Missing, presumed, oh who cares..........

I agree. It's almost like a Sci-Fi movie gone terribly wrong.

That is true, our house stunk to high heaven a few years back. I think a mouse died under the floorboards.

I don't, maybe they were before my time?

When I was student, a mouse ate my last piece of food. As the shops had shut, I went without until breakfast.

I caught that mouse in a plastic box, and I was so mad with it, I left it in the box while I sat down with a ciggie deciding how it would suffer. I did not have much money for food, so I was usually hungry, so to do without, was particularly unpleasant.

Anyway I decided to drop it into the pot, tip water in on top of it, and bring it to the boil.

You are all now expecting me to say, that I softened and let it go?

Nope, I didn't.

Insane... I wonder if that will be me one day; I am not close to many people IRL, and I may not have children!
