Well, Oi survived my court appearance to tell the tale, but Oi have to admit that it did not exactly go smoothly! All went well until the time came for Cyril the Squirrel to make his initial submissions to the court. At this point, the University's lawyer kept interrupting and asking him to repeat what he had said. Anyone would think he'd never heard proper legal squeaking before. As you can imagine, Cyril found this very irritating, and after one particularly supercilious interjection, he snapped. He scurried across the floor, ran up the lawyer's trouser leg, hopped onto his bonce and made off with his wig. There was pandemonium in the court, but Cyril combines a quick legal mind with a turn of speed rarely found in County Courts and he was gone before they could catch him.
Things looked a bit bleak for a while, as Oi was now not represented at all. Fortunately, it turned out that the Judge was "fond of squirrels" having been a member of the Tufty Club in his youth. So let me off, but Oi got a stern warning as to moi behaviour in the future.
All's well that ends well, Oi suppose. Cyril is now happily snuggled down in his drey with a new and comfortable mattress, and Oi've gone back to the boy's room. There's one problem that hasn't gone away though - shrews. And for some reason there seems to be more of them than ever. Lots of smaller ones have appeared - what on earth could have caused that?
