TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL
Ah thank you, I didn't know that myself. How very interesting, I have been told that salt helps, a friend of mine said that salt can get rid of slugs however I wouldn't like to try it out... I was also told you could buy poisons for slugs but if birds eat the slugs after it can make them sick..

Anyway, this is very interesting. Who would have thought that slugs would hate coffee?
