I learnt the concept of pre-emptive revenge FROM Motley (our 1.5 kilos of destructive force)

It is every cat's right to be a spitting hissing maniac. It is every human's right to live with it, and shower attention on said cat.

Oh no, BK, don't you know that real Aussies hate cats? Just like they hate rabbits and foxes and cane toads and ...

Now she has chewed the infra red sensor which unlocks her cat flap and can't get out.

I will have to go and get a less chewable design

*Sigh*

Especially not pre-emptive revenge. I know that my girlfriend would be horrified at you lot.

oooh Martin's got a girlfriend!
Does that mean you took my advice about the shot of courage?

Excuse me? Did we give you permission to go out and get yourself a girlfriend, Martin? This is dis-GUS-ting!

You better introduce her to us before you marry her.

Be nice you lot....

No need to transfer cat-hating tendencies onto me now.

For what it's worth: Clicky here. I'm on the right.

Is this the same Martin who was mystified, shocked and reduced to 3 word sentences (nicely spotted by Zuki) when we mooted this romance a couple of weeks ago? "Who me?" "We're just friends!" "I hardly know her!"

And he didn't even think to ask our permission after all we've done for him. That's just typical of the younger generation.

Martin,

be vary careful around these girlies. Before you know it you will have commited marriage and from there it is a small step to the patter of tiny paws and the crash of valuable furniture.

Great picture, you both look cool and happy. Which is lovely.

Thank you Ali.

SkidMarks, I'll take the advice to heart.

Kaz: I want to grow my hair for a while. See what it looks like long.

Robert: Different people. Try to keep up.

:) I thought it might have been her: the lovely one in your Hall Ball blog photos - ooh and you had twinkle lights!

<is way too excited about twinkle lights. needs to eat less sugar>

Guess that means my advice and song didn't have anything to do with it then...

<Nudges Robert and mutters about young people today and their hair. Remembers own fuscia coloured locks and shuts up until has had opportunity to dye it again>

How come I get a boney elbow in the ribs and Zuki gets Wizz Fizz?
Now that Kitten mentions it though, Martin does look a tad 'tufty'. I'm sure the absolutely lovely young lass would appreciate you taking just a little pride in your appearance old fellow.

Wizz Fizz!!! <graciously accepts the sweet dust from Kitten (read: snatches and gobbles) pokes tongue out at Sir Robert and shows him the empty packet then starts bouncing off the walls>


Oh, come on you guys, don't you know that the unwashed, unkempt, rugged look is in at the moment?
