or something similar >

I live in a flat in a big old house and I'm lucky enough to have two big open fire places 8-)

but..............

the landlords insurance has removed these from their 'cover' list and have stated that there is no insurance from fire if started from fire places above ground level

in the lounge I have put my fish tank in, looks great

in the bedroom I have put candles in and they almost look like a real fire when lit

but my problem is the crows. the big fat hairy noisy ones that cackle way on the chimneys trying to build nests and make hell of a racket, often waking me up in the morning >

cant see the point of paying a chimney sweep to sweep em away cos they'll only come back again :

cant block off the top of the chimney cos

1 : they aint mine
2 : I cant reach
3 : dont do heights

pretty lame excuses but I dont want to spend a great deal of money sorting this out as I only rent. The landlord isnt bothered about the crows as they dont affect him :-/

so wots a girl to do ?? smoke bomb
;D
