.

    I live in Portobello, I got the same letter in my mailbox last Friday.

    It's crazy sh!t! I can't throw it out, it's quite funny in a weird way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,180 ✭✭✭hfallada


    OP go and get a copy of playboy and leave a copy of Playboy on his doorstep and write you clearly need some of this

    Ask him does he have a copy in lowercase or sentence case.

    Burn your house down... or his house down. I'm not sure which just burn someone's house down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,373 ✭✭✭✭foggy_lad


    Wrap a very large and warm but not runny turd up in it then tie it to a brick and return to sender.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,229 ✭✭✭✭josip


    Make your phone number hidden and ring the Jehovahs, Mormons, Scientologists, Krishnas, etc and tell them that you'd like to have a chat about beliefs and would they be able to pop around for a chat? Give the nieghbour's address and schedule vists for every 2 hours. He'll either recant or be in nirvana.

    On the ball with Karl Marx being a bankers puppet and the New World Order, seems they can't stop telling us enough lately of the NWO:(

    Print out hundreds of these and stick them all over your house

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,023 ✭✭✭Dostoevsky


    These evangelical Christan nutcases put similar rubbish into my letterbox, although they do print it rather than handwrite it as seems to be the case here.

    They are almost always immigrants from a particular African country who appear to think affinity with a fundamentalist Christian message will get them respect in Ireland and want to attribute their lotto win of residency status in an EU country to divine intervention. Their "saved" bollocks is as patronising as the message of equally certain fundamentalist atheists.

    Nobody knows the answers. Stop pretending to be certain about things you cannot possibly be certain about.


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭Tornaxx


    I have to say, I love the stationery.

    OP, how do you know it was your neighbour? Did you see him put it in the letterbox? And was it a handwritten original, or a photocopy or print-out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    How do you know it was your neighbour OP? I work on Baggot Street and we get copies of this in our letterbox every few weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    That looks like some sort of code to me
