Are those the terrible grey american squirrels? The ones that were introduced into England and have nearly replaced the native red squirrel in England (not Scotland and Wales and so on, though)?

Those squirrels are KILLERS! (like the Kyrandian ones)

One once bit my sister, when she was feeding them.


Also, we saw a statue that looked like a giant squirrel in one of the parks of London (Hyde Park or Regents Park. I am pretty sure it was Regents Park).
The Londoners (and probably pilgrims from all over England) must have set it there to give offerings to the great grey squirrel god, in an attempt to get him in a good mood (so that he doesn't end up eating the person who does the offerings, and their family).

Err, yeah, they're grey. :eek: I never found out first hand that they were dangerous though, cause my instinct told me to stay away. I really should get that cat to protect me.

I think we've also got some red squirells on the east coast.

I thought all squirells were greyish brown until I went to Canada and saw black ones. A now I'm hearing about red squirells for the first time.

Oh, and I think it's time to update the last part of your sig, Jaz.

Well, of course there are red squirrels. They are really cute, and not at all nasty (well, except for their language. I think all kinds of squirrels are awfully good at cussing and cursing )

Red Squirrel

Some nice Pictures of the Red Squirrel



In Summer


In Winter


And again in Winter

Oh, but I can't do anything about it! I'm a squirrel! I've got to hoard everything!


And my room is NOT messy.

Hey, lay off Jazy, I don't think her room is all that messy. You haven't seen messy unless you have seen my place. I have five book cases but still ran out of place to put my books a long time ago so I've got books stacked everywhere, by my desk, in my bedroom etc. You have no right to to call us pigs just because we are not as anal as you.

HA! Your mom would probably have a triple coronary if she saw your place right now! You probably need a GPS device thingy to find your way through your room.






Um, 'scuse me while I gather up the laundry off my floor.

MY Mama considers my room VERY tidy right now. And she rarely does that. In fact, before last (17th February) thursday, she was urging me to tidy my room. Now she has stopped, because I spent February 17th (Thursday) and 18th (Friday) cleaning up my room. And I succeeded.


So, go and get your dirty laundry washed.

...she has given up. A basic requirement for a tidy room is that things are somehow remotely organized and neat. In your room it looks like someone came there and searched the whole room, looking for something in a hurry.

Actually I love a bit of clutter in a room, it imparts character. But yeah, there is a difference between clutter and post-tornado effect.

Hehe, here's a closer look just to tease you.



I bought these on Ebay, by the way. I had to look hard for that WCIV box.

You don't know my mother. She's stubborn. She NEVER gives up.

Is that a thin cardboard version of "The Longest Journey"? One that is actually a folded cardboard sheath with latches?

*laughs*

I have a hard box version. No, I actually have TWO hard box versions.

*likes to mock the EvilErwin*
