Title: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 18:49:44 Are they really that bad? I think they're quite a cute addition to the Town Gardens; I remember many times when I was younger taking a handful of buts to feed them. Do they really deserve to be exterminstaed at the hands of Prince Charles?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, June 5, 2009, 18:54:47 I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: yeo on Friday, June 5, 2009, 18:58:20 I like them they eat chips.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:00:17 I've just realised that I've never thought to ask how the grey squirrel is responsible for the massive downfall in numbers of the red squirrel. I'm guessing they don't eat them, do they mug them for their nuts and steal their girlfriends or something?
Either way I'm pretty sure red squirrels live elsewhere on the planet quite happily, I don't really give a fuck which variety we have here. In conclusion we should eat them. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:01:51 Have you ever eaten squirrel?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:02:19 nope. One of my biggest regrets.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:02:40 I have....
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:03:06 Nice?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:03:23 Tastes like chicken....
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:05:05 What came first, the chicken or the squirrel?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:05:56 what position were they doing it in?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:06:43 I'm gonna go for the squirrel just to see how predictable your reply will be
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:08:51 I don't know the answer to my own question.
(right way round this time) Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:15:58 I do know the answer to Ben's question though. Grey squirrels are carriers of a disease which doesn't affect the host, but does kill off the red squirrel. Basically squirrel AIDS.
I don't know how it's passed on, maybe the greys rape the reds before stealing their nuts, or maybe the squirrel girlfriends get around a bit. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: spacey on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:17:57 Did you know that squirrels see in black and white but dream in colour? Also dreaming about squirrels is a symptom of scurvy.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:20:31 What if you dream about coming over a squirrel?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: spacey on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:23:21 That's a symptom of accountancy.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:27:24 Weird, I stopped doing accountancy ages ago.
Maybe I mistook a chicken for a squirrel. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: herthab on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:40:36 There's a new squirrel in town, the black squirrel.
They will fuck up the grey squirrels and make the reds their bitches Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Friday, June 5, 2009, 19:45:22 Alesha Dixon?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, June 5, 2009, 20:16:20 Chris Maidstone - eating squirrel. Didn't take you long to go native did it?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, June 5, 2009, 20:59:59 I have been bitten by a grey squirrel. Bastard. About twenty years ago it was outside my then flat looking decidedly fucked by the side of the road as it had probably been hit by a car. I didn't really think about what I was doing but I picked it up and the bastard bit through my thumb.
Tetanus jabs required and the RSPCA to put the little shit down. A red squirrel wouldn't have bit me. He would have given me Starbucks vouchers and a bouquet as thanks. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: leefer on Friday, June 5, 2009, 21:29:35 Its enough to drive you nuts.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 21:32:49 I'm pretty sure that if you trap a grey squirrel you're supposed to put it down or something. A nice bit of unsourced, possibly made up, bit of information in an attempt to add something to the thread.
Personally the grey squirrel has gone up in my estimations during the last few posts. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: leefer on Friday, June 5, 2009, 21:38:56 Are Grey Squirrels just older red squirrels?
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, June 5, 2009, 21:54:30 Are Grey Squirrels just older red squirrels? No, they are the blackshirts of the squirrel movement. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, June 5, 2009, 21:55:50 but red squirrels are commies.
Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, June 5, 2009, 22:04:18 but red squirrels are commies. With families and caring hearts. Title: Re: Exterminate Grey Squirrels Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, June 5, 2009, 22:37:47 Its enough to drive you nuts.
