BDSM boredom...yep I'd have to say I've lost interest in getting the details sorted out and wandered off - either metaphorically or physically. I've even fallen asleep. But 'put the shoe on the other foot' and allow me to take control and I'm a happy and engaged boy ;-)

Yep, we put bells on our old trout of a moggy and on the ging-ger kitten but either they target deaf birds or somehow manage to stalk them on three legs while holding one paw over the bell to muffle it.

Then, to make matters worse, Angel (the grumpy old trout) lost her collar complete with bell and cat flap magnet. So she has to follow the idjit Twitch when she wants to come IN the cat flap, or run her claws down the glass in the door until someones staggers over to let her in, their fillings vibrating at such a frequency to cause instant migranes!

As a careful Piscean I have now strapped lengths of 4 x 2 across my (already Christmas Holiday Inflated) arse in an attempt to prevent a fall down a coal mine.

Thanks for the heads up!

Snortle.....I nominate that for The Longest Build-up to a Rotten Pun Award 2008

Very cute....I have a red headed daughter and I can just see her getting caught up in an adventure just like that one! I really want to see the one about the Snot Fairy.....

Merry Christmas ya'll

I haven't read ALL of the posts so I hope I'm not repeating a question but if the only charges are under the Firearms Act, will all of the hearings still be in Auckland? Ans if so, who pays for the defendants who live elewhere to travel there and back?

As a onetime _Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy_ fan I'll have to try and remember to watch _Freeze Me_. Yet another example of science fiction becoming science reality, maybe?

We had a friendly, family affair with ALL the kids (3) back from their respective 'other' homes; and my partners parents, her brother and his partner over. Seafood food mmmmmmmmmm. Sure, the weather wasn't what I remember from my childhood, but we had lots of fun and fellowship.
Came back to work on 3 Jan and I was, quite frankly, pleased to get back into a sane daily routine.
