top scientist M Ping writes... lab tests show monkeys love crack more than any other drug and get off on it squirrels and monkeys like climbing trees so yes, squirrels will get off on crack
seems like it's a big day for wild squirrels. whilst clearing my inbox at work i found this: spelling and grammar failures Trainee Manager's own.
I looked out the kitchen window earlier and saw one in the back garden feasting on the contents of my next-door-neighbour's ashtray
And it still continues.... From yesterday's Observer, after an absence from the media of a year: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/oct/19/red-squirrels-protection
from your link 'We only call ourselves the Red Squirrel Protection Partnership because if we called it the Grey Squirrel Annihilation League people might be a bit less sympathetic,' Redesdale announces, chuckling. 'But we do nothing with red squirrels apart from save them by killing grey squirrels!' In the two years of their existence, Redesdale and Parker have been remarkably successful. While other conservation groups go in for education or re-habitation, they favour genocide. With a recruited army of 900 volunteers - grannies and game wardens, families and farmers - they have slaughtered 19,500 grey squirrels in the past 18 months and claim to have cleared England's northernmost county of the rodent. The grannies, Redesdale suggests, tend to be the most bloodthirsty trappers. 'It's like: "Can you beat it to death with a hammer and let me watch?" We had one old dear who went inside and came back out with a sort of elephant gun: "Do you want to shoot it with this?"'
I've seen squirrels in camden eat tiny mushrooms growing in a church garden and then behaving in a delinquent way afterwards. One had a huge conker and had it's mouth wide open and biting the conker and its paws wrapped around the conker as far as they would go. The conker was far too big for it to carry but it stayed there wild-eyed and excited and refused to drop the conker even when I got very close. Eventually, when I was almost touching it, it tried to run up a tree but then fell down again as if drunk.

How can we attract this squirrel extermination squad to S London? I can't leave my door open in summer because the nasty aggressive greedy little bastards come in and nick food, I am sure they are responsible for the demise of sparrows - and I remember sweet little red sqirrels in my garden as a child, waaaaah!
Entirely wrong, Squirrels and Sparras are mates!!! We have loads o sparratroopers - cos thats wot they look like as they pour down from their HedgeQuarters to raid the ground feeding trays We get loads of Squirrels too, they never bother the sparras As for them raiding yer dinner, well I never leave my eats lying about long enough - if they want to try biting out from my gut, they can have a go - but ours run off when you get close Yours sound like they may be Crack Fiends as yer average tree rat has more sense than to take on something the size of a human - you should get one of these Norwegian Forrest Cat Skogkatter Will put paid to the pesky drug deranged squirrels for sure
an admirable use of the word heebeegeebee's and this made me laugh out loud don't know *what* you mean :whistles innocently:
