I have a bat living in my wall. It's very annoying.

and there's nothing I can legally do about it. Protected species and all that.

Have you called the Bat Conservation Trust?
They may be able to advise you.

I bumped into my ex on the train the other day. She works for the Bat Conservation Trust thumbsup

If you phone them and get through to her, tell her that I really want her back, and that it'll make my cat happy too :)




Is that irrelevant enough? :D

If you're in a room with at least 22 other people then there's a better than 50:50 chance that two of the people will share a birthday. If there's at least 60 people in the room then the probablility is >99%. :blink:

'tis true

Could win you a lot of money in a pub bet thumbsup

That thing about "more people alive" is scary but true too.

Which is why it's amazing that it only takes 6 connections to link you with anyone else on the planet. Even Kevin Bacon.

but

That's a different problem ;)

It takes about 300 people for the odds to be aprox 50:50 that someone else will share your birthday.

Anyway, as BC says, the weather's nice again. So nice in fact that I've now got ELO's Mr Blue Sky in my head... :D
