Standing in Sainsburys checkout queue this afternoon and listening to the conversation going on behind me between two women.
Woman no 1: "Have you seen the price of dogmeat in here? I'm glad I don't have my dog anymore".
Woman no 2: "I thought you still had your dog. where is it?"
Woman no 1: "Dead, never mind he was 11 and when i look at the price of the dogmeat in here i think just as well cos i would never cope on my pension."
Woman no 2: "So you won't be getting another then?"
Woman no 1: "No, I have my rat now."
Woman no 2: "Cat , awwwwwww that's sweet, is it just a kitten?"
Woman no 1: "No i said rat. I keep it in a cage in my bedroom, what a wonderful pet he is. There's not a more loyal and faithful pet you can get. When I go out he sits on the window sill watching for me to come back."
Woman no 2: "Doesn't he smell?"
Woman no 1: "No and he has never bit me. On a night he sits on my knee to watch tv and i give him biscuits."
Thankfully at this point in the conversation it was my turn to get checked out so i suffered no more.

I think rats are kinda cute. I'd keep one. If my girlfriend had one, (whoever the next miss Bounty is), I could say "get your rat out" without being slapped!

Well, I would not exactly go out and trap a wild rat, but domestic rats do make fantastic pets. They are very clean, very intelligent and very affectionate.
-
Bounty how often do you say "get your rat out" to a girl and not get a puzzled look?
-
Do you know what it means? It could be a Nottingham expression.
-
I think we can guess...
-
Does it mean get your cash out?

Erm, no. Think of large buck-tooth animals that cut down trees.
