Can think of some on here who could easily have taken the offer up..

Pollyana

Today's laugh........sat in the Pig & Whistle in Queen Street pondering on the fact that the only drawback with these new glasses is the fact I can see how yeuch the local blokes are
And this guy walks up to the bar in vest and indecent shorts........now this is a Brit pub, for those who don't know Brisbane, proper beer, Bulmers cider, decent football etc.....so the guy mutters something like "grab me a schooner of heavy stuff" to which the barman replies "Does sir mean he would like a pint of best bitter?"

Witchy nearly falls off her stool laughing, Aussie bloke looks confused and says "ÿeah whatever maaaaate" Ends up with a pint in front of him and announces that anyone who can drink that much beer needs a medal So much for the hardened Aussie drinker! Sooooo funny though, this barman with a perfect BBC accent and completely dead-pan, sorting out Mr Idiot

unfair dinkum

Now I know why you didn't get revenge & set the rodents on them - you've lost 'em!

Esmeralda Chipmunk told them to book into Business Class but they insisted on trying to travel cheap, and look where it got them!! They managed to escape though, they are due into Brisbane shortly having stowed away again in someone's backpack

So you won't be needing to stuff the bloody possums any time soon?

And I have a rodent related confession to make, lets hope the landlord doesn't read the forum

When I got back from England this time I thought I had some very large geckoes in the flat, lots of stuff knocked over or moved. Soon discovered evidence that proved not geckoes, but mice had moved in. There was a gap under the front door just big enough for a mouse and me being away for a month, plus the local cat was evicted last year, mice moved in to the garden and then the unit.
When I got up one afternoon last week and disturbed 3 of them, who then made a bolt straight under the door I knew I had to do something. So I got Mr Dodgy East European Landlord and told him to fix the gap, which he did, by nailing a bit of wood to the bottom of the door.....not pretty but it does the job. Unfortunately he also bought a box of Ratsak which he then spread across the doorstep, down the steps and under the unit NOOOOOO ~ I'd told him I didn't want them dead, I just wanted them kept outside!

So when he left I took the hoover and removed all traces of the ratsak

He came back today and asked about the meeces, I told him they can't get in now, and the ratsak has vanished.......he's happy, end of problem.
Now I just feel guilty cos they are stuck outside in the cold getting hailed on but at elast they arent ex-meeces

The possoms are soooo funny at the moment. Cos I'm working loads of nights they are only getting fed about 2 or 3 nights a week. So as soon as I put food out for them I can hear them falling out of the tree and racing down the garden Three of them are currently doing 6 apples a night between them! Just as well I'm not feeding them every night, I'd be broke!

Be really nice to them, give them a couple of bananas..

Pollyana

It gets better, its currently 20 degrees in the city and this girlie has just walked in announcing Ïts soooo cold I can't even think, if it gets any worse I might die WIMP!!!!!!

Pollyana

I did that earlier in the year!!! During the cyclone/flood season we had loads of fruit donated to us at work, as well as stuff we bought. Any that wasn't eaten was just chucked out so I was bringing it home and feeding it to them!!! I had to do some of the invoices last night, we were paying $2.49 per kilo for bananas then (end of December). I love my little possoms but they aren't getting bananas now, not at $15 a kilo.
