Sir W showing us the length of his teeth. Even with just a radio you could have used Consol.
Sorry to hear of the damaged relative. If he cannot grin and bear-it suggest he tries gin and bear-it. Don't quite get the racing against a catamaran, wouldn't the underkeel asphalt clearance be a disadvantage? (Not that we are unfamiliar with NZ asphalt. Grandpa was down there with the Neuchatel Bituminous Rock company in the early 1900s relieving the worthies of Wellington in exchange for road-metal).

no good asking me where we are. I am recovering from a rather advanced stage of inebriation. Have a look at that Map thingy on the table behind you. that should give us a clue.

A past aquaintance who was a biker went on a camping trip with mates.
At site he decided to pop to the shops. Only a short ride, no point in dressing up. Gravel track, dropped the bike and had the type of gravel rash that needs forceps to remove. Considerate mates just pointed out that it would have been quicker to walk and someone else had to go and get the milk. In his case nothing broken and he was able to, painfully, ride the bike back home. Anyway: All best wishes to our Kiwi friends.

Sadly, on veterinary advice and observation, I am about to lose both chief and deputy pussycats in the same week. I had been contemplating the recruitment of an assistant deputy but hadn't done anything more. So much for redundancy.

No, they were with tails. Conceived and born within a metre of my bed-head 15 years ago so I can hardly complain. But, as you say, sad. Chief (Nabpcat) stopped hunting a year or so ago - that had an upside, especially if the sound of rodent skulls being munched under the bed keeps one awake. His sister (Abpcat) was always more lady-like. Their sire, when not attempting incest, was otherwise the perfect gentleman. Came in one evening, refused food, sat with head on bottom step of the stairs and with a soft thump twenty minutes later dropped dead.

They haven't quite gone yet. I am engaged in cooking those human dishes which they thieved the most in the hope they will eat something. I won't continue once they become fretting.
