So far this morning my wife's cat has pooped in the sink and stolen an extra half a can of food. Even by his standards of being a jerk, this is a blistering pace, and I'm excited to see what he has in store for us once food and guests make for a proper chance at mischief.

“The Motability scheme was set up to protect the most vulnerable. Not to subsidise the lease on a Mercedes Benz,” Reeves says.
Misleading and nasty in equal measure.

Big news, income tax is being charged this year.
