More time in jail than rapists or murderers. For rambling naked. Crazy bloody law.

[andrewducker]

That is _numerous_ sentences for nakedness, to be fair.

But yes.

I'd like to hope Strathclyde police had something better to do. But. This has been a series of persecutions lead by Strathclyde police, who do seem to have it in for the guy.

[andrewducker]

Strathclyde police have a reputation for heavy-handedness. I was not happy when they effectively took over policing for all of Scotland.

If you want to eject wee murine visitor, we got hold of a very effective little tilt trap which traps them without harm and you can then release them outside.

Just as well as our little visitor was a very pregnant female!

Fwiw, they're buggers for peanut butter! :o)

We put nutella in ours, that worked well too :)

[cmcmck]

Works for humans as bait to do the munchies, so why not? :o)

[andrewducker]

Thanks!

(We generally use deadly ones, because otherwise they either find their way back, or starve to death, from my understanding. Neither of which are things I fancy much.)

That Eleanor Rigby cartoon is... memorable.

re;Emu war. Emus don't tweet, they honk. Loudly. Then kick you.

The falls -- can't they send something that can emit a radio signal down it?

[andrewducker]

Interesting discussion here:

Where it looks like there is tech that can do this - you need specialist radio equipment that works through solid rock and/or layers of water (both of which block radio signals really well), but it's theoretically doable with the right kit.

I can't help wondering if the authorities haven't already done this, but not published the results because the mystery makes for a more lucrative tourist attraction...

[andrewducker]

You may well have a point there...
