My cat was shot Monday lunchtime (about 1.30pm) somewhere around Henslowe/Barry Road. He's currently being operated on as the pellet is lodged in his liver. It was reported to the police who were very helpful.


I'm absolutely furious that there are idiots shooting air guns at all and sundry! :o(

How is shooting into peoples windows the slightest bit amusing? They're obviously old enough to handle a gun, so they must be seriously fucked up.


Hope these bastards get the chance to taste their own medicine before they get caught.


Poor cat... I had a cat that got seriously shot (as yours has been, philiphenslowe). It turned out to be our next door neighbour. Our cat did make a full recovery =)

Can I ask what prompted your Neighbour to decide to shoot the cat?

Amazing what we sort through and understand, because we know what was MEANT.


"Poor cat... I had a cat that got seriously shot (as yours has been, philiphenslowe). It turned out to be our next door neighbour" writes A, B enquires "Can I ask what prompted your neighbour to decide to shoot the cat?"


And yet syntactically it is the CAT which turned out to be the next door neighbour.

    • Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.
    • A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour. 
    • Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.
    • Tom came round today and did a very good job advising on picture and mirror placements, and hanging several pieces. Will definitely ask him back to do a few more once we have them framed.
