)t' Hope she is as good when you see her and you get on well together. I don't know about dogs (always had cats) do you think it is the name they respond to or the tone of voice when you call them? My grandson had 2 ponies both called Iggy, it didn't bother him, I think he called the second 'big Igg...

oh dear

I don't know. What is the difference between a poorly dressed man on a tricycle and a well-dressed man on a bicycle?

It's very easy to oversimplify. E.g. renewables (but where do you get the batteries from), windfarm (but will it cause bird strikes), etc etc I remember back in the 70s there was a campaign against coloured toilet rolls and my first thought was 'will that mean more bleach in the rivers instead?'

I know how it feels. I was lost without Pat - needed to get another cat ASAP.
I feel that cats are easier than dogs (and my daughter lives near and keeps horses next to my house so can feed on the few occasions when I can't, and I know she would take her if need be).

I spent ages looking for a thread I thought was there Cracker Jokes Got all involved in reading about 4 years worth of members chats - we had some interesting discussions back then. And all because I had a silly thought (remembering something my father used to say). So here you are then - What did t...

Yes, if you don't have an incentive to practise (e.g.a class next week) it tends to get left. Same with my recorders and piano accordion though after playing in pub sessions for a week at a Folk Festival my fingers start to link what my head is humming to the holes on the recorder. I come home vowin...

A few years ago my friend wanted to look round a kitchen shop and among the amazing gadgets there was something shaped like half an egg (rounded top, flat bottom). The top was clear, the base was red when you put it into a pan of cold water with the egg/s, as the eggs cooked the base changed changed...

It is particularly hard when you are alone. I know how quiet the house can be.
