The Bear says: "If I growl in the forest, the animals run and hide and the undergrowth quivers"
The Lion says: "If I roar in the jungle the animals scatter and the tree-tops shake"
The Chicken says: "If I cough, the entire world shits itself!"
Those pesky birds must be having a right old laugh at our expense.
Animals and strange weather
Ever noticed how bonkers cats and dogs go when it's really windy? Cats either run around after themselves, probably in the belief that something is nipping at their tails. The result is a high-speed circular chase as the animal tries in vain to catch the culprit.
Snow is quite good fun too. Cats try to do this thing where they run run along and dive into it, the snow flying up over their heads as they skid along, paws in front of them. They look a bit like furry snow ploughs.
Dogs, on the other hand, run around, trying to catch the falling snow in their mouths. This little chap happened to be playing outside when the snow came down heavily yesterday afternoon.
He wasn't sure whether he was having the best time of his life, or whether he was a bit fed up because he was getting cold and wet (and confused). Still, it was fun to watch.
Anger
Nothing has happened to raise my blood pressure much today, apart from a session at the gym and a few dickheads on the road on the way there. YAY!
I'm having takeaway for my tea (lamb tikka jalfrezi). YAY!
The sun is shining (for now, it'll be setting soon). YAY!
I've figured out how to change the attributes of blogger header description. YAY!
All is well with the world... except my sore back, the cold weather, Tony Blair being an utter wanker, my clothes still being a bit too tight.
Ho hum.

Yay! I'm first!
Right. Now that's out of the way I can comment more meaningfully. The last time I declared myself first, someone nipped in before me, claiming my rightful place!
Umm... What was I going to say?
Joke made me snigger.
Like the new look.
Yay for normal blood pressure.
Is one of those statues Jebus?
That is a very funny joke. And those are lovely shots of St. Peter's. What a good start to the day.
Nice new template. The links etc aren't coming up tho'.
Snow is most restful when indoors.
I am considering buying a .22 rifle to take out pigeons, seagulls etc. I never did like them much. Bird flu gives me an excuse to have a pot shot or two.
Happy days.
What links aren't working? Give me more information to work with for goodness sake. You mean the sidebar content? Can everybody else see the sidebar?
Sorry IDV. Yes those are the statues of Jesus and the errm, his mates, on top of St Peter's in Rome.
I was up there in September 05. There was a really scary apocalytpic storm when we got to the top of the dome. Can't think why...
Ahh, I see what you mean Garfer, the sidebars are shifted down when you view the page in Internet Explorer.
I'll have a look at what I can do.
Right, I've figured out what it is, but I don't think there's much I can do about it. I don't know why things appear in OK in Firefox and Opera, but go tits up in IE, but there you go. Wait until Monday and it should go back to normal.
Why Monday? Well, you see that Last FM chart thing, where "Prince and the New Power Generation" is lengthening the box? Well it's that that's causing the trouble and it'll switch over on Monday to my most listened-to tracks of this week.
SLACKER? Why, I've been out earning money today, missy sniffer!
On a SATURDAY? I suppose your "clients" insist on you doing as they wish for the money. Makes you sound a bit like a prozzie.
Pimp my IndianaJones
Anyway, you like my page now or what?
I do. I use Firefox, as you know, so see nothing wrong with it at all, at all. And I work 6 days a week, if the work's there to be had. And no, I don't do as they wish; most of my clients haven't a clue as to what they want. If they did they wouldn't be calling me.
Your clients wish you to meet their IT helpdesk needs. In much the same way as a prostitute's client knows what they want as an end result, they sometimes don't quite know how to get it on their own.
It almost killed me when I was working 6 days a week over the summer and autumn last year. Then again, I had to get up at the crack of dawn and I bet you don't have to drag yourself out of bed before 8am. (just KIDDING! I know how some of you Americans have no sense of sarcasm.)
I'm not sure why IE doesn't correct that that sidebar thing, but it doesn't surprise me.
This American is getting tired of being reminded that she's an American. It does get old. The Internet was to make us all a global race, wasn't it? One mind with many experiences, something like that?
Ta ta, dear. Enjoy your ... erm... Britishness. Be comfortable among your own kind. It's best.
See, and there you prove my point! Ornot???
I have the sidebar problem too but am using IE.
Like the new look though.
Try it again in a minute... or switch to firefox.
