Hmmm. I told you I'm not violent. I don't usually go around mugging Chelsea Pensioners or anyone else. I could afford to buy a red jacket for whatever good that would do & I don't have enough puff to blow a brass instrument of any description. S'pose I could invite the local hunt round but they never catch anything anyway. Then I would have to fork out for the stirrup cups & whatever else. Probably do more damage than the fox ever did. Any more bright ideas? ::) :)

You could just stick a lifesize cardboard cutout of Mr Fozzer in your garden, that might work :o

That's more like it. ;D Mind you I couldn't afford to feed it & it might eat me when it got hungry. Then there's all that tiger poop to clear up. Not such a good idea methinks.

Have you considered planting a few landmines? That would do the trick.

Now why didn't I think of that? It might just work. Good thinkin' Craig. :D

Just one teeny problem. How do I go about acquiring the aforesaid life-sized cardboard cutout? Do you think they have them on Ebay? ???

That might not be such a good idea now I come to think of it. I have the neighbours & their grandchildren to consider. Far too scary. It would even scare me if I forgot it was there. :o

I suppose it could be considered cruel and unusual punishment under international law? and cruelty to animals according to the RSPCA.

I'm sure you're right. Let me try this electronic gizmo & see how I get on. I can try the other suggestions if that doesn't work. I rather like the idea of landmines. How would I go about procuring some? Nah, forget it. Knowing me I would forget they were there & blow myself into orbit. I prefer it down here.

Once the fox is dealt with I have other problems you might be able to help with. Know anything about ant's nests?

Hmmm. As I remember that fox or coyote whatever it is keeps getting blown up on a regular basis. Then he reappears as large as life the following week. This ACME outfit doesn't fill me with confidence somehow. ::)

Thanks Charlie. Much as would like my own Sea Harrier my garden isn't exactly Shoreham Airport. They would also have to knock my home down to get it in there. ;)
