Mugwump

[Fatoomfsh]

I have a mugwump that lives under my bed and as a result i have to have my bed near the light switch so that i can jump onto my bed as the lights go out. Anyone else have this problem?

I have to sprint to my bed as I haven't got the socket near it. I swear blind the blighter got me one day..I have the marks on my ankle to prove it.

[Fatoomfsh]

Sense of humour??? I was deadly serious.

I find treacle toffee can often distract them and you're less likely to get your ankles nipped 'cos their teeth jam together.

ps Thorntons is best

[turboped]

I don't have this problem because I'm not barking mad.

[loopyc]

you dont have to mad to have a mugwump just special.

[turboped]

Okaaaay substitute mad for 'special'.

I used to have this problem and I thought long and hard about a sensible solution - I came to the decision that I could:-

* move house and not tell the mugwump (so as to leave it behind) or

* relocate the light switch (an electricky engineer would have to become involved then) or

* build the mugwump its own home in another part of my house (in other words evict it from under my bed)

I decided on the third option, which I thought would give me the freedom to choose where I wanted my bed in the future. It cost me an awful lot of jam sandwiches and I had to listen to PJ Proby records for months :(

What is a mugwump.................very confused!?

[Fatoomfsh]

Katy loo....a mugwump is similar to a bunyip. It has 4 legs like most animals, the 2 legs on the right r shorter than the legs on the left so it can run around the side of mountains unlike the bunyip which is the opposite. Hence why u never see mugwump or bunyii running around next to eachother. hope that answered your question.

[Fatoomfsh]

And yes, the plural of bunyip is bunyii.

[SCHUMI]

never had a mugwump but i was infested with some rather hairy and ferocious haggis once.a ****** to get rid of.took weeks of playing videos of family fortunes to scare them away

[Dizzieblonde]

Throw it some food - raw meat, livestock, small children etc. - then leg it into bed as quick as you can.

The Mugwump can't hurt you if you cover yourself entirely in the duvet and just breath through a little gap. Be sure to cover your feet too though.

[whiffey]

haggis live in tins. The only tins on the planet which you have to open at BOTH ENDS. English tins, Welsh tins even, are sensible, you open one end and pour the stuff out. Not Scottish tins oh no, the noo. Open both ends, get a fork and push the haggis oot. You will cut your fingers to ******* in the process, but what the heck.

[Fatoomfsh]

hahahahahaha dizzy....breathing thru a tiny gap. Brought back memories :)
