Freeze it.
Agree with the contemporary magazine banter except SC as I’ve never seen a copy.
Got to say Closer is pretty much the gold standard for new magazines. The asking price is its only pitfall. I shall miss it sorely when my membership runs out.
oh, hadn’t even thought of that, seen those kits but not sure i’d be able to do the hot pipe. hmmm, nice one, gonna look into this.
I do have Jim’s number Beef, nice one.

Going to be honest, id just phone Jim.
With no stopcock theres potential to get very, very wet lol. Let his insurance cover it lol.
Those freeze kits are brilliant but by the time youve got your hands on one you might as well just pay a plumber 
It’s spurred the bigger job of the entire Bathroom I guess. Trouble is, it’s damp across that wall so needs some real thought. But yeah maybe plumber help even to just replace the stop tap.

I’m mid bathroom Reno and we have a mouse in the flat somewhere, the dog seems to think it’s in the drain behind the toilet so scratched at it last night until she pulled away the mortar exposing the shit pipe to have been cut too short where to joins the drain and the mortar was the only thing keeping it all flowing without leaks. I’ve now got to spend my morning pulling out the only part of the bathroom I wasn’t planning on touching and dealing with 130 year old sewers. Joy.

Urgh! We had a mouse move into our kitchen a while ago. I tried loads of different humane traps, but the little guy was too clever for them! What worked in the end was one of those plug in ultrasonic mouse deterrents.
Yea I was thinking of trying one of those, we’ve deep cleaned everywhere and there’s no food at all not in a container but it still seems to be lurking.
Job has ended as a cleaner but at least I no longer have to go in and be shouted at. Maybe stoked actually.

Mice aren’t that hard to catch by hand. My cats bring me some all the time, they bring them alive as they’re presents for me, in their minds (I feed them, they love me, they want to feed me). I can usually rescue them. They can run quick but they also freeze when they’re super scared and then it’s easier to catch them. They sometimes bite but nothing will happen to you if they do.
Got a new fridge last week, found dead mice under the old one, some of them looked like fucking mummies. Poor guys, dying so close to loads of cheese, damn.

That’d be straight on the socials and local groups if it were me. Horrid lazy Michael Fabricant.
There’s a street I usually take a detour down into town and there’s a particular stretch that’s literally a shit obstacle course. That happens to be beside the side entrance of a school. I’m certain it’s the same dog owner makes my blood boil.
