When we used to breed ferrets I planned to do this pic 1/6 scale ferret car and put a ferret in it and then see what Google delivered. We don't breed ferrets any more which with this summer's heat we weren't sorry as ferrets don't like hot and all manner of creating shade is necessary. This is AI.

Strange Little Girl - Wikipedia
"Strange Little Girl" is a song by English rock band the Stranglers, originally written in 1974 and re-recorded and released in the UK in 1982 as their last single while signed to Liberty Records (part of EMI). By the time of release, the band had already decided to leave the label for Epic Records, and this last single was part of the severance deal, along with the compilation album, The Collection 1977–1982.
The band revealed that the song had originally been written in 1974 and was submitted to EMI years before the band had a recording contract. EMI had rejected the band on the basis of that demo.[citation needed] "Strange Little Girl" went on to peak at No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1982.[3]
The music video featured the band and a group of girl punks in London. Locations included Liverpool Street, and in and around Cambridge Circus.

The EP was distributed by independent Bomp! Records.
