I still say that hawkinspeter has a very worrying collection of squirrel pictures...  Are they photos from life? 

Where else would they be from?

Them squirrels look organised. First they came for the red squirrels....

 

Are we we absolutely sure they're on our side??

I've brokered a deal and they'll help protect the woodlands (for now, anyway).

There's a pretty easy way to stop this sort of thing.    Whenever piano wire is strung across a track or nails left like this, then the next day, a paving stone is dropped off of a random motorway flyover, onto the carriageway below.  

10/10 for enthusiasm, but I just feel that there's more sensible and targetted ways of addressing these problems.

Is it guns? Should we start carrying guns? We could pop a cap in the asses of those responsible, couldn't we? And everyone would be safe then.

Squirrels with knives.

That is all.

I need evidence, or they don't exist and we're back to guns.

Except that it wouldn't stop anything, it would merely justify the people putting up the piano wire, so they would do it even more.  Escalation is rarely, if ever, the solution to anything.

Ah, but it wouldn't though, because they wouldn't make the connection between the two events!  Admittedly that would also remove any deterrent effect on the nail-plank-miscreants.

(Also, have you mentioned your point to any world leaders lately?)

Yes, indirectly, through my MP, to whom I made it abundantly clear that there should be no military action in Syria without a vote by parliament.

the only way to stop things like this is to appease the woodland spirits with a human sacrifice.

His Most High Excellency Rinpoche Tulku Archimandrite Presiding Patriarch Suffragan Pandit Emir of the Flatlands Lord Eddy hath commanded that you be the first offering and that we throw you, armed only with a sword, from a random motorway flyover. 

Ce n'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterrissage.

You're just being silly now. woodland spirits won't do shit - you need to direct your sacrifices towards Shub-Niggurath (the black goat of the woods).

Clearly MTBers need to start setting up a little shrine to Her at the start of every trail.

I mean, sure, maybe a MTB rider disappears from time to time, but the protection offered by Her young when properly propitiated would definitely keep off haters with nail boards and fishing wire...

I go with this, I have a low tolerance of wankers too. I mean, they're just wankers.

Agreed, clearly an attempt at terrorism, it seems a repeated effort, so this cowardly nutcase needs to be identified and removed from society asap.
