So, this pet insurance ..... for barbecue related injuries, do you require Third Party Fire and Theft cover?






And while we're on the subject of cats and sh*t boxes .... can all you pet owners PLEASE get your animals to use their sh*t boxes rather than treating my garden a a big sh*t box.
I don't keep pets and I really don't see why I should have to clear up after everybody else's.

I've had black ones but this time I wanted one in a faster colour.

Wouldn't be one of mine, 40 miles is a bit of a jaunt for a crap.
Though being Coventry doesn't it just sort of blend in?

Sounds like a perfect description of Harley! Mike calls her 'Princess' cos she can't be bothered with plebs like us!

No yellow one, just a heavyweight tabby and white!

What is it with bikers and torties? A friend from Edinburgh posted this pic of his torti........

He says she's full of 'tortitude'

Here's proof that the Falco's seat is very comfortable indeed....

You might think that's when you wish they were insured but there was a poster on the wall that said it costs 'from' 25p a day! Well we all know what that 'from' means, and as ours are all over 7 years it would doubtless be a lot more than that. But working it out at that rate (Mike's maths not mine) that's £90 per cat per year - £270 a year.
The estimate for the op is about £450 which is less than the cost of 2 years insurance. And the last time we had a big vet bill was several years ago. So the insurance is really not worth it.
Neither BG is a £450 bill for a cat. What is the price of a replacement cat?

Not a question a cat parson would ask. You can't replace a cat - it's like saying you can replace a child.

You can have another cat, but it can never replace the one you lost.

very unusually for ridersite and myself, i have waved the magic edit button....

things can get heated, and all are entitled to their views - but live and let live etc......

now please resume the normal piss takes and deciding which moderator should be burnt this week....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
