I am with you Yeovil, i fucking hate them.  In fact i have a philosophy that is "Don't like/trust anything that has more legs than yourself"

I was doing our garden a couple of weeks ago.  The old fence that fell down last winter was on the ground and i picked it up and a bloody mouse ran out, i shat my load.  It had little babies in a hole in the ground and everything.  Fortunately the Mrs, who at this time was more of a man than myself, disposed of the fence and the mice had gone by the morning.

You've just made him majorly paranoid  :D

Yeovil will be standing on a chair screaming, hitching his skirt up.

Perhaps it's an animagus, and will shortly be turning into a man once thought dead.

I was going to question how the fuck you kill anything with a tennis ball too.

He's got a good arm.  Perhaps he should have taken cricket up, instead of slating it as a youngster.

I knocked it out with a tennis ball then dropped a shoe on it 10 times.Then stood around for an hour and wondered what to do with it next in a state of mild panic.

Looks like a mouse. When I was in halls last year there were so many rats running around it was scary. Sometimes they would run across the path in front of you  :shock:  Southampton has a rat problem, dirty fucking City.

Yeovil if you get more of the fuckers ring up environmental health and they have to get rid of them for you:

Thanks a lot UB40. Tell us what to do with rats but completely fucking ignore giving advice on mice. Just another example of pop stars ignoring the public to serve their own needs. No wonder this country is going down the pan. I'm writing to crimewatch, watchdog and points of view. Yours disgusted, Basingstoke.

That looks like a young brown rat.

FYI

diseases carried by brown rats:-

Salmonella - carried by all rodents.

Trichinosis - Pork roundworm. Initially the worm lodges in the intestines, but the larvae may invade the muscles to form cysts that are often resistant to drug treatment.

Rat Bite Fever - Murine Typhus spread by lice on the animal, they die of it, but not before they have passed it on.

Hantavirus

Leptospiral Jaundice(Leptospirosis). Symptoms are flu like, with a severe persistent headache and if you think you have been in an area where there are rats, then you should seek immediate medical advice. Affects the liver and kidneys. Needs early treatment.

Hello - I'll use my first post to impart a bit of zoological information.  I think rats have bald tails, its just skin, whereas mice have furry tails.  What are your tennis balls made out of by the way ?  concrete ?!
