Boo.. I thought they were going to be giant huge rats which you could put on a lead and keep as an ace pet. Rats are very clever don't you know.

If you don't like rats, don't eat in Pizza Express in old town, they used to have massive rat problems. In fact that whole corner around bath road and devises road used too. Probably still does. Easy access to really old sewers or something. Billions of them scuttling around in forgotten underground architecture. That's what I like to imagine anyway.

If carnivorous spiders learnt to co-operate we'd all be fucked. It said so in John Wyndham posthumously released book "Web".

Where do you live? My Nan lives on Pakenham road, park South just a stones through away from shaftesbury lakes.

Is it de-javu (Sp) or have we had this conversation before?

Anyway, rats are so so so so cool, they are very intelligent, clean (Yes they are clean), and they make wonderfully loyal and devoted pets.

I miss my Nesta (A deceased rat pet/friend) was as cool as.

Oh, and now having read the article.

That's another thing that makes rats so cool, is they they are as tough as and can handle pretty much anything that is thrown at them.

Rat poisons have to be constantly altered cos' the rats become immune very very quickly.

I may be wrong but from memory I recall that in the case of a nuclear attack, then rats would thrive (Along with cockroaches.)

Rats are cool.

Possibly, I'd need a clue though (Asides from being Irish).

Are the swans back yet? the summer that I left the resident swan couple where not to be seen.

Poles as in Polish people? and is fishing allowed at shaftesbury now then?

Have the Geese been knicking the bream to eat or the Poles?

I'm confused.

And to think that you are from the posh side.  :wink:

some polish folk have allegedly been stealing fish to eat,i aint seen it but was told by some dude i got into conversation with one day who was fishing. fishing is allowed on the lake and has its own club.

the geese just seem to eat the grass,but there are loads of them and the amount of goose shit is daft.it is everywhere.
