Quote: roscoff @ August 23 2010, 11:25 AM BSTRoscoff is now semi excited at the prospect of going to Ireland on a concert tour Friday. My last weekend as the player of a cornet/trumpet. Still, a good way to bow out.
Didn't you quit and play a 'last concert' about a year ago...?
Quote: EllieJP @ August 23 2010, 12:20 PM BSTHi there Rob (you lay about teacher).
How is married life?
It's pretty much the same as it was before, which is a good thing.
It's particularly good today because I'm at home in London while my wife is in Derbyshire. Hence bed-telly.
Did she go on a hen weekend?

Nope, she's gone up to the in-laws. I'm kitten-sitting, which is easy as they just live behind the settee. Rubbish pets.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

But they is under the sofa, zooo. Where else is one to sit?
The correct manner of things, is for them to sit on you.
Tempt them out with some foods.
They must be scared of you. I was always covered in kittens.

They do venture out, and they're fine if I'm sat there. But if I stand up there is a flurried blur of black fluff.

If the stand up doesn't work out you could always get a job at the Samaritans Nat.

Aww, well be nice and non loud, and they might get used to you soon.

I'll drive you to Beachy Head if you like ? Ey ?
You should lay down near them. Cats are very big on the status thing, and if you are down on their level they are a lot more likely to come explore.

They are called Cocoa and Molly. It would have been Lewis and Macgyver, but the stupid things turned out to be girl cats. (I <3 them really)

That sounds like good advice. Thanks Nat.
