  1. Finished the Moon over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Cant' wait for his next one.

    Just finished Smartest guys in the room, book about the downfall of Enron (and ultimatly Arthur Anderson). Got it for a pound in the works Macmillan Charity Booksale.

    Currently reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby.

  2. Nuffield charge over £50 for gum membership. Pure are, what, £20? That's a fucking cracking deal!

    £10 for my pure membership - I got in before they opened. They had an introductory deal.

    David Lloyd is something obscene like £70 quid a month. Poke that. Even when I go my maximum amount of times its still costing me £5 a go (and thats when I go 4 times a week!). There is no way I could even justify that. The only way would be if someone else was exercising for me, and I was getting the gains.

  3. What's the story behind the "Aberdeen Adamant" paving slabs that are scattered around town? They look like normal grey slabs, but with "Aberdeen Adamant" spelled out in what I assume is bronze. There's one outside the big Co-Op on the pedestrianised part of George St., and I noticed another on the pavement outside Sunnybank School this morning. I'm sure there are more too. What's the scoop?

    I think "Aberdeen Adamant" was the company that manufactured the paving slabs. And as such they put their branding on a few.

  4. Also - I know it's cute when a kitten play fights with you, but try to discourage it by putting him down when he scratches/bites and don't pay him attention when he does. It took a lot of work to stop my cat doing that when he suddenly became big enough for his play biting to be fucking painful!

    We are quite fortunate that we got two kittens, so when they play fight with eachother - and they bite too hard, the other one squeals. So they know whats a sore bit and whats not.

  5. Jake,

    Make sure you keep picking your cat up so it gets used to being handled.

    Also, touch its paws, and gently squeeze so you get its nails out. That way it gets used to you touching its hands, so you can cut its claws easier - rather than it trying to rip your eyes out.

    Also, get a brush, and brush it so it again gets used to it at an early age.

  6. Get a laser pointer.

    Our ones go absolutely mental for it. Also fun for standing in a big open space and getting them to build up speed, then getting them on laminate or lino and changing direction of the pointer. So they crash into things.

  7. I'm gunna chime in about cats.

    Our two "talk" to each other. When one is out of the room, they meow to each other - and I guess if they find something exciting, they change their pitch and the other comes running in to see what treats they have found.

    Also, the little shits were waking us up during the night clawing on our bedroom door and meowing. So we just close them in the bathroom at night, with litter and water. But its not that cruel, because when we first got them, the bathroom was their acclimatising room. And when they are scared they still hide behind the cistern.

  8. Went to Number 1 in Edinburgh last weekend.

    6 course tasting menu paired with wine. It was fantastic. The wife and I looked so out of place. But the staff addressed you by name, we got chocolates because they knew it was our aniversary.

    6 glasses of wine, and one was champage and another was sherry - I was ruined. We got a runthrough of the wine and why it was complimentary of the meal too.

    I have a photo of the pudding on my phone - but can't upload it on IE at work, as the java is out of date.

  9. He sent my missus a message on Facebook over the weekend saying "What happened on Friday? Did we fall out? LOL". So he's not likely to confess, since he was so tanked on Jager and whatever else that he can't even remember being a twatcunt.

    The chump needs to eat a fucking bullet.

    Get your missus to reply saying "no, but my face fell out with your fist, repeatedly"
