Not Stoked.

Had to have our 19 year old cat put down. She was an awesome, tiny little thing, so friendly. Except if you were a cat, she never had much time for them, just about tolerated her brother when he was alive. But she was a terrifying banshee who would just run full pelt, maximum attack mode at any cats however big stupid enough to go in her garden, never saw one do anything except turn tail and run.

When we adopted the other two idiots we have now she made it pretty clear she wanted nothing to do with them but Chomp just never gave up trying to be her friend and eventually somehow got under her skin and she’d let him curl up next to her and even give her ears a lick.

Anyway RIP Fid, we’re all gonna miss you.

19! Well done that cat. Rip your fur friend. Sounds like a good buddy

Sorry dude, losing a pet sucks, can’t imagine what losing one thats been around nearly 20 years would be like, I was devastated when we had ours put down at 2.

Sorry to hear this man.
Have a glass of nice whisky in honour of her.
RIP Fid.

Baby has a cold/teething so Ive been up since 3AM. Not stoked at all

How am I in a relationship where I’m not the moody one?!
This is clearly karma for all my miserable years.

This might have been mentioned already. Sad news that he passed. RIP. Comedian Norm Macdonald dies at 61 from cancer - BBC News One of the best

Commiserations. I can still smell the warm diarrhoea our dog used to leave on the landing when he went incontinent in his old age.

Better that stepping on a dead bird your cat brought back as a present during the night. Last time it made this horrible noise and that was the first thing that happened to me that day, straight out of bed. :man_shrugging:

Not sure why I read that while having breakfast. Damn.

6 months later - DM sent!

Signed up for this pub pool team when drunk and they’re going to be mad if I quit. It’s the same night my friends go skating and I think that’s healthier. Feel like it’s an ego thing, because I’m a decent player and I get a boost but not sure that drinking environment is a great idea. Not sure why I’m venting lol, but it’s something that’s been on my mind for ages.

Go once and play so badly they ask you not to come back. Then you are free to skate. And next time you see them in the pub, you can hustle them with your secret skills.

What Mick said. Free time is precious, use it wisely.

hahaha I like it!

Surely all pubs know that something like only 15% of drunkard people that sign up to any pub team actually commit to it?

Last time I saw my friend to go skating he was like haven’t seen you in a month and it was because of this pub pool. Made a lot of friends through skating whereas before it was mostly drinking friends I had so would be sad to lose that. Thanks everyone.

Yeah sack the pool off. Don’t even go and play badly, just be firm and say nah. You can play pool any time, skating is way harder to fit into a schedule.

Am redoing our bathroom.

Plumber came and took out all the old bits and it’s ready for the Tiler to start.

Tiler has no petrol and can’t get to a garage so we’re stuck with a bathroom with holes all over the walls.

Wife looked in the bath this morning and there’s about 100 mouse droppings and 4 of those massive house spiders.

I’m ok with it taking a bit longer since we have another shower but wife is freaking out as she has a mouse phobia and cannot deal with unfinished work. Somehow it’s my fault too.
