    Is it catchphrase? I thought it was “In a nutshell”. I just don’t know who to believe anymore…

    Yep, got me too. 1st time I can think an advert had the desired effect on me. How much is that Nicolai, that exact bike there?

    Hi guys and gals. A person on a forum I frequent has a beautiful Ragdoll/Maine coon cross that requires rehoming. The owner is very very fond of him, and does not wish to rehome him, however he is now working away from home for long periods, and is unable to give the cat the attention he wants and the cat needs.

    Due to his concern for the animal’s wellbeing, he is willing to deliver him to anywhere within England, Scotland or Wales if he can find a suitable home. He’s previously had crystals in his bladder, and is now on a Hills diet, but he is currently fully healthy and will be delivered with a supply of the food that he is eating. He is a beautiful 2.5 years old, and stunning to look at – in fact if were not for my houserabbits I’d take him myself.

    Here’s a couple of pictures of him

    He has had some issues with finding the litter tray recently, but that is probably due to association with weeing and treatment, so a new home will likely be a good start on helping with that.

    Can anyone help him out?

    Please post here if you can, and when I find him online I’ll put you in contact.

    That’s what I typed on the “Bradford Cat Watch Rescue Kittens” page – it’s run by a lovely lady who always wants to help, she’s got loads of experience and several helpers all of whom may know someone. Also the page is used by quite a few people, so it might appear in from of them, or if anyone visits the group page.

    I have no idea if it’ll help, but let’s hope so.

    At a guess, rehoming him will knock all those habits back a bit anyway.

    Surely, if you can’t keep him [and i’m pretty close to that with my fish] and he needs rehoming because your circumstances have changed, then your best bet is to spend a loads of quality time with him when you can, fill the house with fake cat “it’s mine” pheromones [feliway] and advertise him locally or nationally as a cat for a good home. When you do find him a home, give them a supply of feliway to get him settled in.

    Have you tried the local paper, and asked your neighbours [have you already said that I don’t know and I’m typing too fast to look it up 😉 ]?

    I’ll sling the cat rehoming place I know a quick email, see if they can help. As they are normally dealing with rescued/abandoned cats I would suspect the thing to do if they will take him is to ask what exactly they might benefit from in the way if reimbursement/assistance.

    Could be worse:

    Another interesting thing about these big girls, is the battles between them and the local honey bees

    I make no apologies for that video 🙂

    To be fair – there’s only so much cat poo one can handle spread around the house!

    Have you tried Feliway!??!

    Failing that I do know a cat rehoming charity, but whether they will take him IDK.

    Sorry to be a deviant, but I just built mine to fit my frame and forks. Is this not possible?

    My graphics card has just keeled over, 3 weeks before I go back to uni.

    Spent the whole of Sunday reformatting the PC – sorting out several GB of files, installed the drivers and it’s straight back into “Black screen whenever I feel like it land”.

    Cockles.

    Are they


    Fruit Flies

    or


    Thrips http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/thrips-arrrgh-help

    In which case I’d move home as they are driving me bloody crazy and one’s just died in the middle of my monitor. Damn.

    +1 for “Try Feliway”. It’s a synthetic copy of cat pheromones and helps them feel less stressed/anxious. I sold a fair bit when I worked in a pet shop, and it often helped.

    EDIT: This crapping on the floor – is it a normal stool or loose?

    Most promotional posts turn into a pit of abuse, I struggle to understand how it’s worth it. But I guess the STW page doesn’t have un-prompted promotional posts?

    I don’t believe this: now at my flat one’s crawled into the actual centre of my one remaining 24″ flat-panel and died. It looks like 10 pixels have gone out, but I recognise the shape of the little sod, and when I tapped the screen it moved a couple of mm.

    How the hell am I supposed to get this out?

    I have to spend all day doing CAD with this here. Any ideas how to remove it? I guess I have to take the backlight and spreader apart.

    Oh dag nammit, I just scrolled down to preview this post and there’s another at the bottom of the screen walking about inside it!!!! AAAAARRRGRGHHHH!!!!!!

    Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that when I log-in the FB I go via facebook.nl?

    Have you seen this? I have never tried it, think it needs soft expensive t-shirts whereas mine are all cheap and weathered.

    Well that is weird. I searched every possible combination of the name and it didn’t show up, for real.

    I mean, I only spend 2 minutes on it, but that is really really strange. I wish someone would remove my post now 😳

    Just a guess – if the gears are in the wrong order, could it be that you assembled something in the wrong order?

    Can you get the gears in the right order if you rotate the cassette joint [or whatever it’s called]?

    I have to say the possibility of having it snap and insert carbon-fibre up my arse or into my buttocks would keep me with a branded one. Can’t you just get an old stock one from somewhere that you know is real?

    For reasons very much like our dear adjustablewench. As you can see it was after a hard day’s spannering in Halfrauds, and I was accessorising my Woolly Jumper with a Woolly Head and sitting on the hidden side of the steps down from the Truro railway station footbridge.

    Aaah, them’s was the days’ 🙂

    Immigrants and Benefits. There may be real issues involved, but everything you’ve just said is a load of warm horse droppings on my carpet.

    Oh and Christmas. Humbugs.
