Meet jake, our lovely neighbourhood squirrel who has been in this tree since 6.30 am.
Wwyd?! I'm not sure ringing rspca or fire brigade is the answer.
We have 3 cats, but have kept them in, in hope he makes a bid for freedom!

She got Squirrel Rage, a lesser form of road rage. I dread to imagine what she'd have been like if a squirrel drove like a twat in front of her. I think her head might have exploded.

It's a shame it's gone, Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall has a recipe for squirrel stew.

When asked to do something which I know can't be done I will now just nod my head and say ' well, you can't jet wash a squirrel you know'Grin

Is this some really painful attempt to get into Classics? Hmm

NeedACleverNN · 31/05/2016 14:55

I just love how all the way through the OP thinks she is completely sane and WE are the weird ones for not caring about the poor old squirrel

Flumpsnlumpsnstuff · 31/05/2016 15:40

I vote for 'you can't jet wash a squirrel ' to go in classics Grin

frankie001 · 31/05/2016 16:59

Agree, this should be in classics. And we need a squirrel emoji.

Due to popular demand, we are moving this 'un to Classics. Grin

We definitely need a squirrel emoji. All is quiet here without jake, my life feels a little empty without his rat like features!

I think it's natural to be concerned. Don't know if any of you folk ever saw a real squirrel but we see them all the time and they move. Constantly. So I would be worried that it had been mauled or poisoned and was frightened. They never stay still so something is amiss.

exWifebeginsat40 · 04/06/2016 23:42

no, stmargs nobody except you has ever seen a REAL squirrel. round here it's all grown men in squirrel suits falling out of trees.

GlitteryFluff · 05/06/2016 00:03

Oh this thread has been a funny one!

katek · 05/06/2016 13:12

Saw this headline and sneaked in from the other place! Loved it...."you can't jet wash a squirrel!" Still laughing. Glad it all ended well or poor Jake might have been propelled at 170 psi across the garden.......RIP Jake.

ElornaElephant · 14/06/2016 17:51

I am pissing myself at "you can't jetwash a squirrel" Grin

alsmutko · 21/08/2016 13:49

I hope someone uses youcantjetwasasquirrel as their username. If I wasn't so fond of old Al I would name change.

Here's the King of Our Street......watch how he struts his stuff whilst he screams obscenities at the cats and foxes Grin
