Re: A Smart Car Saga

Is there any story or moral to this thread at all now?

What happened to the flippin' Smart car?

If you don't have a cat then to paraphrase my sadly late friend Dr Ian Paisley "Cats will be provided".

But not our old Snot eh. He's too old and obstreperous.

By sheer coincidence, I am currently in our little log cabin at the end of the garden. Just heard a bit of a shriek and, looking out of the window, it would appear that our younger cat has just walked into the house carrying a mouse. Seems my wife and daughter aren't too keen.

Handle it yourself, or admit the kitchen is too hot for you and find somewhere cooler.

Thanks for that Harbal. No point trying to "battle it out" and get a rational discussion as this tends to lead to ugly threads. Been there, seen it, done it all too often.

Have used the ignore button and tend to have a break from the forum at times. Too many good people on here to want to quit the place over one person.

So, I'll keep to my current MO and see how it goes.

We all have to do things our own way, Dex.

We're all different. To each his own.
