Mole hill, in the middle of my ****ing new lawn this morning. is Mr Mole taking the p*ss or is this some kind of declaration of war?
Put something down the tunnel that smells bad and is biodegradable, eg very old cheese and wisps of dried grass soaked in over-fermented yoghurt or sour milk. They dislike noise, so you could try putting a loud radio in the run.
'I put smelly cheese down a hole to make moles go away, and all I got was this lousy t shirt.'

Hello is that firearms control? Yes I'd like to add an extra gun to my license. Yes a .410. What's it for? I shall be using it to shoot the moles in my lawn.
The best way to deal with moles is to ram a garden fork into the molehill when you see it moving - a lot quieter and safer than shooting at it....
ION - red traffic lights with roadworks ahead. 2 lanes at the lights, one of them disappearing into cones 100 yards ahead. In the non-disappearing lane, a Vauxhall Agila and a Nissan note at the head of quite a long queue. In lane due to merge: a Focus St, a CL65 Brabus, and my V8 Rangie. Lights turned green... all 3 of us easily and effortlessly merge ahead of the queue in a cacophony of rumbling engines

Grrrrr - the Wife won the 'Toothpaste War' this morning.
She never wins the 'Kitchen Bin War' though.
I take it from the 'grrrr', she also wins the bedroom wars.She never wins the 'Kitchen Bin War' though.

ION, I have disentangled a whole bunch of wires, cables and assorted stuff. Some date back a good few years and are now relegated to the pile of connections 'we used to use'. How fast connectivity moves on.

I must have a dozen various scart cables that I refuse to throw away. Just in case...

Hmmmm this may be safer than the shotgun approach. Is there any particular radio station that don't like?
In terms of something smelly how about petrol? Most thing don't seem to like have petrol poured on/in them.
It will be if you don't have a license! In terms of something smelly how about petrol? Most thing don't seem to like have petrol poured on/in them.
Erm... Kerrang?

I do, but something tells me hopping around the lawn blasting the ground with a shotgun could be viewed as at the more hazardous end of the spectrum of options I have.
Showing my age hereHe used to drink in my old local. I've served him a few times (along with other famous locals). My mates Dad gave him the idea for that little sketch after hearing him complain about moles in his garden

Was the screen ever sorted out to your satisfaction?
Not to my satisfaction, no (said Mick Jagger). Marks on the dashtop and a tiny, tiny almost imperceptible snick from the edge of the glass in the top rh corner.But it does have a new screen and according to the dotgov website, a new MOT too. So at least I can drive the thing again.
