    Quiet. So we hear your wife says the same about you. Better check your life insurance for any sudden increases

          Get a Nintendo DS with Catz instead - cheaper and easier.

            Indeed. Around here, when they aren't sh1tting on my garden or killing the wildlife, most of the cats' favourite spots are the bins. An appropriate way to dispose of them.

              I think the mayfly has to be the perfect pet - No getting attached to them little buggers.

              When I was younger, when we first moved to the farm, my folks bought some 6 day old bullocks. They were so young that you had to put a finger in their mouth and put their heads into the bucket so that they would drink their milk. So they were really hand reared. As they were the first ones, each one had it's own name. Over time there was only one which was like a pet - Greedy. Even when he was bigger and after we had his nuts cut off he would still come up to you in the field to let you pet him. You could even sit on his back and he'd plod round the field with you. And then we ate him and his mates. They were chopped up and some were sold, but each freezer bag had the name of the cut of meat and the name of the animal it came from. It was like eating the dog - but that came much later and somewhat spoit Christmas dinner. You don't find many 4 legged turkeys!
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                A dog is not just for Christmas day, get a big one and you'll have enough left for sandwiches on boxing day!

                  I was more upset about my cat dying than one of my grandparents. Didnt take time off work for either.

                  We're not a close family.

                    I never even met my grandparents, so when they died I was like "who?"

                    I think when my cat dies I'll be wondering what I should do with the body? cremate or just bury in back garden. I'd say, let the worms have her!

                      Last year our cat died.

                      Mrs PRC wanted it to be buried.

                      So being the galant man I am I offered to bury it in the park.

                      I head off with the cat and a garden trowel, drop cat in nearest wheelie bin and spend 1/2 an hour in the pub.

                      Result.
