Welcome welcome....A bit of advice... Don;t believe any of what these people write and only half of what I manage to type correctly. And, if anyone offers you lemonade or marshmallows, check them carefully. The lemonade may be spiked, but the marshmallows are always very good...

Yes welcome

If one quick dip in the gutter is a lifetime membership, then you'll never get rid of Klinsmann...

In that case, the little kitty that kept climbing in the window the other night when I was in the gutter is also a member.

Just a minute, people - how can Fonque's claim to be posting "left, right and centre" be true when the grand total to date remains at 1? Even with my limited mathematical capability I can see that can only be true for one out of the three claims. Methinks we've been had good and proper!

(If it were true guter matterial of course, it would be both good and IMproper... heh)

Hello! Welcome!

I'd say run for it now while you still have a chance, but it's probably too late...

By the way, here's a helmet for you. To protect you from the crossfire when PSD and Kaz go head-to-head...

Sarah - A flak jacket might be appropriate as well. That crossfire gets a little close to the gutter.

Good idea. Perhaps we should make it standar issue for all new recruits?

Not while I'm here. ;^)

Sarah has now fitted new flea collars to her little darlings. I have now stopped getting those 'midge bites' that were somehow only happening to me at her place. The last of the 'midges' turned up dead at the bottom of Sarah's cereal bowl this morning.

Chomsky, who used to spend entire days without leaving the house - sometimes even the spot - is now a brave new cat who goes out and sees the world, and his coat is showing major signs of improvement. Also he no longer performs his washing routine all day or with gymnastic vulgarity. A fine thing, the cat that spends its' time outdoors. The less I see of him, the more I approve of him.

Cats are unusual in that people love and hate them for the same reasons.

I wouldn't call myself a cat hater, merely a 'oh no here they go on again about cats when I can't see why' hater. After all, I write about them enough. I don't mind other people having cats, I just find it difficult having to co-exist with four of them, whilst at the same time being very glad of the associated facilities.

But if it comes down to being outnumbered, a recent survey showed the cat to be the second most hated animal in Britain. Also they are believed to be a major cause of asthma as a result of innocent asthmatics sitting down at the cinema on seats vacated by cat lovers who have spread their cats' hair to the seat inadvertantly. Even my car is full of cat hair, and they've never been in it.

Your reasons for liking cats are as good as my reasons for disliking them - and many of them are the same reasons!

Thanks for such a warm welcome (I feel all fuzzy).

I have taken everyone's advice on board and am now wearing standard issue bulletproof jacket and helmet for recent fforumites. As per instructions I shall now be avoiding lemonade from now on but indulging in marshmallows.

I can give you a 'The Nextarillion 3' if you want, ScarletBea ---

Ahem. Marshmallows, lingerie, e-delivery of virtual equivalents. This has been a bit of an overnight sensation. So as to avoid unwarranted slights, ladies only. Sorry Fonque, haven't had time to check the clues to see if you are a 8:)3<=, and your profile is vague. Advise please. Marshmallows conditionally waiting.
