    No meal leftovers here = no mice. Even cooking scraps are hung in a plastic bag on a cupboard, 5ft from the floor.

    When I first started working in a pharmacy, the wife of the Chinese restaurant chef did the shop cleaning before I opened up. One morning, I enter the back of the shop and was confronted with crazed little lady ranting at me 'Bigamist! Bigamist!'.

    I start thinking 'bloody country towns and their gossips', then she points down to the cosmetics section, where I see the 'Bigger mouse! Bigger mouse!' groggily dragging a trap.

    Also, they're made of plastic so when I sink it into a bucket of water they don't rust! Or just leave them a few extra days and the succers die.
    Hurting mice when you trap them - bad
    Drowning or starving mice in a tiny cage - ok

    Is that how it works?

    No. I've actually had more success catching them with the humane traps, rather than mouse traps. And drowning does kill them damn quick. And the humane traps I use can catch more than one at a time, so I can just leave them and check on the once in a while. If it get's more than one, they'll just eat each other anyway.

    They come into my house when its dry. But since I put a seal under the internal door to the garage have never seen one.

    When daughter was about 12 saw a mouse run up her leg and over her shoulder. All this while she was screaming that she saw a mouse behind the telly.

    Then she jumped on me and was hysterical for 5 mins. When she calmed down she couldn't remember what happened.

    Later that night he was in her bedroom.

    But he was executed by the morning

    Laptop running the TV is fine, it's just not up to CAD/music editing/photo editing that the main PC is used for.

    You must have been waiting a long time for an opportunity to use that one.

    I must admit that when I planned out how to tell my story I had it sequenced so that I could mention that I knew through this forum that I couldn't rent a cat. Then I forgot to put it in. So I'm adding it now.

    My method is to grab by the tail and a simple tap of its skull on the brick wall above the bin does the job.

    This is hilarious.

    I see what you did there!

    Lived in an old house in the middle of vineyards a long time ago. Watching tv, when this rat walks in the lounge. I reached for my putter, and let's just say it didn't do my putting stats any good*.
    Got the little bastard in the end, but spent the next half hour cleaning the floor boards.

    *yes lads, even worse than the infamous rosewood invitational.

    People who don't turn up to 5am appointments. It isn't that difficult to be punctual.

    It'd be easier in summer given that the sun will have been up for almost an hour already.

    Fn internet slow downs on Evibay bidding.
    Was going for 2 Titleist polo shirts. The first one I wasn't real fussed (DK Blue) if I got or not. I missed with 3 secs to go, went for $33US.
    The second (Black) that I really wanted I had a slow down freeze when putting max bid in with 40secs to go so I missed and it sold for $15US. I was going to $50 on that one farrrrrrrrrk.

    Waking up early for golf only to discover there is a torrential downpour in progress. Had been looking forward to playing all week.

    At least I could go back to sleep!

    But think about the farmers, and the dams, and the gardens etc.

    Actually it irritates me when people say that. Obviously they don't know how important I am and how disappointed I get when rain spoils my plans.
