That's a completely different tribe of gerbils! They generally work as slyvanian family stand ins!

Although... Some of the lab creations appear to be living with them judging by the things on the floor

To be fair, uncle Dave needs a break from the whiskey so they are doing him a massive favour.

Some of the more drunken gerbils seem to have lost the hair off their tails. So that's where 'rat arsed' comes from.

I've just had a nasty thought about those furry blobs...they'd better not be tribbles, we really don't want those for Xmas.

It's OK, I'm collecting them for disposal removal to the lab.

Lest anyone doubt your androidity [well, humans have humanity, so..] I note, Android, that you posted at 00.00 exactly.🤖

...the very expensive bottles of very old whisky for Uncle Dave ...
What's Uncle Dave doing in the Bluestocking? Shouldn't he be up in the Staunch Ally, leaving all the fine old whiskeys for us Stockingers?

More droppings...

Just had a moment with mr menno love him

Definitely not tribbles. I mean they don't really exist do they!!

I've put two of the "tribbles" in my kitchen.

As you can see no tribbles here! Just fluffy blobs

What the...

Seriously?

@MarieDeGournay That bottle of whisky is just a hidden present for Uncle Dave, isn't it? As in, to be wrapped later & delivered elsewhere.

Panic over. Bluestocking gynaeboundaries safely in place.

😂Nice one.

Oh my God! They're real!!

Anyone want to buy a tribble? On offer:

Buy one get 50000000 free!

OK OK

You can have the first one for free as well.

Pleeeeease!

You need a glommer. Or a fully armed and equipped Klingon hunting squad.

Maybe the glommer would be easier. Just make sure it doesn't think gerbils are tribbles.

Just how bad ARE tribbles?!

Partly depends on how much triticale we have stored in the Bluestocking. But they are born pregnant and eat everything they can find...

They wipe out whole planets, that's why the Klingons went to war on them. Including by bio-engineering the glommers.

Perhaps they could be bioengineering with Tunnocks? We'd have self-perpetuating supplies. Android?

I thought the gerbil WAS Uncle Dave! Naughty gerbils.

Perhaps we should give them a day off sick and ask the hamsters to step in?

Hmmm not sure bioengineering Tunnocks is the best plan for future supplies .... is Android to be trusted with this cunning plan?

So many ways it could go wrong ...

Nah, it'll be fine.

I think we've run out of ice. The hungover gerbils have used it all on their heads. And I've filled one of the bowsers with strong black coffee and another with alka seltzer. I'm not sure it's going to be enough 😕

Send them out for a walk up Peak Woo, Cake, that'll sober them up!

I've had an idea though. What if we soak and freeze the tribbles, then they'll make ice packs. Might even kill the little sods.
