Identity Crisis
Posted: Saturday, 08 April 2006 |
The Manse Cat has been upset by a few invaders in his life, first of all there was a ginger tom that negotiated the cat flap and ran amok in our office. He valiently stood his ground until one noisy confrontation and then ran for cover under our bed.
The red-alien was subsequently also frightened and left a rather pungent odour all over the books and furniture in the office in his efforts to find his ball of string to take him back to the cat flap. Regular shaking-and-vaccing has just about elimnated most of it and The Manse Cat can now enter the office to take up his bed on our desk without the aid of an oxygen mask.
Having got over that indiginity he found that someone has stolen his blogging identity. He suspects it may be the husband, but neither of us have caught him at it. Still he feels he has to now distance himself from that identity and re-launch himself under a new name.
He was toying with the idea of 'Funky Feline'. Since the operation at the vet he has been acting a bit funny, but even so I think it sounds a bit too feminine. any suggestions are welcome. He's thinking of applying for a passport in the near future, so would like a name that would look good on his ID card.
As for my attempts at health improvements...well the exercise is increased from walking to the office (I work from home!) to running the 50 yards down the corridor. It's not much, but as I've lots a few ounces, it must be working.
The exercise videos are still gathering dust, so an afternoon dusting them, must be worth some more calories. As for watching them - well let's not get too enthusiastic.
The football training starts on the 28th, so I must increase my jogging distance to 100 yards before then, so will tie my suspenders to the banister before attempting to get to the office. The resistance training will be very beneficial.
I hope all the organisers and participants of the Fank are now in remission from the build up and can cope to settle down for a while before next year. I salute you - I'm desperately sorry I missed it, but the husband hid the car keys and tied down our wheelie bin with a large chain.

Cheap Flights - Do you have your form yet?
Posted: Wednesday, 12 April 2006 |
Verily, I heard tales of distant folk on larger isles called Mainland who had recieved messengers from the Cheap Flight Sooth company with forms to the fore.
Us poor neglected folk in the smaller islands have not been blessed with such forms and, after much grovelling to the local 91热爆 Radio station, they revealled a contact number to relieve me of my woes and feelings of neglect.
Beware, you, too, may be under the false impression that this blessing would have been poured upon us all by mass mailing techniques without favour to the more populated areas.
May I share this number where upon a friendly wifie on the other end will send you a form, bearing in mind the effect of Easter holidays on the postal service, as soon as possible.
I've been banned from giving you the phone number, but the link for the website should be on 'my links', where you can download the forms.
May you all be truly blessed at this Holy time.

91热爆 News Regions - Highlands or North East
Posted: Thursday, 20 April 2006 |
Well, the 91热爆 has decided to make the News website more relevant to local areas - hurrah.
However, while scuba-diving (don't like surfing) round the various sites I found that the Northern Isles is covered by North East (and Northern Isles), but there's also a Highland and Islands regions too, so does that mean after Island Blogging has united us isles-dwellers, the 91热爆 want to separate us again? We should know.
There's a couple of nice young men who introduce themselves as local reporters for the two areas...
Steven MacKenzie http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4766102.stm and
Ken Banks http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4617700.stm
Do you think news of the Fank has brought out this talent from the 91热爆 ready and willing to do whatever is required?
Could this mean Island Blogging takes longer to update? IBHQ, we need to be reassured.
PS
would it be possible to add the Island next to the blogger title? If you come in from the full list it's not easy to work out the residency. Just a thought.
