I worked with a guy called Barney years back.
Nice lad, sports science degree. Could make any kind of workout programme for you but otherwise came across as lobotomized

I've told my wife that if we do get a cat like she wants I get a say in the name.

She must prepare for Steve the cat

You know which they’re voting if they are called Barney.

I rate Lord Pawmerston and Kitt the Elder.

I’ve never had a fancy cat. Always just moggies and they’ve all been cheery enough.  I always think proper breeds come across as prim and proper and a bit aloof.  Proper blue bloods.

My mother had a succession of great cats - just moggies that we got from someone going door to door with a litter of kittens.

Jessie was a big ginger tom and he had some Maine Coon in him looking back. Big fluffy tail and big square body. Was whip smart, followed you around like a dog outside, rapped the door to get in etc. He ate/swallowed a rat whole in front of me one morning while I was nursing a hangover in the garden - he just left the tail and back legs.

I was obsessed at the time. My other name suggestion was Nicodemus, for a deeper cut (with smaller stitches).

Two children with chicken pox. Next week is going to be a joy.

Oh god that's awful mate.

One of the twins had it but it was so mild, 7 or 8 small spots then four or five days later all cleared up. No illness, no nothing.

A week or two later my nephew caught it somewhere, he is 11 months old and it hit REALLY hard.
He got taken to see the Dr who sent him straight to A&E.

Turns out he now has Sepsis in his hip joints.

He's going to be ok, they took him into surgery, cleaned out the hip joint and now he's in hospital on antibiotics via IV.

Poor little guy.

Chickenpox is awful, I had it for the first time only a few months ago. Would not recommend.

I had it when I was around 20. Even my cock had blisters on it. And not for any other reason.

that's fowl

When you have a Reply Guy

Sometimes I'll tweet things. On very select occasions, I'll tweet something that'll do numbers and my phone then melts because of all the notifications. Usually if something bangs, it's Rangers related. So, lo and behold, people hit follow on my account as they want some more. But, of course, these are football fans, these are rangers fans, and I'll be the first to admit that not everyone that follows me is the kind of person I want to follow back. Maybe they're too uberstaunch, or have Nic Sturgeon with demon eyes as a profile photo, or maybe their bio has NO TO VACCINES in it or something. I'm happy to let them follow me tbh, they'll most likely be gone after my nth tweet about OlliOlli World or hating the Queen or hating tories, or once the realisation my patters actually shite.

But every so often, someone will follow, and then....???? Take it upon them self?? To reply??? To almost everything you post?? With? The worst of patter?????

Ahh, its so cringe for me. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I'm like okay, hit a polite like, sometimes I'm feeling in a good mood so I'll reply. Depends. Now I've got a dude, who's on his fucking holidays, sending me a photo of a restaurant facade because it has the word Gav in it. Bro! I don't follow you back! I'm okay! Please! Leave me be! It's all good!

Tiny tiny tiny little thing but I'm too nice to block.

My alt Twitter doing the Queen’s work, god bless wall.

I’ve got jury duty this week and for the first time in my life I’ve actually been selected for the jury and the case is actually going ahead.

On the one hand, I’m genuinely interested in being involved and I feel it’s a civic duty you should take on and do properly when your name comes up. Also, 10am start each day - so I get a bonus lie in.

On the other hand, what a pain. Three days minimum, could well go on longer. And because they’re still operating under Covid rules I don’t actually get to sit in court, I’ll be in a local cinema watching it remotely.

Yeah even I have been called for duty and I'm not even allowed to as not a citizen. So I feel both included in the jury club but also missing out.

Please buy popcorn and start eating it more enthusiastically at the more salacious parts of the trial.
