throbber Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Cheers, Throbs! I'd set that to record the other day when I saw the advert but completely forgot. Gripping stuff so far. Yeah I liked it despite a bit of poor acting from the police officer who broke the news to the parents of the bride! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I killed a mouse this morning. We had set some traps last night as my wife had spotted a mouse running around. Came into the kitchen this morning and spotted a mouse lying beside the trap. Excellent, I think, the trap has clearly done its job. I then go to bag it and bin it when it starts moving and I am a bit taken aback. Then starts a bit of thinking about how to humanely put it out of its misery. Do I just put it in the wheelie bin and let it die, clearly in pain and unable to move? Do I take it outside and let the local cats finish it off? Do I end its suffering by smothering it with a pillow? In the end I smashed it with a brick and now I feel terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel terrible, smashing it with a brick was the right course of action. Of course you will now have nightmares about a giant mouse breaking into your house and killing you with a brick in your bed, but that's a small price to pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Was there nothing closer to hand that would make the entire thing less barbaric than a brick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 You did the decent thing, endieinreekie. Just don't go telling everyone about it. I had a great aunt who lived in rural #Perthshire, and loved to regale me with her tales of putting run-over cats out of their misery by stabbing them through the heid with sharp sticks. Seemed to happen so often that I think she was just grabbing perfectly healthy strays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brick was fairly comprehensive in its despatching of the poor mouse. A shoe might not have had the same effect and might have increased its suffering while I tried to bludgeon it to death. I don't normally keep sticks or pieces of metal pipes around the house, funnily enough. I'm glad I did it outside given the way its head exploded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to worry about now is listening to the dying squeaks of it's starving mouse babies. A bit like the pigeon inadvertently nailed in to the eaves of our house. Fortunately I'm on holiday, so it'll be well dead by the time I get back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Dee Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I killed a mouse, with a claw hammer, once. It was the correct course of action to take, as it would have suffered a long lingering death, due to being stuck in a glue trap. Eta furthermore, there's absolutely nothing in life that cannot be sorted in life with a tin of Stella and a claw hammer. Nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
