Attack of the Giant Slugs
Forget flying slugs, I don’t have a big enough catapult to sling the new wave of giant gastropods. (Yes, yes, I know, that picture was actually a trebuchet not a catapult)
So to answer the question… Is the UK facing a slug plague? Yes. But more importantly than that take a look at the SIZE of this bastard next to Becky’s car!
And as for people finding this blog with the phrase “why do slugs come in the house”, well that’s a good question… ‘cos just after finding the gigantic slug next to Becky’s Mini I went to get the milk from the fridge for a cup of tea and found a snail on the fridge door!
so rather than “why do slugs come in the house” more to the point is “how do snails get in the house?”… This snail must have sneaked through the cat flap…
Anyway, don’t tell Becky about the snail on the fridge door, she doesn’t know 
Oh, and Happy Birthday to my blog, 3 years old today 
Happy birthday to you(r blog)!
Q:Why do slugs come in the house?
A:In our case (we don’t have a catflap) they are usually stuck to Raku who doesn’t like them one bit.
BulbBoy: LMAO
Holy cow… snails stuck to your cat? Poor bugger! LOL
Happy blogday to you….
Slugs. Hmm. I used to get slugs in my bedroom (it was an extension on the original house, and the damp course never really worked) and “slugs ate my homework” was always a winner at school.
Excuse me, but those things make me sick…
Mummy/Crit: Cheers mate
LOL slugs in the bedroom huh? Yeah, I can see that being a problem. The excuse is an absolute classic though
Rhea: What Minis or slugs make you sick?
Or both? 
I happen to be a big fan of snails, and I kind of like slugs too. Except the last time I picked up a slug it took me about 7 hand washes to get all the slime off me. That stuff is vicious.
Happy blogiversary! If I didn’t move around so much, I’d be approaching that as well.
Kat E: Me too. Last time I walked home from the pub on a rainy night I cleared all of the path for 3 miles home of snails before anyone else could tread on them
As for your 7 washes… Ooh *wince*
tesco: Cheers mate
Yeah, I think you’ve settled at last though… many more years of blankforever.com I can see 
ahem! I can’t BELIEVE you kept that snail secret from me, bad boy! And, I REALLY don’t fancy the slugs, so that’s my official excuse for never taking out the compost.
XO
My BBFK: LMAO Well, my lure worked… you came back to Blogland, I knew you couldn’t resist
I don’t know which part of the kitchen that snail crawled to next, though…
well happy birthday lever’s blog and ewwwwwww. slugs. gross.
Rebekah: My blog says thanks
And what’s wrong with slugs? They taste great in a salad
youre welcome, lever’s blog.
and ..
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
tell that woman of yours she ain’t raising you right!
I’ll keep quiet about snail on the fridge door.
Happy 3 years!
Tawcan: Thanks dude, I knew you’d help me out
Yeah, cheers, it’s flown by…
I once found a baby slug in a bag of prepackaged salad. Just sayin’.
All you gots to do is throw some salt on them slugs and watch em squirm! Ha ha … and happy blogiversary
Kat E: LOL That’s superb. Did you let ir “run free” again?
Funny you should say that… I was in Farnborough KFC one day many moons ago and a guy walked in and said “Here, i just found greenfly on my salad” to which the staff said “We’ll get you another one”… “Nah” said the geezer “I just wanted to let you know” and walked out LOL
Piniyini: Oh THERE you are! We thought you’d been lynched by Boba after wiping all the tunes off her iPod
Thanks dude, your own blogiversary can’t be too far away…
Happy Birthday blog!
I decided to take action against the gastropods in my manor, good vegetarian that I am, after a snail turned up behind the magazine rack. So I surrounded my house with slug pellets. SO NOW I have a house surrounded with dead, dying and decomposing slugs and snails, all attended by about frothy three thousand flies and their fat wasp mates. No sign of the bastards in my living room though
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAwesome NIN gig on Tuesday, by the way.
frothy? goodness not blogging has damaged my typing skills. I meant to say FORTY three thousand flies. Frothy flies does NOT bear thinking about.
Mimey: Blog says ta
Blimey Mimey! NiN gig at the civic right? Could have had tickets for that but didn’t fancy the drive… so what did they play, aye?
And frothy thousand? What were you thinking? LOL

I totally remember the slug catapult! That’s means we’ve been internet/blog friends since 2004?! Holy crap. Where does the time go…
“Why do slugs come in the house?”, you ask? I don’t know about those crazy orange trimmed UK slugs, but the California slugs like to sneak into my office on our boxes. Then they leave their little slug trail all over the mail and then die. I bet slugging across carpet is quite tiresome. They never learn…
too lazy to log in: I know what you mean…
Cheers for that, I see it’s a long’un but a good’un, so I’ll check that a bit later. Ta
Vicious Summer: Yep, 3 long years; it was your bro that got me into blogging and we all seemed to start at the same time
Slugs on boxes? Makes me wonder what UPS stands for
So what do you do with the slug leftovers might I ask? 
UPS = Uber Powered Slugs.
Oddly enough, slug corpses have never been found. Monkey probably eats them…
Bulbboy: LOL
Vicious Summer: Yuk!
