i'll give you £4 for each dead rat, £6 if you can catch 'em live.

How dare you? RATS are NICE little animals, they have whiskers n' paws an stuff. If society had any sense the council we would be paying £5 a time for 4x4 owners or people who keep cats or like rap music.bloggoth

My cats (well one of them) brought a rat in that they'd caught near the bins at the local Sainsbury's. It was still alive and ran up the curtains in the family room. I had the missus on the phone to me at work screaming "There's a rat up the curtains, a rat up the curtains!!!!". Much to my hilarity and everyone else's in my office....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Shame it wasn't in the kitchen, because then she'd have said "There's a rat in me kitchen", to which you could have replied "What am I gonna do ?"I had the missus on the phone to me at work screaming "There's a rat up the curtains, a rat up the curtains!!!!".
IGMCOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
