Well that was odd....

I was out last night after watching the RWC final and having been to a club by the time I got back home wasn't feeling very much like sleeping so I decided to sit down at my desk and check a couple of forums. Nothing particularly odd about all this except that I discovered there was a mouse in my printer. I mean, seriously, of all the places that you could set up home why pick a printer - they are usually hot, noisey and likely to give a nasty paper cut to delicate mouse unmentionables.

Then I discovered that the little sod had been taking nibbles out of the juggling balls that I'd left on my desk, obviously not the cheap old set I've had for years but the new and vaguely expensive set I'd just bought - now what makes this all the more strange is that I'd also left a bar of good chocolate on the desk which was completely untouched.

One good thing about the mouse sitting in the printer was that I could just close the paper door and take it outside without harming it, moral of the story is that HP Laserjets make a good mousetrap.

Anyone else had any complete WTF moments recently?

We have a mouse running round our kitchen, i'm currently setting up my printer there to see what happens, not sure if it'll work though being a cannon

Haven't got to worry about mice - they'll be able to smell the boys and will avoid.

Had one in the flat before though - Mic thought I was imagining it as we were in the attic flat of a newly converted town house.
He kept saying we'd see dropping or something but it was only because I as sitting watching TV when Mic was on nights and it walked into the room, looked at me for a moment and then scampered away that I even realised it was there.
Mic only believed me once I put down crackers and they vanished.

^ I had a mouse in my bedroom once when I was living by the wedgewood rooms, I was in bed watching southpark on my poota and it crawled out from under the sink and said hello to me!

Weird because there were no holes/gaps for it to get through!
So it was officially trapped in my room when the door was shut

I would have thought a cannon would have been overkill for a mouse!

You saw Stuart

(Either that or you need to cut back on the drugs mate).

Well its good that you found it and put it back outside. Would they come back in though?

You just reminded me of someone I used to know at uni. I banged on the door, he came and opened it and we walked towards the living room. In the space of 30 secs of him walking down the stairs and opening the door, a mouse had crawled out and decided to pop its clogs on the stairs

His uni house was pretty nasty though

.......

Reminds me of the song "A Windmill In Old Amsterdam".

Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

Well he wasn't wearing green but he did squeak at me, I assumed he was trying to say something
