Growing Old is mandatory - Growing Up is optional

Yup, I think that's covered one of the problems with land ownership. The best defence is to dig a ditch and bank up the boundary, then install a decent gate. This won't keep a determined intruder out of course but it's like keeping thieves out of your car; in short you can't. The trick is to make the vehicle standing next to yours look more attractive.

I use to own a MkIII Cortina, Mabel was her name, which was mostly green, with a black vinyl roof, and rust coloured wheel arches, and whatever car that was parked next to, no matter what the condition of the other car, it would always make the other car attractive. :(
