Squirrels on my bird feeders. Until now.

I have built a deluge system that will soak the little fkers. They learn quick and won't be back once they know what to expect.

(For "deluge system" read "hose fixed in tree").

A Toaster with a spring too strong that it chucks the toast out onto the floor.

Ours does that sometimes, but manages to send it behind the toaster. If you're not paying attention when it pops out, you do wonder for a minute if you actually put any bread in the toaster laugh

It's possible she's as tired of him as we all are.

Wouldn't some peanuts on the ground for them be easier? Granted, not as much fun. smile

You'll be toast if you're not careful.

This sort of stuff annoys me beyond reason.
Vegetable spring rolls contain vegetables. Duck spring rolls contain duck. A no duck spring roll contains vegetables so just call it a vegetable spring roll.
Notice the price, if they say it contains no duck they can charge the same as one that does contains duck rolleyes.


If I am searching for Duck I don't want to see items that don't contain duck, I don't think thats too much to ask. And before anyone gets clever it does bring up the toilet duck products but duck is part of the name.

The 2 vegetable spring rolls are different products, so maybe 1 is more costly to produce hence the extra cost. Or maybe not and it's a marketing thing.

It should be called "vegetable and jackfruit spring rolls". If I bought "vegetable spring rolls" and they contained jackfruit I'd be pissed off. smile

Perfect name, it doesn't have to say what it does not contain. Although I accept "contains no additives" on some products.
