If it works for you I might give it a go. They seem to like being combed and will sit still if Mrs Covbob does it.

I'd never have guessed.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostTis true. I reckon some are feeling guilty about the time they're spending on here and so are looking for a bit of enforced time off.

Better than ibuprofenOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostI'll definitely give the lying down bit a try
It's not bad enough to need painkillers, and it's not stopping me moving around - I may go for a walk* later and see if that helps

I'm allowed to use my own but have a "client laptop" as a virtual machine. Now I have power leads strategically placed at the places I work from so I don't even carry them anymore.Originally posted by norrahe View PostI was wondering why mine was so heavy, well the laptop itself weighed a ton, but also the power lead as well.

NorPussII once vommed a mouse head up in my office at home while I was on a conference call with a client, he then followed this with the most noxious fart as he left the room.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostBe grateful.

I found the body smeared all over the kitchen floor
The NorPusses used to love bringing in dead birds or half dead birds, the ones that were on their last legs I had to finish off
tp put them out of their suffering.
