# nooooooooooooooo
that is very sad indeed.

(my grandad actually catches them and drowns them in his pond as he still thinks it's the war and that the local council will give him 5 shilling per tail! *fact!*)

That's what he tells you. That's what so great about being old, you can get away with *anything*.

(but they don't pay you now..)

# i
was in a car that appeared to run over a squirrel last night.

having said that, we couldn't see it on the way back, so i'm trying to believe that it survived...
