Hona is an acquired taste.


Would you like to acquire him?


p.s. Personally I would like to keep him as a pet, in a cage naturally, feed him, buy him new sandals or a new dufflecoat occassionally, and, in return, for his bed, board and cage he would entertain me all day with his amusing anecdotes, vivid vignettes and fabulously fertile imagination.:)

Your contributions are always welcome Ted Max but, we both know, Moos is more than capable of speaking up for herself, I'll await her response.


Obviously, regular users of Internet fora are aware of ambiguities and misunderstandings that can arise when a comment is made so they, often, use symbols to avoid the chance of that occurring, but as this has not happened this time, I agree it does appear an "either/or" situation as you suggest, which is why I would like some clarification from the authoress of said remark.

Haha, brilliant, really? Other users of internet forums find that certain comments so very much speak for themselves as not to require unspeakable emoticons. (still others of us find emoticons so hideous that we try to make our language speak for itself)


I wouldn't dare speak for Moos, but have to ask, seriously Tony???


And on the subject of brain fritters, I'm hungry. Anyone got any going spare?

I found a supply of cucumber relish in a pound shop in Brixton, actually it's gherkin relish by your old favourites Branston.

It's not as good as the Bix's cucumber relish which has disappeared from the shelves, it's a little too vinegary, the Bix's stuff had a nice sweetness which offset the saltiness of bacon just right.

And now I come along and find it being recommended as a condiment to accompany fried portions of my brain.

Stone me, what a carve up.

I'm having second thoughts about TLS's offer now.

It's going to have to be a very good offer, that's all I can say.

I've known many respected, intelligent Forumites be misunderstood on various Fora over the years, as some comments can be intrepreted in more than one way.


As you know it happens in life too when someone tells someone "they were only joking" ..other times they make it clear they were not joking at all.

Oh Tony, come now, you can't in all earnestness think that Moos might be accusing you of keeping people in cages?


Unless, unless, oh my, has she stumbled too close to your little secret? Come to think of it, where IS Moos, she's suddenly mysteriously very quiet...

The thing about cucumber relish is maintaining the textural integrity of the cucumber, against the mush-inducing salt and tang of the vinegar and onion. I have no idea who or what Bix was, but if they managed that in a commercial product then I mourn their passing as I would that of a friend's beloved aunt that I have never personally met.


But rethinking this, given this is your brain we're talking about Hona (85% rock 'n' roll, 15% "something in the rag trade", 5% Peroni) I'd recommend something milder. Perhaps a soothing raita.

    • Please rescue. There are plenty of kittens waiting in shelters for a loving home. Try reaching out to https://straycatclub.org.uk/ You can also find an endless list of shelters down below: https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-rescue-centres-uk-ireland You should be vetted to ensure you can provide a suitable environment. Unlike breeders, shelters ensure kittens have been spayed/neutered, microchipped & recieve their vaccination.  
    • hellosailor, I feel you on this one. People continue to breathe life into the misconceptions that cats are low-maintenance, natural wanderers or that they can't be prevented from accessing a road - all of which no doubt contributes to these harsh measures. Shelters would do better using their position & platforms to educate rather than applying blanket rules that alienate potential adopters. It does sound like there are inconsistencies in the way Celia Hammond operates. I know of people who have adopted despite not providing a truly suitable environment for their cats. Personally, I was heartbroken to learn that two of the kittens that I had fostered, after being adopted, would later go "missing" on a regular basis. It's a stark reminder that while safety precautions are crucial, overly rigid policies may push well-meaning people toward buying instead of adopting, undermining the very mission of rescue organisations. TWB has taken the initiative to lead by example, teaching clients the importance of mental & physical enrichment, & having policies in place to prevent, for example, the dangers that come with giving cats access to the streets. It has become far too commonplace to see posts regarding cats who have been run over, only for the owners to adopt & repeat the cycle all over again. If shelters could provide insight on why these measures are in place & solutions, these shelters would not only free space within their shelters but educate the public & the overall standards of responsible pet ownership in London. Celia Hammond is a charity most are familiar with, but there are so many others listed within this link; https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-rescue-centres-uk-ireland An up & coming charity that is not found in this link, that deserves an honorable mention is https://straycatclub.org.uk/  
    • Looking for a new member of the family.  Will be looking into cat resuce centre's as well before anyone mentions. But my son is in adoration with Kittens and would like to bring one up from a young age. If anyone has any leads, they would be most welcome. 
    • I'm not suggesting that the staff are not good people, it's a fantastic charity to work or volunteer for and what they champion and advocate for is super important. It's great that you had a successful adoption through them and really good to hear that you had a positive experience but I was relaying that anecdotally the many people I know who have tried to rescue a cat from them have been turned down. I myself tried to adopt from them a few years ago and they nixed my application when I said I lived on a road which cars go down. They didn't even do a home visit, that was enough to rule us out. Hopefully things have changed since then to allow more animals to find a loving home.
