Ah, I'm glad Bookworm. Make sure you have a say in husband's rota though so that he can babysit for the next EDF drinkies...failing that, get your mum down again!!;-)

I had a lovely time... chatted to all sorts of tip top forumites, the penultimate highlight being meeting CitizenED's wife for the 1st time...

we made each other really laugh, brilliant... thanks V

the ultimate moment was that I only had one G&T and then went 'soft',

so as I left I thought 'no hangover tomorrow, hooray!'...


ps LegalE... you are looking fab... keep up the good work

Hee hee


I managed to get some (admittedly not very sober) forumites to say that I look like Gillian Anderson, so I think I did quite well out of the celebrity looky-likeys on Friday.


Although, come to think of it, she is about 15 years older than I am. :-S


Also met some very nice new medical forumites recently moved from Dublin, caught up with old friends, cleared up respective misconceptions with brum, got bought a drink by charliecharlie (thank you!) and snaffled a DVD, so it was a good night for me.

You didn't 'snaffle' a DVD Moos. You were lucky enough to borrow a digital tome from my famous collection.


Snaffle indeed.

It was a fun night on Friday, although as always I didn't get to talk to nearly as many people as I wanted to. MrJ and I also spent a while chatting to the charming new forumites from Dublin, whose names I can't for the life of me remember *waves*


Moos, darling, you're much more lovely than Gillian Anderson and younger and taller.


And I'm a fan of the beard..... although maybe that's because I had a bit of a thing for Grissom in the early days of CSI:-$

Friday was an excellent night. First one I'd been to in a while and a bloody good turn out it was too. The Guinness was flowing and there was plenty of fun to be had.

Chatted to quite a few people I hadn't met before or can't remember meeting before and most of the usual suspects and people I've made good friends with.

I have to agree that Moos is far better looking than Gillian Anderson and the very lovely LegalEagle-ish is looking especially fabulous in her new found sobriety (well done that girl).

Also have to say that I think the beard rather suits Sean Mac. It gives him a very distinguished man of letters look and an air of sophistication not that he's ever been lacking in that department. Smart move. Keep it.

Whew, until I read Jah's post I was under the impression that Moos had grown a beard, which I think would look a little odd.


And don't go saying anything bad about the lovely Gillian, she can do no wrong, plus she's only five years older than me!!

I bet there's a special place in your heart for Dr Beverley Crusher isn't there? ;-)


This really made me laugh. She really was a personality bypass with her big cow eyes through which the back of her skull could be dimly made out. Did anyone see that episode when Dr. Bev went to do did some kind of space aerobics with wassername the telepath with the hooters, both of them wearing thoroughly unsuitable space leotards? Hilarious, and obviously intended to be a bit erotic but in fact about as sexy as Blu-tack.


Am I off topic?

Very serious indeed. I've heard that some of the things said in newspapers and the television aren't true either, but I don't believe that.


I'd say from my not-very-in-depth brief glimpse in passing on a dark evening in Piccadilly that she's about 5ft.

    • 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.
