In response to: One of my favorite singer-songwriters

jonmc:   Yeah, that punchy but melodic style of these songs is such a lost art. Some asshole will try to recreate it through AI or something, but that wouldn't be the same.

jonmc:   Heh. Our local supermarket has a tiny British area of the "International Foods" aisle which feature Irn-Bru and HP Sauce and stuff like that.

tangerine:   Problem with the anti-social ones is that you can't put them on the same plate as the social ones because they cancel each other out and then nobody gets anything with their tea.

In response to: One of my cats has a cat now?

mightshould:   Strays know us....
I now have a feral black panther boi who I've been feeding over this winter. He has some hidey hole he goes to because he eschews using the heated bed I purchased. Fortunately our winters aren't severe.

When he first appeared, although he was skinny, he wouldn't get near me. Now he's right there and often is waiting. Sometimes he swats at me when I'm putting down the food bowl (maybe it's extra hungery days...)

I will try and trap him, then spend the $ to have him fixed, vaccinated and at least first flea treatment. I hope that eventually he allows me to apply the monthly flea prevention.

I would love to allow him in, but my Bertie Wooster is like Rudi and will accept nobody but his current indoor buddies.

In response to: One of my cats has a cat now?

arse_hat:   So much drama! The next night the new cat came round and so did Buddy Guy. Buddy was a feral/stray that showed up last fall but just about the time I was ready to trap he he stopped showing up. He came back and had a meal and I went in.

When I went out again Ginger was right at the door and began meowing and strutting which means something has him spooked but now that I'm here we are going to kick ass. I scanned around and saw the biggest possum I have ever seen. I had no idea they got that big.

When I got to the patio the possum left but there was blood all over. On the concrete, the table, the water bowl, and in the water. I don't know if the possum was bleeding or if perhaps it had brought something along for lunch and it still had blood. Anyhow I had to clean everything up.

So a big night for Ginger. Thankfully last night it was just him and I and he seemed very happy for that.

Rudi. Always walking alone.

Ubereats, Grubhub, Deliveroo,? Really running out of ideas.

In response to: One of my cats has a cat now?

senyar:   My local cat rescue is currently advertising lots of cats for rehoming. They have some, er, unusual names. Ubereats, Grubhub, Deliveroo, Jamiroquai...

Rudi would never have another cat, he's very much a loner. He and Ralphie, who lives down the street, seem to have worked out their power struggle which happened when the local bully cat, Hunter, died a few months ago. Ralphie rules one end of the street, and Rudi is King of the other. There's a new lovely little cat, Viggo, who wants to be friends with Rudi, but he is having none of it.

I absolutely love the idea of Ginger having his own cat, though.

arse_hat:   I see a future: No I don't have 27 cats. I have cats who have cats and some of those cats have cats...

Just cats all the way down.

Maybe Ginger will have a change of heart.

In response to: Unsolicited cookie tin of dicks.

terrapin:   which is the only UK town with the c-word in its name.

I laughed so hard a few years ago when I was watching ESPN and the presenters wouldn't say the town's name when discussing FA Cup results.

senyar:   Goodness me, what a story.

Grimsby is truly grim. Awful place. It's also not far from Scunthorpe, another dreadful dead-end town, and which is the only UK town with the c-word in its name.

Well, heck, I was hoping for a photo of OUR Miko, lol.

I've never heard of this singer, but I liked the song more than I thought I would. Now it's going to be an earworm for a while.

In response to: How Old Are You? - Miko Mission

jouke:   Strange, I never heard this song. Even though Italian pop was everywhere during the summer when people would have encountered it during holidays.
The production sounds very much like Baltimora.
Maybe his singing was a bit to sedate for rousing dance music.

In response to: How Old Are You? - Miko Mission

arse_hat:   So I watched it again and the video seemed a bit to smooth for 1984. I was right. It is from 2012 and features people from the 1980s videos and from 2010 - 2012. I like it.

Here is Miko in 1984.

In response to: Craig Whittler / oneswellfoop

jouke:   It's unknowable. But the absence of information is a form of 'death' in itself I guess.

Anyhow, I've been thinking about his quite a few times. Glad I'm not the only one to whom this matters.

In response to: Craig Whittler / oneswellfoop

arse_hat:   Just to be clear I read something where a person said they read something from another person that Craig was in a nursing home so that's third or fourth hand. Not really a certainty but he had/has a lot of health issues so it makes sense. I hope he is comfortable if he is.
