Rich, did you go out for munches in Paris?

Just means Germans complain more; they expect better.

Essentially they're the most spoiled and entitled people in history.

German women must be a nightmare.

They are if you're a German man, I'd say. Centuries of fighting has left the male population thinned down to the point of chronic anaemia. And even worse, it has necessitated a sort of permanent woman-led social-bureaucracy as sovereign power; ruling the high, the middle and the low justice. Imagine England being run by the Sandford-on-Thames chapter of the WI for the past thousand years. No fathers, no grandfathers, no great grandfathers; just homos and foreigners (nttawwt, of course) and you cannot build anything that way so they don't even try. After all, nobody wants to raise families or nations on their own, not even women.

My ain wife is terrific. I didn't know she was German when I met her.

They've memory-holed that bit of Fawlty Towers. Woke nonsense; it's anti-racism gone mad

I guess it is a strange place to be in. A century where the rest of the continent feared both German strength and German weakness. They need to be kept in a situation of moderate stability.

As you say, you cant build a nation in that pigeon hole. Particularly if your vision of a nation is the sort of domination of other nations that is now 'frowned upon'..... more woke nonsense

I suppose they do have their football team.....

Did you name that cat?

He told us his name by telepathy after he'd moved in during Covid, dumping the neighbours he used to live with.

We spent a couple of weeks trying to work out his name, and the glw came into the bedroom, saw PP on the window sill and said "There you are, Puddle Paws." And we went "so that's what his name is."

He does a lot by telepathy and communication. The last two days, we've been upstairs and he's in a cardboard box in from of the burner. He meeowed a couple of times with his double meeows, we replied, he meeowed again, so we went down thinking he wanted food or something. But he just told us the burner needed more wood as it was just embers.

He's ridiculously intelligent. He watches us doing the gardening and last summer, when we were planting bedding flowers, he watched us and then dug a hole were he wanted one in front of his favourite catoflauge shrub. He checked the size and dug it deeper until it was the perfect size.

We take him for walks at night, too.

Some people are going to find that ****ing weird.

Not me

I've taken in apparently stray cats before, knowing full well that they may officially 'live' with neighbours. But if a cat decides to move out, the neighbour can get stuffed. Cats vote with their feet

My cat used to walk to the petrol station with me at night to buy fags (i was buying fags, not the cat).

That's wicked. It's great when they take you for walks. {The fox has even joined us a couple of times cos we put food out for him, and before PP moved in, we were putting cat food out in the garden. The then adolescent fox came in through the gate halfway down our garden the wall. The plate of catfood was by the back door and halfway between them was PP sitting under a chair. The Fox looked at the food and looked at PP and waited. After a few minutes, PP somehow gave him permission and the Fox inch past and went to munch the food. When he finished, he turned round and pushed himself against the wall so he was a far away from PP as possible, and walked away with his nose and his tail on the floor, making it clear he was being submissive and he was grateful for PP letting him have his food in his space. So a couple of times when we've been taking PP out for a walk, if the now adult fox is about doing his nighttime rounds, he'll join us for the walk, but behind enough to the side, keeping a respectable distance.}

We cut hinged windows in both sides of PP's cardboard Cottage yesterday. So he can hop in and out through those if he wants or we can use it to put our hands in to stroke him. We were giving him Licky Licks on a teaspoon. We have the spoon just outside one of the windows, and he put his head out up to the neck and lick it. As we took the spoon away to squirt more on, he took his head back inside the cardboard Cottage. And then when we bought the the spoon to the window, eat pop his head out again and keep licking.

I'm so glad you get it, P. If your cat walks to the petrol station with you at night to buy fags then it's clear the pair of you are totally sound.

Our neighbours are really happy that PP has moved in with us. It was about five years ago now. When some months later, they found the glw stroking him on our doorstep, the lad said he could see how happy and in love with us he is. So they're cool about it. Apparently, he was the runt of the litter, and the Mother cat and one of her other kids kept attacking PP. And they had two dogs. That's why he started moving into our garden, because he wanted somewhere out where he was safe.

He totally filled our lives with joy and made us more in love than ever.

PS - the glw thinks it great that your cats walked to the garage with you to buy fags and wants to know his/her name and your other felines'.

PP gives us tail strokes all over our bodies - flicks his tail to tell us to come and get a stroke. And he sings in snorts - different rhythms made up of different numbers of snorts, of different lengths and pitches and different snort sounds. And we have to copy him exactly and sing it back to him.

So you'll be stroking PP as he strokes your arms or face or give you slaps and we snort duet with each other. Every now and then, we'' do a double take and think "this is ****ing mental."}

We only go to the park opposite late at night to avoid dogs and generally people. I've got to head to and she's got a handheld one. And the three of us will go out for nighttime strolls well over half an hour long. He had a second walk last night, sitting outside on the doorstep saying he won't come back in until we take him out for another walk. So we have to give in.

If one of us has got a bit far behind, or if the glw and PP have turned a corner but I haven't, he'll stop and wait, or come back to heard us up.

That was my old cat that used to walk with me-Ramona. Named after the Ramones

We got her from an animal shelter because we had mice. She caught three the first night she was with us and the rest scarpered.

Brilliant cat, clever as hell and absolutely adored people. She used to sit on the garden wall at night waiting for me to come home from the pub and would run down the road to meet me.

There was an arsehole across the road who had this huge dog sat in his front garden who he had trained to bark at black people. The cat used to go and sit in front of the gate and wind him up

These days I have ragdoll cats. Very different. Pure breeds who expect the very best of everything.

Neighbour has one, great big fluffy b?stard called Magnus, he?s almost too approachable. It?s as if someone?s messed with his primal instinct to climb a fence to avoid potential danger. Great cat though.

That's mental. All our mice have gone since PP arrived. If you have a cat you have no mice.

All cats like the best, imo, especially once you give them a taste.

PP will sit and wait outside when we drive off at times - cos he's there waiting for a walk - but as we don't have a front garden, he won't come out to meet us.
