I think I've got a CRICKET behind my fridge

Still there. Still chirping.

I've decided to call him Albert. I talk to him at night when I visit the fridge for a top-up.

I have absolutely no idea.
Regular as clockwork though, when darkness falls, Albert kicks off. And he's still chirping when I climb those wooden hills (luckily I can't hear him from upstairs though).

I'm actually growing rather fond of it.
Its a little like being in the video to "Club Tropicana" (if you've ever heard the opening to that classic track, before that irresistable funk baseline fades in and grows). As I saunter up to the fridge for a Coke to put in my Bacardi, I can't help but swing my hips a little to the calypso beat....

Let me take you to a place
Where memberships a smiling face
Brushing shoulders with the staaaaaaaars

Albert brings a lovely summer atmosphere to my kitchen.

See this would be my feeling too. Should I ever find myself in the fortunate position of having my own Albert, I'd embrace him as one of my own. However, perhaps what I was getting at, is presumably you have a FAMILY who may not be quite as idiotic as you or I?:smile:

Well...the missus is getting thoroughly fed up with him. She was blindly jiggling a yardstick around the edges of the fridge the other day in a futile effort to squash or dislodge him, but Albert is too smart for that, he's clearly right round the back somewhere.

I just have no idea what he is living off though. If I knew, I wouldn't be adverse to secretly feeding him now and then. I can hear him as I type, and it makes me feel like I'm abroad on my holibobs.

Did you ever figure out how to remove it or are you still feeding it?

We have a single one under the fridge that hasn't starved in months. I also have no idea how it is surviving without ever coming out.

He either moved on, or perished. We replaced that fridge around 5-6 years ago and I do not recall seeing his corpse.

I miss him.

He just left ? No thanks or anything?
Gryllidaes are the rudest of insects aren’t they ?
