@bubu1uk @kevan We're not allowed to seal off their entry to the loft by law and they use monkey nuts and water to entice them into the trap
-
is wondering if the squirrels in our loft will ever enter the trap so we can get our lighting repaired :(
-
@carlplage Poor squirrels! Oo
-
@fabsh I really think laconica should support the alternative operation systems as well *g*
-
@carlplage squirrels in the loft.. are they eating the wires?
-
@bavatar Well, Windows Server.... OK. But Vista? VISTA? Come on! Had to restrain myself not to answer that guy.... ;)
-
@fabsh Poor us we've had no electric lights upstairs or downstairs for over a week now :(
-
@kevan Hey, dude! Katy says hello. She says it's said that you can't meet us in Berlin.
-
@carlplage Hmmm.... Still. Squirrels are soooooo cute..... :)
-
@kevan Yes Kevan they ate the downstairs lighting ring which has the landing light then the upstairs ring
-
@fabsh Yes cute but having to go the toilet with a torch is too much
-
@carlplage Yeah, I guess... ;)
-
@fabsh I agree, feel sorry for the poor ickle squirrels, especially knowing what will happen to them. :(
-
@fabsh We did check to see about visa's for Xu... but really awkward till next year.
-
@carlplage yikes... maybe try a bigger fuse... and wait till you smell cooked squirrel ;)
-
@kevan I understand. Say hello to Xu, BTW. :) And LOL @ the cooked squirrels.
-
@carlplage @kevan @jackieplage You guys ever play Fallout? Squirrel on a stick is a food item in there... :)
-
@kevan The house has old style fuses not circuit breakers but too late they've eaten through both lighting ring mains so no lights
-
@fabsh Hehe, briefly yeah, but it seems I'm rubbish at it so didn't last long :)
-
@carlplage That sounds dangerous. No Fi breaker? Oo
-
@kevan Been told by environmental health that squirrels don't conduct through their teeth so they don't feel a thing :(
-
@fabsh we have fallout 2 for the 360 yes
-
@jackieplage Love that game. VATS is your friend ;)
-
@carlplage so that will be a nail then ;)
-
@bubu1uk Hi bubu no they take them away and shoot them, but got a feeling too many acorns up there so may be a longtime catching them :(
-
@fabsh I'll probably get back into it, was distracted by Oblivion and Fable 2 at the time I think. :)
-
@kevan a nail would work but no circuit anymore its already broken :(
-
@bubu1uk I think the trap is a shotgun with a piece of electric cable tied to the trigger waiting for the next bite :)
-
@kevan lol If Carl had his way it probably would be!
-
@carlplage hows the squirrel infestation?
-
@fabsh I will say hi to xu from katy and you :)
-
@carlplage i have the perfect solution...
-
back to studying...
-
@kevan enjoy suppose I should do some more on my 2 OU small courses over the next few days
-
@chrisj And pary tell what is that?
-
@carlplage you will need alka saltza, bread & milk...
-
@bubu1uk Don't encourage him, think of the squirrels!
-
@bubu1uk The loft is not exactly large and they hide well in the insulation but not sure on ari rfiles and legalities
-
@chrisj Is that for us or the squirrels? :)
-
@fabsh It doesn't meet electrical regs 7 it's still 1960's fusebox should be rewired within the next couple of yesrs or so
-
@fabsh did you read http://lunduke.com/?p=526 ? It's a battle of the sensationalist attention cravers! Maybe they're colluding. ;)
-
@jackieplage - thanks, I'm sure we will.
-
@bubu1uk LOL we just want them gone they've been in house before we moved in last december
-
@bubu1uk Took the wiring to be eaten through for the council to do something about them
-
@carlplage air-rifles as legal. disolve the alka saltza in milk, pour it over bread & feed to squirrels
-
@chrisj Have to catch the little sods first
-
@carlplage nearly forgot, the milk needs to warm when you add alka saltza
-
@chrisj If we could do that we can catch them in trap the normal way and climbing in the loft is awkward very small area up there
-
@carlplage I'm in london next week... but have to hand in my TMA the day I get back home... So I have a deadline
-
@kevan :)
-
@kevan well good luck with it. Is it for work that you're doing the course or personal?
-
@rfquerin Maybe it's both Bryan. Man, what nonesense... That guy really has too much free time...
-
@fabsh Did you know the Wakoopa linux tracker has now been officially released btw? Thought you might be interested :)
-
@jackieplage Thanks. I got an email. I'll have to check it out.... :)
-
@carlplage you only need to lay the bread-balls in the loft, they cant resist heh
-
@sleepynate lol I don't think it's quite that clever yet :)
-
@jackieplage @carlplage you feed the mix to squirrels and the gas ruptures their stomach
-
@chrisj Not at all cruel then? :P
-
@jackieplage its only cruel if they suffer and they dont, they die pretty quick
-
@chrisj I think we'll let environmental health deal with them, just to be on the safe side :)
-
@jackieplage spoilsport heh :)
-
@jackieplage @carlplage if squirrels eat too much of the mix, they can explode
-
@carlplage I started for work.. but I've paid this one myself... and Jersey is counted as a non EU so fees are tripple!
-
@kevan Ouch bit costly then but hopefully worth it in the end, going to do CCNA from September to improve my job prospects
-
@kevan Having a job would also be nice at the moment too ;)
