By filling it full of nettles and peeing on it, clearly.

The first time I read it I nearly PMSL.

ROFL!! Oh, splendid! I'd post it elsewhere, except that they've
probably seen it already. Hmm, I wonder if the National Assembly for
Wales would appreciate it? I happen to know a few bods concerned with
environmental matters....


Are you in Wales?

How did you guess? :-)

Had another thought, just try to gouge it's eyes out, that would make

it
let go and hopefully blind the thing completely.


This could develop into an interesting thread ...

Am I the only one who feels this thread is getting a long way from being
remotely entertaining?


No, but I didn't find it 'entertaining' in the first place.

Naughty!

Although I once saw a squirrel fall in our pond. It got out very quickly
and I've never seen anything so thin and miserable! With wet fur there's
nothing to them!


Which is why I cannot understand why people talk about cooking them, I've
never seen one with enough meat on it to want to bother.

I would have got a net and trapped the thing in that, you could then
either
smash the buggers head in with a hammer, or drown it.

Are we to take it you don't like squirrels?


Wherever did you get that impression?(:-)

Alan

Only the back legs have enough meat but it's delicious. The problem is
getting the skin off. I think they used something similar for glueing the
labels on 78rpm records.

You've either been away or haven't been paying attention!
