Ok, so now I have to get a cloth to clean my half-chewed sandwich off my laptop screen.

Is that a flying squirrel? or just a normal one along for the ride.

Had the missus and me in stitches.

Nice one

Looks like an ordinary pest of a squirrel, but they fly, er, plummet, fairly well.  ;)  We had a birdfeeder outside a second story window and occasionally one would try the jump from the nearby roof and miss.  Most of 'em weren't happy about the drop, but none the worse for wear in the long run.

I had a friend with a little flying squirrel once.  It liked to be thrown and would run back to be thrown again and again.  Sort of a self-fetching ball.   :scratch:

Nice one.

Genuine true story, we used to have truck garage and at the rear was a concrete slab where we used to steam clean the trucks for MOT inspection.
This weird widow up the road that backed onto our yard used to take in stray cats and had 1,000's of the bloody things, they used to come over the wall and crap all over where you had to lay when cleaning the trucks.

At the side as a 7 cu yard skip we used to shovel all the crap that came off the vehicles, virtually mud, and we had to pay to get this emptied so when the skip was part full we used to put 4 scaffold poles up in each corner as as it got full fit greedy boards between to get an extra couple of cubic yards on.

One of our customers used to empty it for us when his skip truck was in for service and he'd bring the poles and boards back.

So this day I went outside and there's this massive tom cat, crouched down having a crap in the middle of the yard, totally oblivious to what's going on so I rushed over and grabbed this thing by the scruff of the neck.
Well it didn't like that I'll tell you, spitting and clawing but not managing to get me. So now I have it but what to do with in ? no tubs of water handy and I spot the poles.....................

One handed I went over and pulled an inner tube off the pile of scrap tyres, hooked it over the two front poles, pulled back, inserted cat and as it was about 40 years ago I must have come close to hitting the Appollo launch, I reckon it went over about 4 gardens.
