The official charts company say it's Kid Rock, unfortunately...

oh balls

Actually I think they simply hadn't updated the one I was looking at, but I was remaining hopeful

It's okay, your rants on both were equally cathartic, I'm sure

Yes, I reckon I've made a real difference too.

hello!

kid rock's a bit crap isn't he

is it him who's doing the motivational speaker thing alex

or is that andrew wk?

check out that youtube

i tend to confuse them

oh yes a youtube link

AWK is no kid rock

and yes it is him who is doing the speaking

I'm looking forward to being motivated by him

Kid Rock couldn't motivate a gerbil

ugh night vision camera

whereas you could?

Andrew WK could

depends what you're motivating it to do

he could make a gerbil believe it could be president one day

omething like that

knaw its own behind

is very uplifting

gnaw

it appears to be quite easy to motivate a hamster to use a lego lift, for instance:

yes, but gerbil's are notoriously apathetic

oh i mean

mean behaviour

hamster-baiting

gerbils are not apathetic, i learnt the hard way when i brought a pair

i dont mean a pair of balls btw, gerbils i mean

well maybe your motivational skills are akin to Mr WK's

I've never motivated a gerbil, so I wouldn't know

you cant even give them a running wheel, they just demolish it with their teeth

overall i would not recommend them as a household pet, the only advantage they have over a hamster is that you can keep two in the same cage

but all that amounts to is double the nocturnal chewing shenagins

swings and roundabouts innit

aah, so two hamsters won't live happily together?

that's useful to know

i was considering getting a pair of them or some other sort of houshold rodent only yesterday, in fact

but it has to be a pair, for the purposes of naming them something like 'Thurston and Kim' or 'J and Lou'

so gerbils might be a better bet in that case

'Stephin and Claudia' might also be good. Or 'Aidan and Malcolm'

I've clearly been thinking far too much about pet-naming strategies

yeah even though its pretty likely if you put two matured hamsters in one cage they will end up fighting to the death. gerbils on the other hand get on fine, but they get very energetic and loud come nightime...

how many indie pixies have pets called carl and pete? im willing to bet its quite a few

and that pete gerbil keeps stealing all carl gerbil's newspaper

and shitting on himself

its only syrian hamsters that you cant keep together btw. get a dwarf or a chinese or a russian. Theyre smaller and shitter, but dont kill eachother
