what is so funny about some poor kitten with BDD? Alternatively, what is the kind of premium one would expect to pay for a house with Under-floor Tigrage?

Good _Lord_, no. If I don’t leave from it at least three-parts pissed, I demand a refund.  
ah. No, you certainly cannot do that either, and I don’t personally, believe in the old teaspoon trick. never had the need for it, surprisingly…  
Safe journeys and happy Beer.

Oo-er… Town watch out!

Last night on the World Service I heard bits of various Eurovision songs, and one was the French one, “Mercy”, which was said to be about immigrants drowning in the sea, or not drowning, something of the sort. I’d’ve sworn I heard much the same being said about one of the songs either last year or the year before, but because I don’t pay that much attention to the ESC I have no idea what it was or sung by which country’s representatives; does anyone happen to know?

I, meanwhile, am wondering it if is possible to source chainmail bed socks. It isn’t even Malice on Mrs B’s part, or not usually: it’s Happy Kneading.

Mr Janie will sympathise, though it’s a Kevlar vest he needs against the chest pummelling. I did clip Heidi’s front claws the other day - she is amazingly relaxed about that which Mrs B might not be, of course. Must ask Mr J if it made a difference. He asked me if I would when he said quite mildly that her claws were starting to get through a fleece and a T-shirt and with summer coming on things can only get worse.

Heidi doesn’t attempt to pummel _my_ chest, funnily enough. Says a lot about Mr Janie, doesn’t it, total soft touch. Wish I could say the same for Heidi.

Not sure about the song, Fishy

It would be easy to say that they all sound the same, which is not quite true, but you know what I mean

Listening to the WS in the middle of the night can have an effect on my dreams

Sometimes, not inna Good Way…

Well, I know that this year’s French one does sound like that, because I checked, and the lyrics are right as well. But stuff I may have heard a year or two years ago I can’t easily check without knowing what it is, so I am a bit stymied.

Not sure where/how to look, Fishy

The ESC used to be quite an event at Carinthia Towers. It often fell at the end of Red Cross Week which I organised in Chesterfield for 15 years.

We were knackered after a week of collecting, with Mr C counting & DiL checking . The Lad would drive me round God knows how many pubs each evening as my Bodyguard

By the Saturday evening I was usually gibbering,& I had a bath, dressed in my finest Kaftan & we ate Chinese Takeaway & drank Fizz with the song contest on in the background…

I am on my 4th day of not getting to sleep until 4 am, so the gibbering is coming on nicely

There’s wine in the 'fridge & some Chinese Takeaway…

I was most surprised when I heard Schools Programmes on at Stooopeeed o’Clock on the WS

‘Singing Together’ at 03-30is most strange

Not if you’ve been out on the batter, it isn’t. You tend to join in lustily.

But that obviously does not apply in the case of a well-conducted Chatelaine. I am very sorry to hear about the stupid sleep pattern. It is No Fun, that, and I hope tonight is better.

Are you sure they aren’t small tree-dwelling leopards?

All sounds most satisfactory, yay! apart from the connectivity issue. But that ought to bother us more than it does you, if it is only for a few days.
