I've just come back to my university flat after spending christmas away. Settled in front of the telly, and a big fuck off rat runs past my feet.

I have never run so fast in my life! Now im locked in my room! I daren't come out!

To top it off im desperate for the loo! :shocking:

    You sure it wasn't a mouse? We had a mouse last year and it was quite cute! It would never come out to say hello though. I wanted to be friends :(

    I'd imagine it was a mouse, rather than a rat, tbh. We used to get mice in our flat. The people downstairs were right messy people, dirty kitchen etc and the mice used to pop upstairs to see us. One ended up dying underneath the fridge and it stank :(

    That reminds me of a couple of kids in boarding school. They said they caught a rat in a bin liner and played cricket - with the rat as a ball. :yuck:

    I never actually believed them though.

    I would have phoned the landlord straight off. I found a rat in my basement in my shared house last year, he was there to sort it within an hour. It was already dead though :chin:

    I've personally smashed the heads in of two mice and a bird, once the cat has half killed them you've got to finish them off.

    Last week, I heard that the rat population in this country is rocketing, thanks to the fact rubbish isn't being collected weekly in some areas of the country. In London for example, you're never more than a few metres away from a rat. Unless you live in the Westminster area - that place is inhabited with vermin...

    Poor at best. Must try harder.

    Couldn't ring them straight away as it was too late. Plus i never had any money for the phone! My mate rang them this morning, and they said they'd send someone out within the next day or so. I cant believe it... Thought they'd be round straight away?

    I didn't realise but they said to get rid of any plastic bags we have, as they steal them to nestle in! I didn't know that! :chin:

    No idea about the spelling (take French) but oh, the joys of our first German classes! We had to perform this as well - one was the old lady, one had to be the innocent gardener and the other the maid. :thumb:

    Apparently not. You can get devices fitted to your toilets to stop them doing it. I think they can hold their breath for a fair while, rodents (I believe, since the beaver is one) are often good swimmers.
