We\'re still with the mice?
OK, mice can walk a long way and if you just set it free across the road it will go straight back to your house where it knows it\'s warm, comfy and has food.

You need to go for a drive preferably more than 5 miles before letting it out. Great fun for bus trips!

I\'ve had considerable success with two litre cola bottles, placed at a gentle angle with some way to reach the opening, you smear the opening with cheese and put a lump of the cheese in the bottom of the bottle, mouse comes, smells the cheese, sees the lump of cheese, crawls in, can\'t crawl out again, think I\'ve caught about 50 or so mice in those traps, not the tricky bit is getting them out :twisted:

I think all that rat poison has killed off too many of Ubers braincells. If I ever get all the stuff I\'m supposed to be doing for various things finished we\'s gonna have a paint off :cussing:

Doncha just love thread Hijacks. :)

Venting:
My main need to vent is about the decline in underwear. Specifically Male Underwear.
Why after so many years of wearing the same style of medium sized comfortable supporting trunks, have M&S decided that ALL men now have testicles the size of small peas?
I know I haven\'t grown any larger, well not there anyhow.
******g uncomfortable is an understatment.............And if you try to \"put things right\", Why is it every Granny in town chooses THAT moment to look right at you.

Secondly; 13 year old boys in Games Workshop stores who think that just because you are in conversation with another adult they have the right to
1:- invade your personal space, (a particular pet peeve of mine),
2:- interrupt the discussion and
3:- discuss the latest Uber Killing Machine Army they have concocted.
Wouldn\'t have been so bad if I knew him, but I\'d never clapped eyes on the little snot before.
Theres a particular calculation that goes on in these situations regarding the Impact velocity of ones fist against a face, the level of satisfaction obtained, and the probable judicial outcome.

. Peeve at the sneaky marketing going on. You\'d have to be a bit older to get this one but notice a Hershey bar. Looks the same....same size...right? Wrong - X and Y are the same, Z is about 1/3 what it used to be. They are paper thin.
. Twinnings (GOOD tea) put out a flashy new package of tea in a very nice, fancy tin....a big tin. Problem is that their old tin\'s that were literally 1/4 the size had 3 times the tea for less money!
. Same for canned food. Check the actual, dry weight. The can\'s the same, even the total weight may be the same but the actual weight of what you are wanting is less. They make up the weight with more water.

Indeed I do, we\'ve never had a vermin problem ourselves though, those traps were devised for my friends rodent infested barn in the north of Iceland.

Meh. We got mice over here having gaing fights with the rats.

Heres some ventage to get the thread back on track -

Why has my generator gone out 8 times in the last 4 weeks? This might not be bad if I lived in a nice insulated hooch, but I live in a canvas hilton (tent) which has all the insulation value of dried spit. Add to this the fact that the frakking generator usually goes out at 0 dark thirty in the morning (and the five thumbed monkeys from Generator Repair take over an hour to get the damn thing running) when the temp is hovering around vital bit freezing off levels, and one could see how this could be upsetting.

Now, lets make it worse - the afore mentioned less than qualified mechanics have managed to keep it running for the last 4 or 5 days - but decided to shut the damn thing off at 0130 to pressure wash it - which took 2 hours.

Treating people with dignity and respect my left butt cheek!!

I\'ll toss a vent in here.

Just got back from the gym. Whatever idiot was supposed to work today did not show up, so I had to head right back home. It made me particularly mad because it will throw me off schedule. Guess it\'s time to cancel my membership there and go to a different gym that\'s actually open.
