I thought they _died_ in your nightie...




It was severly dehydrated, and probably would have died. I doubt being
propelled through the air would have improved its condition, so it may
now be dead .. or beaked.

Talking of slugs - I have decided to try alternatives to blue things.

I bought a slug trap from Lakeland - popped the beer in - and caught twenty one
of the little blighters last night. I had previously used beer in containers
and they became quite messy - but the beer trap is looking promising and much
cleaner.

Could beer attract more slugs than it kills?

Not if you provide enough beer.


But what I want to know is can you drink the beer afterwards?

The big question, though, is whether the beer kills the slugs. the
slugs drown in the beer rather than be killed by it, or do they simply
commit suicide while happy because they're fed up with their normal
diet and depressed because they're homeless?

They're not homeless, Jake, they live in my nightie.

along with the almighty?



If they shared quarters with the Almighty, I doubt they'd be depressed.
I suspect you're referring to their collective demise, in which case
you'll find them with the Devil. There are no slugs in the Garden of
Eden.

I was referring to Roger the lodger.



Ah yes. Roger was evicted for creeping up the landlady's nightie. He
won't be back!
