CAaaaaaaaaaaarl !!!

He's obviously the cool, hard, mysterious, silent type, Paul.

And, I suppose, the distraction provided by two young, fit nurses won't help.......

[rabbitwrecker]

Yep, very vivid imaginations!

Or, just plain nuts!!!

I find the two conditions generally go hand in hand...

I hope Carl appreciates what we've done for him....

[NewPaul]

Cool Hand Carl

When he's rich and famous?

I'm sorry folks but someone has to tell you.
The Leyland breed of Rat is not normal .
It is a Super Mutant breed !
More often than not it can be found hiding in sheds or outhouses
It has human features , and can occasionally be seen outside the local Post Ofiice on certain days.
It has also been known to frequent the benches outside the local supermarket sipping from a bottle of cheap Sherry or strong lager.
Be Warned ....... Beware the Leyland Rat !!

[TonyL]

Do they grow much bigger than normal rats, then?

[Alakar]

Oh HUGE !
Be Warned they may be amongst us

[TonyL]

Wot, like generally between 5'2" and 6'4" long and able to walk just on their back legs?

I think I may have seen one or two in my time without realising!


What do they do to disguise their tails?

And what's the best way to eradicate them?

Proper cliffhanger of a thread this ,,, ive read the lot hoping for a dead rat outcome ,,, alas it wasnt to be ..... having a animal food warehouse at the back of our garden ensures a good bit of sport with the endless supply of trespassing rats at the end of our garden ,, It has rekindled my interest in nailing as many as i can ,, great fun ..especially when my mrs wakes me up on the settee passing me my gun and demanding to shoot them as she spots them . Im loving the idea of a .25 for this purpose

Even the neighbours knock on the door too tell me they have seen them in their gardens ,, " your welcome to shoot them in our garden if you see one ,, you can probably shoot into our garden from your bedroom window "

great neighbours

That's them !
Quite probably seen without realising
Tails are often wrapped around their heads or hidden under baggy coats.
The only way is to cut off their food and drink supplies .

I have also heard they have nothing to do all day but breed and have large amounts of young rats

I don't normally use text speak, but LOL at the above posts!

Carl - are you out there?

[TonyL]

Carl says that he's quite enjoying the attention that he's currently receiving from his two lovely carers, so he's not in any mad rush to get back into active duty.

"All in the fullness of time" he said when last asked.
