Hazel and Moose:

Thank you for the pic of Barney.

What a sweetie - ahh, he is just like (although, obviously much lovelier than) my neighbour's cat, Socks who I look after when she goes away. I will think of Barney everytime I see Socks - I hope you dont' mind : )

Moose and Hazel,

Barney - what a sweetheart! Very, very similar to my wee cat Toots who I had to leave in America in 1980. Toots had a wee black mark at the bottom of his chin, but other than that they could definitely be related! Barney looks so happy and I know, Hazel, that's how you'll remember him.

Love,
C xx

Thank you so much Moose. I may be being overly emotional, but my pussies are my kids, and whatever anybody says, I'm a double 'ard softie at heart.

Gaby, of course I don't mind! May I point out the perfect Empire State Building on his forehead, or the other way around, a perfect Batcat Mask...

Thanks Moose
love

ooooh...it's all kicking off next door! Lot's of s&%t flying...maybe my Brown Wednesday suggestion wasn't so far away?

....who let them in?

I think I have upset someone today.

I really think that we have gone over the hill now. Chris has clearly got bored with this and we are now being infiltrated by 'ooh, look at them, they think it's their own personal blog' types.

I may pack this in soon.

MfR,

Don't let the b******s grind you down!

Can't tell you how many times I have written a reply, but deleted each one.

Just ignore the idiots, they have neither the skill nor wit to contend and will soon be on their way!.

C xx

P.S. Don't know that I have the skill or wit, but I'm going nowhere!

Moose said...

They should see that a lot of people do actually have their own personal blogs too...
I say let them vote with THEIR off buttons, not demand that we vote with OURS. And if Chris wants to vote with HIS off button, that's entirely up to him.

I think Chris will refer to it tomorrow in his blog

Hazel and moose,

Thanks for the picture ;-))

As for next door, I always thought it was likely to descend into a bun fight. I have to say though that for the largest part of the last few months we have had a very good thing going on. My way of dealing with the infiltrators who are attempting to upset the balance is to ignore them. At the moment they have not picked on individuals in a personal way….when they do I for one will just hit the complain button rather than get into a fight as it will serve no purpose.

I would love to tell you what I wanted to post.

It was short and very 'to the point'

Was having a really great day, now having a really rubbish afternoon... Work is mental, my posts to the blog don`t seem to have gone through and no one is replying to my E mails - work and personal. Maybe there is something wrong with my E mail. Maybe no one wants to talk to me today.

MfR - Don`t go. I love your posts !

Gaby,Chrissie S - Feel free to get in touch, Moose has my E mail address and I`m more than happy for him to give it to you :)

I`m hoping I have a much better evening x x x

Tracey-Ann - thank you so much, I would love to be in touch.

I think we ought to ask for a reduction with the introduction fee - 6 for the price of 1, maybe : )

Ah well just as well have a laugh!

A young man walks in and sits down at the bar.

"What can I get you?" the barman inquires.

"I want 6 shots of Jagermeister," responded the young man.

"6 shots!? Are you celebrating something?"

"Yeah, my first blowjob."

"Well, in that case, let me give you a 7th on the house."

"No offence mate, but if 6 shots won't get rid of the taste, nothing will."

A ham sandwich walked into the pub and up to the bar. The landlord said 'sorry mate, we don't serve food in here'

Barney look absolutely gorgeous. He looks very happy.

Thanks for posting it Hazel and Moose

I have posted a rude comment next door asking people who don't like the CLP blog to BLOG OFF. I doubt it will get past the BP but honestly I have had enough!!!!!

Everything's moving like an express train!

Tracey-Ann and BigUn, would love to get in touch. I only have email at work at the moment, but will have a home email very soon. Don't mean to be a dork, how do I get your email addresses from Moose?

Wonder if Chris being off air is anything to do with his "friend" at the hospital?

Cathmel - well done, hope it goes through. I am fed up with the nutters too. What harm is being is being done with Chris's blog? Why can't people just "play the game" and live and let live?!

Echo, echo, echo, just what Gaby said ;-)

Good luck moose,

I have just finished three days of interrogation from my working group who have now retired to consider the options they think they have to sort out my working practice. Don’t these things drag on ;-(

Chrissie S if you go to the moose blog home page and have a look at his profile there is a link to his email account…..just press it and send (with a message as well of course).

P.S. I am going to go home now ;-)) I may catch Mrs B out or on with getting home early!

Aww ... what a gorgeous cat! I hope he's made friends with my Buffy and the pair of them are having a whale of a time.

Your a real honey, Moose - huge huggles to Hazel.

Love, Susan, the Highland lass ... in tears over the computer.

Ummm ... where's Chris!? I've just gone online and he's not there!

Anonymous said...

Lovely pic of Barney, thanks Hazel and Moose.

My goodness whats been going on, I've got sooo much to catch up on!

Tell me something guys why is it when I listen to Chris I never switched over, I listen to all the music he plays and yet when it's someone else it's just not the same! I'm sure Stuart is a very nice man just not to my taste, sorry! I would have thought he has the same playlist Chris would have had, so why does the music sound different with a different DJ? Am I just stark raving mad.......yeah thats probably more like it! :-)))

Hope everything is ok with Chris, you would have thought they might give the reason for him not being there, does that make me sound really nosey? Don't mean it to be just concerned all is well, especially when he mentioned yesterday he had to go to the hospital with someone!

Gaby - I've decided thirsty Thursday has come early :-)) Going to enjoy a glass of red whilst catching up on the today's events.

Bye for now

Moose - can't believe i'm not in your book ;-( (I've been reading yesterdays blog) I didn't actually understand your theory perhaps I should refuse my degree!

Anna - can I come to your street party please?

Anonymous said...

Tracey-Ann/Mary

was just serving up my food and I recollected Stuart saying that Chris wasn't feeling well.

having said earlier there was no explanation, I thought I better report back.

must get more sleep

both reports could be wrong - def need to sleep more!!

nice one cathmel

Mary - I totally agree with you - there is something about the energy isn't there.

off to eat : )

Actually the below all responds to the earlier blog, but didnt want people to miss what i said so have reposted.

evening - had pesky people looking over my shoulder all day today so have not been able to check in. My its good to be back.

Gaby - LOL xx

Anna Friel is ok, but i think i prefer Nigella. We have a similar sized bottom and altho i dont suggestively eat asparagus, i reckon with a dark wig i could pass..... (another blondie moose!) or should that be with a wig, in the dark.

Hazel - go walking. in nottingham. are you crazy!? Only joking, walking is ok actually. Live near sherwood forest and often visit a place called rufford to feed the ducks and spot the squirrels and him in doors is a big out doors fan so usually do something outdoorsy on a weekend. Think it is probably during the week that i dont do enuf. Diet is ok, eat fresh when i cook but do indulge in the odd take out, once a week.... well paul mckenna says i can!

Re 30th birthday, when writing my list i wondered about inviting you lot, and then thought - may be that is too strange. have told him in doors about you all and he doesnt care either way (not in a bad way incidentally!) but how do i explain you all to my friends, family and neighbours.... particularly given that i would be more excited to see/meet you lot than some of my family!

AS66 - Chapel Porth near St Agnes!? I love that beach!!!

Moose - hope the HR mtg went well.

PS Grape Nuts??
PPS knackers (ha ha, twice!!) to the blog dissers. Please them selves.

blimey, it really is kicking off next door. And i thought it had been resolved. I wouldnt mind but the people who complain are the ones ive never heard of before. I dont mind people having an opionion, but surely they have know what they are talking about first.
I really do think that CLP started all this with his talks of wizards and personal growth. It was a good thing and sparked some interesting debate, regardless of how it made you feel at the time (for me, to be honest, a little uncomfortable - my spirituality is strong, but not terribly public.), when you open your heart and soul you are bound to forge friendships and its not like we have done that and ignore newcomers. They are all welcome, as i recall it, you yourself moose (and me for that matter) was a 'late comer'.
You get out what you put in.

Oops, sorry, i appear to have inadvertantly stepped on to a soap box. Its ok, i have kicked it to one side for now.

Anonymous said...

Evening all

Just got back from squash....oh no, I forgot, no personal essays!. Oops, thats next door isn't it?

God, some people are pathetic aren't they? Cathmel - the 'blog off' was priceless!

I'm just pondering over putting something else on there or wait 'till tomorrow. Mind you, with Mr E gone AWOL, I mean he blogged at 1ish and disappeared by 5, what's that all about, there probably will be no blog tomorrow, if ever after today's debacle.

Anyway, wiffle, waffle, hope you're all OK.

I think I might pop over and wind them up a bit......

Right, wind up suitably blogged.

Let's hope the thought police let it through.

Blimey!! Well I have been put in my place haven't I??

I suppose I objected mostly because the dissenters were not regular contributors. I have obviously riled Giles Lawyer but luckily I have a thick skin(ish). I have made one small reponse but will now choose Littlest Hobo's path of silence in relation to dissenters.

I shall try and be brave enough to post tomorrow. I think the blog community is strong enough to cope!

Anyway it was Chris who started the farting comments.............

Perhaps you wont want me at the next OAMC :-(

Anonymous said...

Cathmel

You're welcome at any OAMC I'm present at! Obviously I'll understand if you need to slip outside now and then.....

I think it's my rambling that they don't like. One of them referred to my posting number.

Anyway, I've popped a little riposte on there. Hopefully.

Moose et al

Hope you don't mind me jumping over here. When I read some of the negative stuff today, I felt that I had sparked it off with my quite personal feelings about a friend - posted this morning against yesterday's blog. maybe I'm just paranoid though! I'm still a newcomer to all this but as I've said before i think it's great and I love the support that's there for anyone that seems to need it. I say power to the bloggers - we need more love and peace in this world.

Nice to see Barney.

Moose said...

Well...you go off to the gym, cook bangers and mash with onion gravy (yum!), log on and the whole world has gone crazy!
I thought I'd better post on here than over there.
I agree with Dr T about silence - my silence on the matter was not only because of absence from my "post". The problem with silence, of course, is that you'd miss out on classics from anna and cathmel and susan s and others - well done for making me laugh! Even if it achieved nothing else.

SO to weightier matters...the HR lady is still being manipulative, trying to put words in my mouth about me having said that I want to leave (which legally is very different from being made redundant!). But I think we've agreed just about everything now with one outstanding item, being my bonus for this year which is 11 months through already. But it's only worth £50k...
So looks like a relatively large cheque is coming my way in April...bigger than my minimum I set myself and almost as large as the maximum I was hoping for. There are still potential spanners flying around though, so until the ink of the signatures is dry on the agreement, I'm not celebrating.

Couldn't belive it when I saw 46 comments over this side...well done you guys. I have to look at the e-mails. I wouldn't want to divulge any that have not been "authorized" to give away. So give me a day or two to sort it out.

DWNB - responsible? I can't help but feel partly responsible for the goings on next door. I have been concerned before that I have hi-jacked the thing at times...mostly it has concerned me what CE thought about that (rather than a bunch of no-marks who contribute nothing but their poison).
Oh well, done now.
I still say long live the blog but do suspect that MfR is right when he says Chris has lost interest. And with todays vitriol, I think he might stop.
I hope not, but if he does, life will continue, and so will my blog.
And if any of them dare to comment over here, I will zap them and ban them from commenting.
Because I can (when I've worked out how!!!)

Cathmel - just to say that in reality, at the moment, before the editing, YOU ARE IN THE BOOK (and shhh but some of the others aren't yet...but will get added in the edit!) Sorry all, but I did write it a month or so ago, and some of the friendships have blossomed more recently!!!
Did I get away with it? I think so. Just!
Need to post a new one ready for tomorrow morning for you guys...

Anonymous said...

MfR - thanks for your kind words and agree completely with your sentiments.

Off to bed now - tomorrow is another day.

Moose,

Just popped onto your blog for a curiosity quenching visit and I must say, it is splendid. Delightful picture of Barney, especially as I am a cat lover and have a a little 9 month old chap of my own named Bumble.

Anyway, I am sure that I could spend an inordinate amount of time being smug about being in Vancouver, but that would surely be preposterously cruel...

Well, must dash as work commitments urge me on into the afternoon.

Good day to Moose, Gaby, Hazel and all others...
Dr. T (a.k.a. Littlest Hobo)
