    Mice

    Been hearing little feet scurrying about in the loft for a few weeks so invested in a couple of mouse traps. Set them up in the loft last night with a generous dollop of peanut butter on each, but not expecting much to happen.

    Checked first thing this morning, lo and behold: a beautiful little field mouse with his head smashed in . That'll learn him!

    Most satisfying thing I done in ages, can’t wait to get home to see if I’ve caught another.

      I use a humane mouse trap and feed the little fekkers up before releasing them - Peanut Butter works a treat!

        My mouse trap is more humane; their final meal is a good quality paté.

          You need to kill em or they breed, and they breed pretty fast. One or two becomes twenty in a matter of weeks.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I think they'd have to start with two.

              I'm not sure with those little buggers....

              We had them when we first moved in here. We got eighteen in the first two weeks, some nights we'd see the traps in the garden go, reset them, and see them go again. We'd get three or four in a night.

                That won't work either.
                I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                  I bet they try though.
