This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Vicious Russian squirrels
|
I’m not at all sure that I believe this but the BBC1 has a story about a gang of squirrels attacking a barking dog, killing it and running off with bits of its flesh2.
The incident is said to have happened in the village of Lazo in the far east of Russia near to the border with China. Some of the locals are blaming the attack on a shortage of pine cones. Scientists are said to be sceptical although whether they doubt the entire story or just the shortage of pine cones explanation isn’t entirely clear.
I think I’d best keep a wary eye on the squirrels in the parks on my way to work. The dogs are bad but the idea of being knocked off my bike by a hoard of rampaging squirrels just doesn’t bear thinking about — the insurance company would probably never believe me for one thing.
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
