            Which in the case of next door's and our Greyhound (before anyone has a go this was a long time ago and the dog was technically my sister's) was a bad move on the part of the cat. Previous dogs had a scar from that cat - the cat had a scar from the Greyhound.

              It doesn't work.

              Either that or the local birds are deaf round our way judging from the skeletal detritus in our back garden.

                  No. I do try and watch it every Christmas but I always fall asleep before that bit.

                      It is a horror film after all.
