hamster vs gerbils
When I was younger I had a hamster who was named Harry after the magician as he would escape from anything he was put in, even worked out how to unhook the catch on those hamster balls. Clever sod.

I also had two gerbils called Pinky & Perky, they did not like being picked up and were not domesticated at all.

Anyway we kept them in rather large fish tanks with chipboard wooden lids which had large bits of mesh fixed into them - which was great for hamster acrobatics.

They were placed about a foot apart from each other...

Somehow Harry managed to climb up the vertical side of glass of his tank, lift up the rather heavy (for a hamster!) chipboard lid, not decapitate himself, JUMP a foot clear across to the gerbils cage and get inside!

Now that is a a feat worthy of any magician...

We only found out that this is what had happened after my mum noticed later that evening the gerbils were not sleeping in their little house... They had bite marks and everything!

Length? I bet the hamster raped the gerbils too...

Bars
I work in a student bar - and I know it's very very clean (I spent three days cleaning it with 4 other colleages) and the beer lines are cleaned once a week by myself!

That's the worst thing about any other pub in my town though (and across the country), well a lot of them, they don't clean the lines from the barrels to the taps very frequently (by law once a week![i think?])...

This is why you get really really bad hangovers when you haven't drunk that many draught beers and even worse ones when you do...

They try and get away with it with stupid "beer magnets" - they just DO NOT WORK.

So I rarely drink pints unless it's a weatherspoons or some other chain pub - otherwise it's bottles, at least I know it's clean and fresh!!
