Funniest thing was when I was sharing a house in Birmingham and one of the cats brought in a live rat which ran up the stairs and into this women's bedroom while she was in there. We all thought it was hilarious. We didn't like her very much.

Later the same evening I looked out the window to see a fox wandering through the bushes around the lawn.
Turns out it has a Den at the bottom of the garden.
foxes are great to look at. their poo is disgusting and the noise they make during sex is enough to wake the dead.

better than the half eaten pidgeon I got the week before
the worst was when Mrs BP bought the kids house to find a headless mouse on the doorstep. she wondered where the head was - found it a few seconds later when the cat puked it up.
she missed me that day - as she had to clean it up herself!

How the flippin heck does a mouse find it's way into a new motor?
I've got poison bait in the boot now, and nothing to eat for me dinner.

First thing I did when I got my new motor was to put a sign in the boot ' no -mice'
and , so far, I havnt had a problem. If only everyone was as mouse-savvy as me
