Got our new pet rats yesterday - Sosage and Snuffleupagus. Haven't really taken any pics yet as we want to leave them to settle in, but I'm gonna try and get some over the next few days. They're very cute.

Girls or boys? I had boys before but if I get more I think I might go for girls - unless there's a reason not to. Do you know of any?

Chris Moyles is trending in the UK on Twitter. Perhaps because of the Professor Green rant?

They're boys. I *think* girls are more inclined to fight each other, altho I'm not entirely sure on that. When i had two female gerbils they had a sudden, massive falling out for some reason I couldn't fathom, and I had to separate them. Could never put them back together after that. It was a pain.

Not being up on the old Twitter thing, what is "trending" in Twitter's terms?

[Latina]

When a phrase is "trending" on Twitter it means that the phrase is amongst the most tweeted phrases at that time - there is a top ten list always showing this.

Confusingly though, they changed it recently so that it means a phrase is suddenly being tweeted a lot more than it was before - i.e. most breaking instead of most popular. Allegedly Twitter did that because the phrase "Justin Bieber" had been trending for several weeks running and people got sick of it.

[Johnny 1989]

Ah ok, I understand now, I'll have to listen back to today's show.

[Nicola_Red]

Here are the new additions:

Sosage



and Snuffle (Dan's holding him quite tight cos he's a wriggly little bugger)

[Yudster]

Sosage is a lovely colour. They are gorgeous. I think I might get some.

[John22]

I always hate the poor stereotypes that surround these lovely animals, especially the ones kept as pets.

[catherine]

But they stink! My step sister used to have them and they smell, you could clean them out everyday and they still smell and stink the room out.

But the ones that are not kept as pets are disgusting.

No more disgusting than squirrells or pigeons - pigeons carry more nasty diseases than rats or squirrells in fact. What exactly is it about them that's so disgusting, given that they are a wild animal and if you don't give them reason to pay you attention, they'll leave you alone?

Still, theres comedy to be had out of the little *:

Ooh, rat debate! I know some people don't like them, and I'm fine with that. I love them. Perhaps they do smell and Dan and I are immune to it, who can say.

[Yudster]

I don't remember mine smelling, but I was pretty careful about keeping them clean because I had been led to expect that they would smell if I didn't.

All animals are disgusting as pets. True fact.

[dimtimjim]

YEAH! Boys weekend on the boat this weekend. Early bath from work (will prob finish at 1100), back to Lesta to pick up lads and go shopping (adsa price, innit) then a slow paced weekend drifting around the Midlands canal systems. Will prob be in the Notts area if you wanna give us a wave! Can't wait, so excited!

[Latina]

Ah ok, I understand now, I'll have to listen back to today's show.

And now "Bubsy" is trending.

[chrysostom]

just found out that my dad has been banned from wearing long sleeves, and ties at his surgery due to them posing a health risk.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I heard somewhere that ties were one of the worst things for germs - is this an urban myth?

[Jill]

Going for a pub lunch and seeing Toy Story 3 tonight!

given they've been banned from around my dad's neck : i think not!
