SupraStar 3000 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 A hedgehog nearly got me arrested once. It's a long story I can't be arsed to go into ATM. I've got a rescue story too about a hedgehog me and my cousin saved from certain doom, but its a bit late now to be going into that I have a story about a hedgehog, nun, a runaway train and a 3 legged elephant but I'll save that for another day! Come on guys, this forum is built on stories and facts. You cant tease us like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 In the early 90's, I was working late one night, getting a load of quotes done. About 3am I ran out of cigarettes so decided to take a break and shoot out to the local all-night shop to get some. En route to the shop, I'd just gone round a few sweeping bends when I saw what looked like a hedgehog in the road. I presumed he'd been hit already and was dead. So I carried on to the shop. On the way back I saw that the hedgepig was now on the other side of the road - he was alive! So I stopped the car and had a look at the little fella. He looked fairly OK apart from a crushed OSF foot. I guessed that has was probably more badly injured than I could tell but hey, he was still alive, so I decided to take him home and and get him looked at by a vet if he survived the night. I picked him up to put him in the car but oh boy did he stink! Absolutely awful smell - so I put him in the boot of my car. I set off for home, driving really slowly so that the little guy didn't get chucked about in the boot. I'm crawling round the sweeping bends at 5-10mph when suddenly a police car appears behind me. I tried to wave them past but they just followed for a minute or two and then tried to pull me over. They put their blue lights on but I decided it wasn't safe to stop and that I'd get out of the bends first and then pull over in a bus stop which I knew was on the straight road ahead. So there we were, having the world's slowest ever police chase. After what seemed like an age we reached the bus stop and I pulled in. Two coppers got out and the one that did all the talking was a right sarky git. "Good evening Mister Mansell, where's the fire?" "What?" "Nevermind. Something wrong with your car?" "No" "Then why are you driving at 5mph and causing a hazard to other road users?" "I'm on a mercy dash" "Are you taking the piss son?" etc ect. Eventually I told them about 'Tripod the Hedgepig'. They had a look at him and then let me go. I put him in a paddling pool in my garage for the night but he was dead in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I put him in a paddling pool in my garage for the night but he was dead in the morning. I would imagine he drowned then, they can't swim at the best of times but with only 3 feet he would have had no chance!! At least you could have put outside your back door and used him as a shoe/boot cleaner.......Sorry!! We have loads of hedgehogs near our house as there are some woods about 150 yards away. I regularly see them scuttling down the street in the dark. My dog used to paw at them but he doesn't seem that interested now. A couple of times I have been home and got a plastic bag to pick them up in and escorted them back to the woods...... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
