Stroke the Bengal until it decides you are being an importunate nuisance and shifts of its own accord?
Chesticles are under the doctor and an anti bionic thank you wee bee
I am now a Bengal cushion so knitting is abandoned until he shifts
Gawds but he is a big sturdy beast
Heāll keep you warm, at least
Itizz Bluddy Baltic here
The blue bins are still out awaiting collection

But what colour were they when you put them out, Dahlink?
Hmm
No sooner the word than the deedā¦
Itizz raining & an unmarked bin lorry has arrived. A young man wearing an hoodie with a high-viz weskit over the top, & with his āphone clamped to his ear, approaches my blue bin, & lifts the lid.
Satisfied that I wasnā t getting rid of anything dangerust, he pulls the bin to the kerb & waits for his sidekick to bring the lorry.
All this was achieved without disturbing his 'phone arm, & without the use of glovesā¦
Thud

I think that phones will be implanted at puberty soon!
Along with the tracking devices that go with them, no doubt.
Donāt need a separate tracking device if the suckers are willing to pay for their own (and life is set up such that they have to 'cos they canāt do anything without it).
I can do loads of things without a smarty pants phone!
Itizz how many people access The Internetty, though. My 'phone is the most modern piece of technology I ownā¦

Pay for shopping, fuel, parking ticketsā¦
Check for Covid contacts
I know they have many uses
I just want it known I have a life without my mobile phone!
So many young folk seem to be unable to do anything without a mobile
You do realise that makes you sound ancient, donāt you, Dere⦠;- )
The young people today have no taste in beer. Which means more of the good stuff for me.
Extends empty glassā¦
Fills glass.

Thank you wee bee
ā¦somewhat inexpertly by the look of it. Perhaps your bar-serf needs a refresher course. Happy to be a secret shopper if that would help.
Yes, but only because you have access to even more smarty pants equipment and an Expert Mr Smarty Pants himself, to keep it all going!

I have no clue about beer and employ any passing bee to pour it, Gus.
