As for having a good aim...I was under a spreading chestnut tree on Sunday and a grey squirrel was lobbing them in my general direction At least the spiky husks haven't developed yet!

hiya

just wondering if you guys knew... people are now eating grey squirrels in the UK... to save the red i guess

its on the bbc website : BBC - Tyne - Features - Squirrel on the menu



Well, thats ONE way of saving the Red Squirrel. But really....squirrels???


As for spiders, I get freaked out by the big ones, but i can never kill them. I normally leave them be! I tried the conker thing in school, I think it only lasts so long...
