General Chat

don't half pong!

A few nights ago I heard the cat chasing something in the hall and in my bedroom.

The cat soon settled back on the bed, so I assumed that whatever the centre of the cat's attention was must have escaped.

A couple of days later the room developed a distinct odour, but as the cat had a couple of burst abscesses I put the odour down to that.

Meanwhile, the odour became worse.

Yesterday the penny dropped and I went on a corpse hunt.:-|

I finally located said corpse of mouse (looking very unhealthy and rather fluid) under the cat's woollen sleeping blanket :-S

The nights have been nice and cool, but the days have been very warm. Not good corpse keeping conditions!

Mouse has now been buried, and the house fully aired. This was needed because as I carried the body downstairs the odour permeated all the rooms I walked through :-D

At least the cat had the good grace to look ever so slightly embarrassed :-)

yep, a nasty smell!

My mother had a dead rat....... in the wall cavity! What a stink.

No way of knowing where exactly the dead rat was (so the pest man said)........ he recommended putting up with the pong until the rat dried out.... the alternative was to get tradies in and demolish the walls!

Maybe there's a tiny skeleton there now.

:-(

Something rotten in the State of Western Australia

With apologies to Will Shakespeare :-D

WAAAAAAAAAAA!


I had a dead mouse a couple of weeks ago....... brought it to life with a new battery.

:-D

Knowing you, Allan, I nearly misread "spouses" for "mouses"

Bob, I suppose dead spouses would also create a 'pong', but a bit more pungent than a mouse.

Also, there would be more questions asked before I was allowed to bury her in the garden :-D :-D :-D

Scozz

I could have inserted a battery but I'm not sure that the necessary orifice could have coped :-( :-D :-D :-D

We had a funny smell in our bedroom years ago. Couldn't find the cause for a few days. Finally traced it to behind the headboard. Went to pick up what I thought was a black sock but it turned out to be a dead mouse. It were 'orrible.

This makes me wonder if the plural of mouse is mice why isn't the plural of spouse spice? (Guess it could be spicy having more than one spouse)

It could be, Margee, but if you marry more than one spouse at once, the punishment is having multiple Mothers-in Law :-D :-D

Chorus
I saw a mouse.
Where?
There on the stair.
Where on the stair?
Right there.
A little mouse with clogs on.
Well I declare.
Going clip, clippity clop on the stair.
Oh yeah.

The mouse he got lonely
He took him a wife
A windmill with mice in is hardly surprising
They sang every morning 'How lucky we are, living in a windmill in an Amsterdam yard'.

Chorus

First they had triplets
Then they had twins.
A windmill with twins in, triplets and quins in
They sang every morning 'How lucky we are, living in a windmill in an Amsterdam yard.

House - Hice?

having just received a Christmas email from our long-time (almost 50 years) Swiss friend, and discovered his English is getting worse than it was even back then ..............


I was reminded that he always used to say ........

:-D

A few years ago, we had a nasty niff in our living room. We called our the environmental officer, who turned up with his handy gadget.

Apparently we had a dead pigeon in our chimney, and it was slowly putrifying. Nothing anyone could do until it turned liquid and wasted away.

His words, not ours!

:-0

HMMM!

Emulsifying......

Bob

Mum in law had dead birds stuck in the flue, the one above the cooktop.

The pong was awful, and if she put the extractor fan on, the smells got worse, rather than going up the chimney.

The last straw was when "moving rice" fell out the flu! Lids were NOT taken off saucepans when they were on the cooktop.

I think Mum lived on sandwiches until her sons could get there.

DH and his brother got on the roof, cleaned out the flu the best they could.... I think there were at least 6 dead starlings stuck in there. Everything replaced, and some chicken wire fixed on top of the flue.



:-(

Not nice, Scozz, if your MIL was boiling rice in an uncovered pan :-0 :-D :-D :-D

Not nice at all........ a terrible case of bird flu :-D

:-D :-D :-D
