They've been banging on about that since I was a wee boy. mmm...

I'm disappointed by the "peel here" sticker. Because he isn't. He's deid. I have to put up with Tony Blackburn being here instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Peel, I don't think he's been Yewtree'd either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 81 he still puts in a good shift travelling for radio shows and currently doing a theatre tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the auld boys can't face the idea of retirement. Ken Dodd was in his Nineties and still playing to auld ladies well past the point that they'd all nodded off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 In A-ha's 'Take On Me' video, they make it out that the young wifey couldn't pay her bill because she was trapped in the comic, but when she reappears out of the comic she does a runner anyway. Major pie kicking required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, we have a cat who sits on spiders until they die, so I keep finding squished arachnids around the place. Not sure that's a lot better for arachnophobes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy self cleaning trays these days if that's not your thing, but now I've spent the last 2 years changing my weans nappies, picking up a tiny wee cat shite in a bag is a cake walk. My cat also does that, gets her paws on top of it and just sits down. Sometimes if she's feeling playful she'll slightly lift a paw until it tries to scuttle away before she pounces again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found nappies easy compared to litter trays. Cat effluent is vile. Wood litter is a big improvement on the clay stuff. For the cat, obviously. One of ours is a longhair, and has reached the point in life that comes to us all eventually - she's not flexible enough to lick her own arse these days. Dragging her into the shower for a wee wash has become a monthly endeavour Thankfully she's fairly easy-going. I've had cats who'd have ripped my face off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a litter tray is bad you just dump the whole lot into the bin and put fresh litter in. If a nappy is bad I'm usually cleaning shite of various body parts for a number of minutes. Our cat is long haired too, she has perfected the art of dragging her arse across every floor in the house to try and free herself of the bit of jobby that has stuck to her arse hair. I suppose that is a bit worse than a nappy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap cuts of chicken and coleslaw are the worst offenders. Tubs of yoghurt with 0.4 micron thick film lids are 100x worse than either, both in frequency of bursting and the absolute bomb site they create. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That deals with the goat after the goat deals with the dog, supposing the dog has dealt with the cat first and that only after the cat has caught the bird which should've been the first step after seeing the spider. Personally I just chill with the spiders in this house. There's at least 5 or 6 that I know of. No flies though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if you can keep arachnophobia at bay, leave the spiders alone to do their thing and flying beasties stop being much of a problem. I started leaving a "ladder" of cloth out of the bath at night, as we had one particularly dippit spider that I kept having to rescue in the mornings. I'd like to think I'd learn the lesson after the sixth or seventh time falling into a pit from which I couldn't escape, but spiders are a breed unto themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
