Morning,

Aaaaahhhhhh!  It's cats for me, although I do love dogs... can't have either though, as I live on the second floor. Also, I don't think Dolly would be too happy!

Sounds like people have had some fun weekends. Mine was quiet, but nice. Saturday met the bf for coffee, then we went to the geek shop.... and came out with some fantasy roleplay cards, which we played with most of Saturday evening and some of yesterday too.

Really didn't want to come in today

Morning MO - once Monday is out of the way, it's nearly the weekend.  Sort of.

Fun weekend had here and a little excitement when I had to take the house mate to A&E after he dislocated his little finger when we were at a bbq.  Fortunately I'd only had one small beer so could still drive.  They fixed him up and back we went.  Good old A&E

 Geek alert what cards?

Magic the Gathering  Was all going great until he put a pacifism spell on my badass dragon. So I decided to chip away at his life force bit by bit with a fire-slinging goblin. This is probably a metaphor for our future together

BDB - how did your mate dislocate his finger?!

Hullo Crapsters...

Nice weekend everyone?

I spent most of the weekend either walking the dog or hiding behind the camera...  Carnival and Big Weekend festival got covered.  Missed out on the fireworks cos too much cloud cover and rain, so no point freezing bits off and getting wet.  Also started a Mobile Madness set for a laugh... seems like people are on them literally all the time now...  Often when I'm driving I see bus stops with 15 people stood there... all texting or browsing.  Or cyclists texting...  I thought it might make for a fun collection.  LOL

Just traipsed halfway across city and back as wasn't informed of meeting cancellation. 

Just had work email saying they need to cut about 100 principal officers posts and are asking for expressions of interest for VS.  But the amounts have changed since I applied last year and it would be £9500 instead of £17,000 so I can't really afford it now as that's not a lot of money to keep my head above water for long...  *huffs*

  One day we will meet at a race and I can kick you arse with my comedy chicken of death card.

Just for Frodo...

Nam - too cute......did you ever think of working for a dog charity, lol - i reckon you'd get alot of rehoming done if you took their pics and put the captions to them.......though i'm a bit of a softie for dogs, so i'd just try and take them home with me......except my Westie wouldn't be impressed...

[Deleted User]

*sob*

Funnily enough, I met yet another collie-x-greyhound at the top of The Wrekin yesterday... I think that may well be what I look for next summer

[Deleted User]

Snails Pace, I'm afraid there is already someone local who is unbelievably talented in pet photography and does some work for the local shelters / dogs homes on the side, but if you're interested in that sort of photography then Poochography will put a smile on your face. 

[Deleted User]

Thanks for the link Nam - that guy is SO talented - and its really lovely to hear he uses it to help his local rescue centres!! Its nice to read good stories like that, instead of all the horrible stuff that happens to poor animals. Defo put a smile on my face

Afternoon. We've had a great day driving round Exmoor. Walk round Lynmouth and crab salad for lunch then a scrummy cream tea later on somewhere else which was very pretty.

The resident dog has arrived and is very cute and well behaved. He's an odd mix, definitely not classically handsome. No Labrador in there as he wouldn't paddle in the sea with me.

[Deleted User]

Less than 24hrs until the arrival of Barney the labrador here... poor Flash is ignorant of the whirlwind that is about descend

[Deleted User]

LOL!!!

Just back from an hour of playing football with Kara (her new favourite thing!) and general messing around in the river...

Tickled Pink

<sends tranquillisers and sandbags to Flash>

Resident dog walked. B could never play football without bursting the ball. Flash, my childhood Collie, could have played at the World Cup.

[Deleted User]

Kara loves her blue squeaky ball. It's not as big as a football but not as small as a tennis ball... I think she can also see it better than her red one on grass?? Are dogs red/green colour blind??

Dogs don't see colour the same way as we do. If I remember right it's very much shades of grey so some colour of patterns will be more visible.

Have had a brilliant time here. I soooooo don't want to go home

Bob's favourite game at the moment is chase the cat around the house without touching the floor, so they leap from chair to chair, chair to coffee table, coffee table to chesterfield and when he gets the chance he uses me as a springboard.

Unknown

How do a cat and a dog agree on a "no touching the floor" rule? I mean, they don't speak the same language!

Womble

The cat tells the dog, just by looking.........

Corinthian

The dog 'thinks' he is a cat - the cat's just being himself and won't venture onto the floor where the dog has the advantage in the inevitable wrestling match that follows the chase.

Crikey! Relationships have changed since I was last in here!

I was curious last night...  Apparently...

1. Dogs have two different colour receptors in their eyes and therefore are "dichromats".
2. One colour receptor peaks at the blue-violet range, the other at the yellow-green range.
3. Conclusion: Dogs are green-blind which is one form of red-green color blindness also called "deuteranopia".

As dogs only have two different colour receptors in their eyes they have problems to distinguish certain colours:

• Red — Orange — Green
• Greenish Blue — Gray
• Different shades of Purple

Interesting...

and Frodo...  apparently type of retina is linked to length of nose!!  http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s953902.htm
