what am I gonna do? is the track that has been on repeat in the mental jukebox this week*. Well not actually in my kitchen but in the dustbin (US: trash can) where it had been for a week or so. I've no idea how it got in but the plastic sides were so smooth that it couldn't get out again. By the time I found it, it was an ex-rat, it had squeaked its last. So I bagged it up with the other domestic rubbish and it is now gone but the song remains...
* Rat in mi kitchen by UB40
Funny. How convenient for him to expire in the trash (oh and thanks for the translation!). Aren't you glad you didn't have to kill the little rodent yourself! P.S. I'm quite envious of your adorable house (s). Spent a a couple of days in Chipping Campden. It truly left a hole in my heart when we left. :-(
ReplyDeleteLove UB40--a little reminiscent of the English Beat and then General Public. I miss them--boo hiss on break ups. Saw GP at a little college auditorium in DC once. They were so great.
funnily enough i have a rodent story too, although it's more mouse than rat, ub40's music helped a lot

I love the song too and I loved your charming tale. If only the link you kindly provided had worked (without having to buy realplayer) I could listen to it but many thanks for your efforts nonetheless... cheers pal
