I just had a weird but lovely dream (yes, a nap was taken this afternoon). I went to the local rescue home, and picked up a scruffy elderly, black cat. They told me she was a good mouser. Back home, she started giving me excellent financial advice.

PS "Mäuse" is a colloquial German word for money.

The best comment about this story.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Whe remembers this?

Dad - "Which room are you in, this room or that room?"
Me - "This room."
Dad - "So why is the bloody light on in that room?"
Me - Turns off light in that room.

This has stayed with me for all of my life, I religiously turn off all lights that I don't need.

Probably the best thing you will see today.
In 1972, a cat commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These kittens promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune @thatwriterguy@mastodon.social

Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck! It looks like my Sky Q receiver has gone tits up, and that on a weekend! Hopefully Sky can send me a replacement within a couple of days. Gin needed.

This is the grave of my great-uncle Richard, who was killed on this day in 1918, 8 days before the armistice came into effect, he was 21. He is buried in the small British cemetery (87 burials) near the village of Brebieres, where he was working in a clearing station. I put a poppy on his grave. RIP
