    Yeah, OK - not quite so regal:rotfl:

    But that's an imperious paw-point he's got going on :D

    Still not convinced ;) He's got a thin reedy miow too and he often has his mouth open in an O shape, which makes him look both cute and slightly surprised!

    Thank you, so am I now. I felt quite guilty to start with though!

    Hello and welcome! Keith? Barry? :rotfl:If Colin didn't come scampering down the hall when I called him, I might have changed it, but with his mouth open he looks like he's laughing at his name too. I'm not looking forward to calling him in. Goodness knows what everyone will think....

    Loving the new Colin pics. He's gorgeous!

    If you think your poop story is bad... my OH is actually able to tell which of our two has done their business.... because of the smell!! :eek: She knows their different poop scents!

    She says when she used to be a carer in a nursing home, colleagues would walk by with a bedpan and she knew which resident it belonged to by smell alone.

    Oh how I wish there was a way to monetise that skill :rotfl:

    Have to agree, it's hard to work out how best to use that skill :rotfl:Glad she's not the poop inspector on the dog poop bin. I wonder who volunteers to empty it.....must pay a lot....

    I should have loads to report for two days, but I haven't. I did get a bonus rebate on my larger credit card bill of £137.00 which has taken it down nicely, mind you there's still over £8k left to pay off. I must update my signature later as it is coming down very slowly.

    I found 28p road kill, all going in the giant Bells bottle, it'll take forever to fill, especially as I keep taking change out for bus fares :o

    I have a bit of a dilemma, my winning the exceptional employee award means the shop gets to have a paid night out and they all want to go to a karaoke bar. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than listen/participate/watch karaoke.... I will have to come up with a valid reason for not going!

    The Captain gets clipped tomorrow as he's turning into a hairy hefflalump, this means that he will go even faster and sillier as the cooler air hits his skin, look forward to some hair-raising ride stories!

    ...and lastly, Colin ate my Basil plant in the kitchen, all that's left are little stalks. He's fine and smells fantastic!

  • Well that's a new one on me - never heard of a cat eating Basil! Love the pics - the armchair one looks as though Colin's about to take on a round of Mastermind.
