Any chance you can get Von interested in hamsters instead?

I wish.....

She won't even let me have a pet 'taranshlia'....I would call it Oswin. ;)

Sorry to hear about the Pony Phil

That is a lot for the drugs.

When our cat died peacefully in its sleep I thought Mros Orcs would want to have it cremated about £70, but no she wanted it buried in the garden.   Took forever digging a suitable hole deep enough.

I found it and I should have quietly put ut in a bin bag in the wheelie bin and pretended it had run away.  ;)

Might have worked ..... if Mrs Orcs believes in zombies.  Or Saving Throws.   :)


p.s. @ Phil: Oswin's a good name.   :D

I found a big leech in the garden, when we used to live in the SE of England.....I kept him in a rain filled wheelbarrow. (Not for long, I stress.)
He was called Oswald.  :D

I would have called him "Archibald".

But then again, I'm a Cary Grant fan.

You OIK !!  ;)

Talking of 'names'....I wish 'they'd' give storms/hurricanes 'nasty' names......The current one battering the States.....'Harvey'......Just sounds completely wrong.
Best of wishes (and luck) to any of our friends in that area....Looks more than bloody frightening !

Orcs

They used to give them womens nams which I thought appropriate, but apparently this was sexist so they now give them names of both sexes


Q: What do women and hurricanes have in common?

A:When they come, they're wet and wild, and when they leave, they take your house and car!

Do we really want hurricanes called "Ming the Merciless," "Houserender," "Destroyer of Worlds" or similar?

Don't panic! Don't panic! "Landblight" is coming! Stay in your houses!
