My Nieces Favorite Story next.

My sister in law gave me a call from town to say her cat had escaped from a box it was going to the vets in and could I help urgently. I had a long history with Rupers the cat as it had been for many years the general family cat. I went down with another temporary cardboard box (which turned out to be a big mistake) and quickly grabbed the cat from the other car and set off the half mile back home. At which point the cats head burst through the cardboard and sat looking at me.

Seconds later the entire cat exploded upwards about a foot in the air - and I just managed to grab him by the cat carrying spot on the back of his neck. At this point I noticed the cat was copiously weeing inside my shiny new sports car which I owned way back then.

I then looked up in a state of shock and had to use all my reflexes to avoid running into the car in front. I came within a hairs breadth of having to get out of my car in the middle of town holding a weeing cat to explain to another driver why I had blatantly run into them.

However, having avoided an accident I managed to put the cat in the box and drive the few remaining yards to home.

It took a lot of cleaning and many months for the leather seats not to smell of cat wee….let’s just say I have never transported cats again without a wire mesh cage that was also then placed in a litter tray...

Hollywood for once greatly toning down the violence levels...

In smaller doses they get very hyperactive – and flirty. And they get less choosy about their partners as well. Give them a larger dose and they just pass out." ........ Sounds pretty much like humans then!

There is often something funny about a strident online comment that is obviously borne out of someone’s personal comedic frustration. In the comments about an early version of Farcry (or something similar) someone posted saying “…whichever Developer thought it was a good idea for the AI to chase an injured player RELENTLESSLY across the map!” Just gave me a vision of a deeply frustrated player limping for miles across the game map while a group of dim-witted AI enemies follow slightly behind taking pot shots at him! Talking of player frustration, reminds me once I was playing the online game Battlefield and was lurking in the bushes near an enemy base with explosives hidden next to the road. Along came an Anti-Aircraft vehicle whom I promptly blew up and then set up again. About 5 minutes later the same player (now Respawned) in the same vehicle came back, and was clearly looking intensely around and especially carefully at the road and the fern under which I had hidden m...
