******* hell, got home at 7, a nice relaxed evening of doing sod all planned... only to find out from my flat mate that she'd seen a mouse upstairs heading into my room. nice eh?
scout around, check obvious places, not a sign of it, so i give up, assuming it has since moved onto greener (for mice) pastures.
turn around and i see the little ****** heading behind the computer desk...
to cut a long (4 hours) story short. Mouse got into my computer tower and wouldn't ******* come out, it had managed to evade two traps and two people and hide itself away...
eventually managed to get it out long enough to get the computer out of it's bolting range (be employed an old shelf, a cardboard box and the bath tub).
the mouse is now gone.
amazing the computer still works, i wonder if that's why it's been playing up recently?
******* mice.
bet you weren't expecting a tale like that when you read the subject line, eh?

Nope! We've all got computer mice!Legion wrote: bet you weren't expecting a tale like that when you read the subject line, eh?
Sticking with the rodent theme, my cats are killing about 4 a day and I'm clearing up after them. Bloody bastards.
Its amazing how small a gap the little b*****s can fit through. I had mice in the house last year, and finally, following the trail of bodies caught in all the traps I laid, I figured they were getting in though an air-brick! You're talking a gaps of 1cmx1cm. I'd be more impressed by this amazing feat if they hadn't popped up in the kitchen cupboards.Legion wrote:i'd lost one of the blanking plates from the bank (i'd removed an old pci expansion card from the tower and not replaced it) so there was a nice, mouse sized slot it could jump in and out of.Eline wrote:How can they get into your computer tower?
They had to die!
