grey squirrel pancakes

Go for it.

The only good grey squirrel is a dead one.

[Ozz]

There is a dead grey squirrel in my current back garden. I shall take a photo and show it to you all. Bye.

[thenodrog]

Shot one today but must have only nicked it and when I went to find it it had gone. Much as they are vermin I hate doing that but unfortunately I do not live close enough to an inner city slum to be allowed to possess a 'proper' gun.

[Flopsy]

pfft by a "real gun" I presume that you mean a handgun well that'll be useless because its:

1) Unsporting; and

2) Pointless because except in films, you wont be able to hit anything more than 5m away unless you throw the pistol at the squirrel

you want a rifle, but you might as well just get a high powered air rifle or catapult because they're cheaper, easier to use, more accurate and make less noise, so you might be able to get more than one before they realise.

We've got squirells breaking into houses round here. Once in Erdington, always in Erdington

gord get an uzi

[Flopsy]

if he did that he'd have a very holey fence a destroyed rocekry and no dead squirrels. Only in films can you hit anything with an uzi

This is what your after.

Hand gun? bowlox... I mean a 12 bore shotgun!

Vermin probs in the past and I just used to borrow one. Now borrowing a shotgun for a day or two to exterminate damaging vermin is considered on a par with hijacking planes and flying em into buildings, 1st degree murder and driving at 35mph.

Shotgun!! You sissy! What you need is a MG42, Prairie Dogs don't stand a chance, its like shooting Prairie Dogs........ in a prairie.

The largest overkill I have ever seen though was just outside of Fallujah some of the boys from the 1st Marine Division, 1st Tank Battalion noticed a dog (some ugly flea ridden mix bread) running up to them with a satchel strapped to its back, a main gun round from a M1A1 Abrams 120 mm smooth-bore cannon doesn't even leave blood behind.

Yeah because that happens.

A Shotgun? talk about making it easy for your self, you big wuss, use a long barrell, it takes skill and not just being able to point the weapon in the general direction of the target

you want to use one of these

Will get rid of any vermin problem, and possibly most of next doors wall

OK Flopsy but you need to tell me what it is called then I can drive to Moss Side this evening to pick one up.

Bloody hell. I thought B12 was bad. We've got a rat infestation but at least they're not after the DVD player and George Formby grill.

[Flopsy]

George Formby grill.

Cooks meat healthily and cleans the windows, it is truley a wonderous device

Yup.

"How's your steak?"

"Turned out nice again!"

[RoversFanUSA]

I secretly taped these squirrels, so this might shed a little light on "How They Roll" when your not around! If anyone trys and tell you different just tellum "Squirrel Please!"

Hells ya!

[RoversFanUSA]

I saw this and thought of you...

[colin]

The African Cup Of Nations is in full flow.

The nick-name of the Benin team is "The Squirrels"

So let's get behind them.

[RoversFanUSA]

I with you on that colin!

Saw one Thurs morning on Bolton Road paws up - is the tide turning?

It's a scam,

The one lying in the road is a decoy. They prey on unsuspecting motorists. Those fool hardy drivers who stop to look, get mugged by the remainder of the pack, who have been laying in wait behind walls, bins and up trees.

Another scam that you need to watch out for, is emails from the Fernhurst area claiming to be collecting funds for Nigera. It would appear that the squirrels have tapped into new broadband cables in the area, which why many subscribers in the area have slow connections.

It's a daft but brave bgugger then..... If there's a fresh dead one in the road I usually try to squish em properly!

No squirrels recently. This winter's visitors are rats looking for a new residence during the recent cold spell. Tip -underneath decking and raised flower beds make excellent dwelling places. Fortunately Colin from the council's pest control department kills the blighters for free.

That's not me BTW. When I see a rat I scream & stand on a chair. I'm OK with cameras though. I just pucker up.

Totally nuts
