Oh - sorry, bit slow on the uptake there (stupid work!)Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostMaybe so, but exterminating the wife does seem to be going a tad far.
Yes maybe but strike while the iron's hot and all that..
May not get another opportunity like this again!

They were in hibernation when we looked around and only started coming out a few weeks ago whenever we'd put the heating on.
There must be a (grapefruit sized apparently) nest somewhere near the outside of our flat - unless it's inside or in one of the neighbouring flats.. There is a residents meeting next week so I shall bring it up. They only come in to the bedroom which is on the top floor - maybe they're nesting on the roof?

Piece of advice. Do NOT do a Google image search for "Harlequin Ladyboy" with safesearch turned off.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostThe mind boggles at what a Harlequin Ladyboy might be.
Seriously. Don't bother.

Any suggestions/experiences/witty comments welcome!
Re the ladybirds: I think I reported on them here before, but have no idea what I said now, and it could well have been witty.
