Probably been linked to somewhere on here before[^] but today's effort is mighty fine, and links into the thread about the Queen of Canada from earlier in the week.

I believe it was in reference to her business card and it just got complicated. 
There's just something about a queen dressed as cat woman that turns my crank.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Good idea, but I highly dislike this kind of sketching. It looks to me as those cliparts from MSOffice back in Win95 time.

The answer "up my own [REDACTED]" will not help.
I'm looking for a Git repo to store code,designs,docs etc,etc,etc.
I would like to have it [0] private and [1] free. bitbucket.org[^] looks a possibility, any others?

If it works, send it to me.
If it doesn't, make it work, then send it to me.
If you do a really good job, I'll license it back to you.

I can't do that. I made a pact with the Devil to shower me with eternal riches should I sign over the rights to his organisation. Well that's what I thought.
Due to misreading the contract I sold out to Santa and each Christmas I get a bloody box set of bloody Eastenders highlights of bloody Alfie bloody Moon!

I'm clearing out my garage at the moment, could probably find some space for it in there. It's been a few years since we've had any problems with mice in there so it should be safe enough.

How did you get rid of them ?

Get a few rats to eat the mice

I ignored them until they moved somewhere nicer.
This is also the tactic I have used with my next door neighbours who have sold their house this week.

 Same situation here. The house is on sale, but they have bought somewhere else, so should be away quite soon.
As for the mice, I hoped for a good tip, because I cannot seem to get rid of them...

I noticed some chewed stuff one day, some droppings, had a bit of a tentative poke around and couldn't see anything moving around. Cleared out a while later and there was no further sign and I haven't seen anything since.
Sorry.

Huddersfield Town supporters? I am surprised I didn't think they were good at anything, only problem is that an infestation of footy fans from Huddersfield is probably 10000x worse than mice

Mice - cheap, red and white, plastic mousetraps. Available from Amazon.
Smear with crunchy peanut butter.
Wash after use(that's the nice thing - unlike wood, there's no odour of dead mouse so the little suckers fall for it again and again.)
I had a canny House Mouse, a veteran of mouse wars who used to crap on my computer every night. Keyboards. Phone. 'Mouse'. He was troublesome. He visited the trap four times, each time there was less peanut butter. Built up his confidence; when it happened, there was a look of shock frozen in his cold, dead eyes.
After that is was his family of field mice, but they were easy.
Eventually the pregnant mummy mouse had no-one left to forage for her. Clack!
Don't forget to block the entry points with steel wool.

I once had some mice running around the garage. Mousetraps + peanut butter FTW.
(On a side note, they were doing construction in a field about two blocks away, it was surprising to me that little mice would run that far and skip all the other houses between. I suppose it was because, at the time, the gold dog's food would be out in the garage, and mouse #1 told all his buddies).

How about gophers or moles or whatever the little buggers are that are making an underground maze of my entire yard? How did you [not] get rid of them? Or have you? If you did, then give me your solutions. If you did not, then give me ideas for getting rid of them. Just whatever it takes to make them stop digging up the entire back yard -- or if your over the pond -- garden.
Please resolve this soon or the entire thing will just be a mud hole.

My BIL had that problem, and tried everything, including some not-so-nice-to-nature methods. He lost the grass twice, had glass shards rise up in the lawn during six months, burned himself with different stuff, and I could stop him in the end just before he threw a hand-grenade.
Then he gave up.
Three weeks later, the things were gone. True story. I think they were having fun at his attempts and stayed for the entertainment.

That's funny, but not. Because I've tried nothing and they've been here for 3 or 4 months now.
I shall skip directly to the Nuclear Option. Maybe I should rent a Boa Constrictor and just leave it at them for a while? Oh, I should definitely learn Python.

I had success with one of those solar powered sonic spikes you drive into the ground (see below for link). Sure, you really just push the blind hamster-wannabe rodent into the neighbors yard (Two birds...  ), but it worked for me.
Tip: To avoid it also driving your wife away, push it as far into the ground as you can so you barely hear the vibrations when you are standing next to it.
