3 things

Cat proudly bought a mouse into the house and promptly lost it... cat is staring forlornly at curtain where 'Jerry' was last seen running up.

Email a digitally signed PDF bank mandate form to a legal dept - nope won't accept it
Print out and post document above doc - won't accept that either
Print out, manually sign and post document won't accept that either as they say it doesn't look as if it has been physically signed.
Fax the original digitally signed document using iPhone with fax app - Kafkaesque legal dept says that's fine!

Clean forgot to book a cricket pitch for this evening's first home game of the season - 22 players not impressed by postponement - Should I invent story about a suspicious mobile phone and security breach (seems semi-plausible) to detract blame or would I be digging a hole for myself...

Mine was due in January, but I was too busy, so it's just been left.
If they've got anything to tell me they can just tell me.

It keeps happening in our house. Our big cat will bring a mouse in and just drop it. It scares the dog and sets the whole house in turmoil. The other cats are too stupid to catch it but they show great interest. We have gotten really good at the mouse rodeo. The wife and I arm ourselves with fly swatters and I get a small bin. We use the fly swatters to herd the mouse into the bin so we can deposit him/her outside. Sometimes it takes a bit of detective work to figure out which piece of furniture he is hiding behind. Once caught, I have taken to giving them stern lectures about the dangers of cats and the stupidity of getting caught.

The first night I was running around in my underwear doing this. The only thing that would have made it more comical is if it had been a bat!

Least you think me kindhearted, I assure you that the swatter/bucket method beats deposing of a smacked and flat mouse. A live capture beats destroyed computer wiring and broken power strips.
