SPAM random annoying things

[Raven]

I am fairly sure they all have killswitches in anyway. All my phones start going wrong just before my contract is up.

 

[CorNokZ]

Can I eat your nail-snot-ear-eax then Corn?

You can eat out of any of my body cavities mate

 

[Bodhi]

Most times I've had issues with any Android phone it's been a dodgy app somewhere getting caught in a loop.

I did think my Z3 was going to die about 3 days after I turned down an upgrade for it, still working fine though.b

 

[Raven]

I am very happy with my Z3 and will probably get a cheap £10 a month tariff for it when the contract is up.

But I know it will die before then.

 

[Raven]

There is still a bastard mouse somewhere in my living room. I can hear the fucking thing messing about. Cats are fucking useless, just sit there staring at bookcases and stuff.

Bought some humane traps today so hopefully will catch it before it eats something important.

 

[TdC]

Bait them with bacon. No foolies.

Edit: my cat was fucking useless too. In fact I think the mouse was bullying and or using it for sex.

 

[Raven]

So, the traps are useless. The mouse has taken the bait out of both of them, sprung the traps and buggered off again.

Furniture moving for me tonight!

 

[fettoken]

Good luck, photos and keep us updated!

Get proper killing traps you great poof

 

[Raven]

The fucking council.

Want some large items collected, cost is £25 for 3 large items, no problem. Throw £25 at someone to get rid of it.

End of may is the soonest they can do it...what is the point? Going to have to hire a van for the day now.

Privatise the lot tbh

That's humane traps for you, the mouse lives.

Mrs Yuck and I getting plagued with accident compensation calls despite being on Telephone Preference for both landline and mobile. We haven't had an accident.

Best way I've found to deal with this is if they are offering accident compo, then just ask them if they know they could be entitled to a PPI refund. If they're calling about PPI refunds ask them about accident compo.

Rinse and repeat.

And pay more than the cost of hiring the van and a couple of hours of your time.

£25 with a long wait is dirt cheap. Dirt cheap.

I built a trap which consists of a large tin with a ramp up to it, food and water at the bottom. The idea is that the mouse, which is presumably thirsty by now (I know its not hungry because it keeps eating what I am putting in the traps) climbs up the ramp I made and drops into the tin to get at the water and food and then cannot get out.

Fucking cat knocked it over and still failed to catch the mouse, which has now moved behind my fireplace.

 

[Moriath]

Snap trap 4tehwin. Keep the cat away tho lol

[~Yuckfou~]

We had mice in the loft. At night it was like Riverdance on the bedroom ceiling as their numbers increased. I used humane traps, baited with chocolate, apparently the best thing. Caught a few but not enough. They then started in the wall cavities so I explained to Mrs Yuck that the nicey nicey approach that she had insisted on was not working. I also explained that they were likely to start chewing through cables and could cause a fire while we were in bed, that did the trick. Next day bought some Rodine poison from B&Q, job done.

 

[Raven]

Yeah going to get some at the weekend. Given it a week to leave peacefully.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Make sure the cats can can't get to it.
ahem.

 

[TdC]

After tearing my computer apart to rebuild it with new gubbins, I done found I seem to have misplaced the standoff screws needed by my water cooling for intel CPU's. Choice words were spoken, I kid you not

 

[caLLous]

You'd better not lose those 2 screws as well.

 

[fettoken]

So no regular screws but special ones that you need put a special order on? Woopdidoo.

 

[TdC]

I just know I'll immediately find them after I give up. Also, t'interpipes say I should just email corsair and they'll send me a replacement set for freeeee....which is great but also means no gaming this weekend

 

[fettoken]

Meditate for half an hour, let the rage subside and then think back where you could have put em.

 

[TdC]

normally I leave unused parts in the box they came from. in this case, the watercooler box has all the parts, adapters, etc, but not the standoff screws.

chocolate was by far best i found, we had a mouse slaughter in a house i lived in some moons ago, it started off with a mouse here or there but after i went home to rents for xmas one of the residents who had practically lived at her bfs house all year turned up and put several kilos of oats and pasta in the bottom cupboards (which were empty because i didnt want mice to eat things while house was empty)

i came home 4 weeks later and we were overrun - it got to the point where i would bait a trap, take a few steps, hear the snap, clear the trap, re-bait, take a few steps, snap...

i stopped keeping track once we hit triple digits of dead mice as it was getting a bit morbid and my ultra vegan, animal protection campaigner was getting unhappy with the score count on fridge - she insisted initially on humane traps while they were only downstairs (where my bedroom was), but as soon as they started showing up in her bedroom it was all "DEATH TO THE MICE!"

Oh I can top that. I do the same, and leave extra screws or stuff i don't need in its respective box, and just store the box indefinetely.

Only that 2 years ago when we had the flat re-done, my wife insisted I have way too many ancient boxes around (she's only half-right). So I summon a modicum of effort and goodwill, and i sit and consolidate various cables, adapters, screws and other bits in one or two boxes....

Which I misplace. And now can't find.

oooh that sucks dude
