    Yep. It's also not the same one as the one I can hear dicking about over near the window right now

        I have. There was a study by a chap called Daniel Keyes about the similarities between the fates of mice and their hosts. If the conclusion is true, you can be expected to be hoiked out of bed one night and dumped , naked in a freezing lay by before being eaten a flock of owls

          That's the excuse that Nick uses when he gets caught by the rozzers for "roaming" at night with no clothes on!

                After last weeks success with the sticky board, we have left some poison down and its still being eaten. The traps are rubbish.

                Only a matter of time.

                  A proper contractor would have turned this situation into a plan B.

                      The cat would probably sit patiently for the bugger to emerge, then pounce.
