    When you say your popping over the road for a couple of pints to someone and they turn up nearly an hour later.
    Then then get the hump when you say I'm having 1 more then I'm off

    So your just popping out, not going out out

    Going somewhere with people who are always late turning out the house! 
    My wife drives me crazy for this.  If you know it takes you an hour to get ready, either don't start getting ready 45mins before we need to leave, or just accept you'll have 45 mins and adjust.

    Don't take an hour anyway so we're late!
    With an hour to go me mum would have the washing machine on be half way through the hoovering and then say to me dad will just give the grass a cut before I start getting ready.

    Wine bottles made with thick glass so that when you pick one up you think 'Bonus! Must be a couple of glasses still in there'. Crushing when you realise that's not the case.
    Clocktower SB, I'm looking at you.

    Was going to stay of this topic as miserable bastards like me can always find something to get annoyed about.However, why was Roger Federer,arguably the worlds best ever tennis player,and in the twighlight of his career,asked to play a match which finished locally after midnight,in an empty,soul less stadium.Surely,if the main courts could not accomodate him during the day,even playing on a lesser court in front of a few thousand would have been preferable to this.The match was a classic,up and down,with Roger showing the will to win that has epitomised his career,and no one was there to see it.I know it is nice to give others a game on the show courts,but ffs,this is Roger Federer.

    People with umbrellas who don't have spatial awareness and assume they are same width as without one. Then they walk directly at you.

    When you forget your wearing a mask, open a bottle of lucazade and it fizzs everywhere. So you put your mouth around it to contain it, but you forgot you had your mask on so it just runs down the mask and all over your top. 

    Happy Friday morning.

    Our cat and the cat next door just had a right old scrap, which because it happened in our garden is all my fault, when I pointed out that their cat was in our house eating our cats food she sulked off,  I wouldn't mind but our thing is ancient and came off worse.

    Just cats being cats, stroppy owners should have got a budgie, that really would give her something to moan about if it became lunch.

    Got a bit of a war zone in my garden at the moment with one of my cats, Oscar, who has taken a dislike to the young male cat from the house on the other side of the back fence who has a habit of coming into Oscar’s territory to hunt birds. The intruder, Delta, still has his balls and fancies himself as a bit of lad but my boy is from the streets and won’t take any shit from this new adversary and they’ve had many a tear up over the last few weeks. Oscar has the weight advantage and is kicking Delta’s arse much to the annoyance of his owners who I’ve heard describe my champ as a ‘f’ing bully’. Makes a dad proud I’ll tell you.

    My cat Colbie was a bit like that in his younger days, isnt an old boy by any means but has certainly mellowed.

    Still the remember the day we met him at the rescue centre, we went into their cats room and Colbie was sitting by the cat flap looking at it, this other cat (was living there too) poked its head through the cat flap looked left, looked right, saw Colbie staring at him and slowly backed out again. 

    They had to move him before we collected as he was being a bully to the other cats in there - I think he was just being over protective to his Sister who we also rescued at the same time.

    I've spent many a time legging it out to the back garden to break up my cat getting decked or rogered without her consent by the neighbourhood brutes.

    As said above you cant stop it when it comes to cats having a ruck. It's just what they do.

    Its on your own head if you try to break it up... Colbie will often sit on my lap and paddy paw on my legs, can sometimes feel his nails and they're bloody sharp

    Oscar shares his space (our house) with Alfie who we’ve had for fourteen years and has absolutely no interest in fighting. Minus most of his teeth, deaf in one year and with a dodgy eye my old lad likes the quiet life and Oscar generally leaves him be but I think that’s more because he knows he’d mightily piss off his dad (ie me) if he went for Alf. They’ll happily sleep on the same bed together but Oscar does have an annoying habit of stalking Alf when he has his daily foray into the garden. I’ve already told Oscar that when he’s old I’m going to get a kitten to terrorise him so he knows what karma is.

    I have always been of the opinion that if the cat was big enough and hungry enough you’d be lunch.
    Don’t kid yourself any different.

    I remember my last cat took a right beating from I assume another cat but possibly a fox. Ended up having to take him to an emergency vet on a sunday. He had his head shaved and a cone put around his neck for 2 weeks as he had a pretty deep cut on his bonce.

    £600 later, any sound of a fight in my garden I'm out there like Usain bolt. Dont need that expense again 😁

    Cats are funny. We had a giant tabby called Winston who was the absolute guvnor and took no prisoners, including dogs. His sidekick Tigger on the other hand was a ginger sack of stupidity, had no teeth after running into a stack of deckchairs and breaking his jaw. Tigger used to take out the neighbours rabbits and guinea pigs, but could only gum them.so I had.to crawl through a Holly bush to rescue them. I miss Winston. 

    So what annoy me? My current cat Edgar fancies my wife and clearly thinks he has a chance. He probably has more than me quite frankly
  • My last cat never took to me despite the fact it was me who looked out for her, cleaned up after her, got and paid for the vet when necessary and kept her flea free etc.  The one person she did seem to like tolerate was my son who did none of the above.

    It then dawned on me that in cat terms I was just the slave serving her, whilst my son was almost her equal receiving the same sort of service that she did.

    In my 55 years of marriage,we have had 16 cats,11 of which have been strays.I dont know what it is with cats,but they seem to detect when there is a possible vacancy opening up.Every time I have lost one of my dear friends,there always ,within a short time seems to be a ready made replacement.I have 3 at the moment,one lived a mile from me,the lady made one feeble attempt to take him home,he came back,now ours,another was chipped,owner had moved away and left him,found outside my front door,now ours,the other one I have,was not chipped or or neutered,may have been a ferral cat,now ours and as dopey as you can get,loved them all,the odd skirmish but in general they get on fine.

    Okay Okay... Put the claws away... Although I agree it would be more purrr-fect if a separate thread was created
