Filter cones.

There's a kind of hush all over the tank here as well. I think the squirrels are reconciling themselves to having to wait a while for euro collapse. Or maybe they're becoming hermits.

The squirrels are taking grinds? In Chinese?

I thinks it's German, the language of the new Europe(Fourth Reich). Wrong thread I know, but wouldn't you think that, with all the German expansionist plans and bullying of us, they'd manage to organise the winning of a simple little football game?

Unlike them to take such a short-term view.

They have learned to be subtle. Give a little to gain a lot.

Another clever ruse; you cant bate them boyos.

They ain't the wurst, that is for sure.

Eh Casablanca, what exactly did you do with the GruppenSquirrelFuhrer ?

Very worrying news on the bond yield issue and the whole bank debt relief thing.

Did we jump the gun?

If so, how do we cut our losses - convert to pelts now (and at least save on the maintenance costs) - or have a fire sale and take a haircut? (I have disabled their internet access btw but they seem to be erecting some sort of array made from clothes hangers and they seem to know something is up.)

And it looks like there is no avoiding a serious bath on the voles I piled into last week (just before the last predicted meltdown - a shoeshine guy suggested it)).

It's baffling - all our research and expert opinion on the other threads predicted otherwise?
