Jacobites would be a better name for Mini Cheddars. e: They had some adverts with talking Mini Cheddars in 1992

Guavanaut posted:It's time we stopped pandering to columnists. Indulging those who claim to be journalists by giving them designated websites and delusions of relevance has gone too far. Lord of the Llamas posted:Peak centrism is making everyone hate you and then expecting them to vote for you because it's obvious you're the sensible grown up. They really do want to go back to having someone who 'looks trustworthy' sorting it all out for them, so they don't have to pay attention and can go back to playing dinner parties. And the problem with Kieth is he was designed in a lab to look trustworthy to that sort of person, but in practice was a gormless berk with absolutely no moral or ideological stance on anything.

Four storey house, Im at the top, no attic, no attached houses, so not sure how the little bugger got up into my room. Laid the trap with chocolate peanut butter, caught him, and walked a mile away and let him out in a ditch. When I was moving out, I found his 'home', he had eaten into my foam mattress and created a little burrow lined with chewed up paper.

They are monstrous, I didn't know better at the time but for the love of god do not use them.Modern snap traps are perfectly humane though, I've never not had a clean kill with them.

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/milkgapes/status/1393349132383891458 Not to stan for Stammer, but there is another reason why he might not be wearing a wedding ring. If you put on weight (and we aren't talking massive amounts of weight.) It can sometimes just end up distributed on the parts of you hands/fingers near where you wear your ring. You don't even end up with big sausage fingers, but you can have build ups that make wearing rings hard or painful. And the photos of Keir over the last few years have shown him looking less and less healthy.

Don't use poison either, unless you enjoy the smell of rotting mouse

Until I fix whatever tiny hole they're using to get in trying to exile them is pointless. There's clearly a well-trodden and pissed on path established into my attic. Probably going to have to call in professionals to find it because I've tried and completely failed. Thankfully no sign anything's getting into the rest of the house. Should get a little ratter dog just in case, though.

I spent weeks trying to no kill trap a mouse and they do not give a gently caress about peanut butter unless it's underneath a guillotine. About 2 hours after I put down a single lethal trap he was right in there. Of course by then he'd brought his whole family and it got very heart of darkness. You feel awful about the first mouse but glad about the sixth mouse. If they go off properly the mouse dies before it can finish its scream which is... that's good right

If you think the hole might be between the roof and the outside, get your mate to drop a smoke grenade in the attic while you pace around the outside seeing where it comes out.

I've used them twice, did not want to but they were coursing through the floorboards/ceiling space incessantly at night and the lack of sleep over two weeks was driving me bonkers.... so i did it because it worked.  Never want to do it again. edit: spelling

I've never had to use mousetraps (on account of having 5 cats) but have come downstairs to see one of them had brought in a live mouse, nearly lost it and rectified the situation...by half crushing it under the lid of a sewing machine. Seriously it was like something out of a Looney Tunes movie, I never did find out which one was responsible

At uni once I opened the cupboard the bread is stored in and pulled it by the bag only to find it was just the crust hollowed out from the back of the cupboard by a motherfucking mouse who was still there and looking at me with what felt like a hint of smugness before fleeing.

A lot of international charities have really high salaries to pull in people with political connections or celebrity status. Kinda speaks to the hollowness of certain charities but I guess it's unavoidable in our current economic system.

Communist Thoughts posted:I spent weeks trying to no kill trap a mouse and they do not give a gently caress about peanut butter unless it's underneath a guillotine. It's a pain but only handle the humane trap with gloves on and stick a cardboard box over the top, that way they seem a lot quicker to scurry on in. Works on rats and mice in and outdoors. Walnuts stuck in peanut butter does the trick for me.
