    It has been a long day today. I got up at 6:50, got to the office just after 8:30, worked my arse off till about 14:00 when I called it a day and came home, only to find my dear sweet pussy has deposited the inners of his stomach on my floor. I clear it up and foolishly fire up my machine before grabbing a bite to eat. I am greeted with an inbox that took two hours to sort through. Done - 5:30. No problem, I can still grab a bite to eat, so I make a lovely salad with dressing and all those different coloured lettuces. And then the telepone rings... that lasted almost two hours. Then - oh yes, it gets better - I find the bloody cat has very politely picked the chicken out of my salad and then vomited on the floor again. Now I get to eat a lettuce and cheese salad, with the strong smell of "peach wildflowers" to try to drown out the smell of sick. And as a final straw, I have just had a man knock on my door at ten o'clock at night asking me if I want my drive re-tarmacked. Tarmacked at ten in the f**king evening!!! What's next, Jehova's Witnesses asking the way to rightousnous? Or maybe the easter bunny wanting to borrow some sugar... He wont be calling me "mate" again, that's for sure, as as for the cat--I'm having it castrated in the morning. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave …

      The way I see it, it's your cat causing all this trouble. Just shoot it dead or gift it to someone you don't like very much...

        Or use it in your next salad. At least you'd get some of that chicken back. "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

                  Tarmac the cat. I find that greatly reduces the vomiting and shedding.

                                  I just had to re-reply and tell you I am still looking at that picture daily and I am still laughing my arse off every time. I must have copied of it on every noticeboard at the office and at home! :-D ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave …

                                  Glad you enjoyed it. We got a big kick out of it. My son first saw a print out of it at a boy scout meeting and could not quit lauging at it. He took it to school and now all of his friends have it. My wife took a copy to work, but her boss turns out to be an anal cat lover type and was offended by it, which is unfortunate considering that we are currently living off of her salary (don't want to make the boss angry or I'll have to go back to work! X| ). "There's a slew of slip 'twixt cup and lip"
