It's bad enough coming across slugs in your garden or annhilating them with a flymo or strimmer - they make such a mess, but it is quite another thing when you find the damn things in your kitchen! The problem stems from the fact that they are attracted by the warmth and tend to find any which way into your property. I finally found out where they were coming in from - a disused sink/drain adjoining the main one. Slug pellets are for the garden - not for the house. The answer? Common dishwasher salt. Put round the edge of the sink or along the lower wall they can go no further. The nanosecond they come into contact with salt they retreat full speed - it's like salt on a leech - they disolve. I saved the lives of about eight of them - I hate slugs, but they are still God's creatures, by lifting them in to a tissue paper and disposing of them out on the front lawn never to be seen again. I them left the salt in situ - no further signs so I just poured it away with boiling water. The house is now totally slug free. If you're growing plants in the spring they'll attack anything with a vengeance. Don't waste your money on slug pellets where there is a real danger of them being eaten by cats or hedgehogs but instead partially bury a saucer of beer - it attracts them and they drown in it.

You know what bothers me................Heaven being such an easy and likeable place to be in, everything is going to survive there; Slugs, Spiders, Snakes, Sharks, etc.etc. etc. Now Hell, on the other hand, is going to be devoid of those irksome things and what with the weather being so Hot............it's beginning to look like a rather attractive proposition. Ok, I'll miss out on the 70 virgins; but I'm not sure I could stand the pace and anyway, I rather keep my Credit Card intact.

You talk of the seventy virgin brides - what about the martyr who took out a load of soldiers when blowing himself up? When his God praised him and presented him with his seventy virgin brides, what did he say?

"Ooh, Thweetie, have I got news for you! ..."

There are still over 100 million people, on this Planet, who believe in Father Christmas & Tooth Faries ( mostly under 5 years old ) and a whole lot more; who still think there's a Pot of Gold at the end of every rainbow....................if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.
