Rodents 1, Aidans 3
I just got dragged away from by revision to catch a mouse that had gotten into my flatmate Geoff's bedroom. Que lots of shouting, moving of furniture and flailing at it with buckets whilst I tried to be methodical and logical to catch the thing. After the Rat we accidentally killed and the mouse that got away, I wasn't letting this one past. One hour and one bleeding finger later (trying to cut a window in the cardboard we had covered th bucket with to see if the mouse was still breathing is harder than it looks), success! I had captured it! The rodent in question not sits in a maximum security bucket-with-a-lid-(including-a-plastic-window-that-nearly-cost-me-a-finger)-gaffer-taped-to-the-top which in itself is siting in the bath (hard for small tings to clime out of) sitting in a locked bathroom, and awaiting extradition to the park 4km away in the morning (the vote in the flat meeting on the issue "kill the bugger" ended two to one in favor of "spare the bugger".)
In record of the momentous day of taking a serious enemy live and with no civilian casualties, i will play my only mice themed song...
