Doh! Sorry, I have a brain like a sieve at times. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿซฃ So we have! I love seeing fluffy cats, but am a bit scared of the maintenance levels they require. Does she moult a lot? ๐Ÿค” Haggis loves a brush, but not everywhere - mostly her back and sides. I think it's related to the brush bristles, though.

Oh my word!! What epic floofiness!! What breed is your lap warmer? ๐Ÿ˜ป

She loves tummy strokes, but not too many... that floofy belly is so tempting, but we keep it to a minimum, for her own comfort. Her favourite scritch areas are the back of her head, and near her tail, but again, like the belly, not always. She's an adorable chunky miss, and a real cutie. ๐Ÿ˜ป

If your Sunday doesnโ€™t look like this, you're doing it wrong...

My girl, Haggis, chilling like a pro!

Will Corey Landowski be servicing, oh sorry, I mean will Mr Landowski be in service to Mr Mullin, and have to fetch his "blankie" sex toy go bag when they fly off into the sunset? ๐Ÿค”

I don't think she's left completely, but I do know she's back in her old stomping ground over on ๐Ÿฆ.

Oh, definitely!! The UK was/is terrible for kidney donation prices at motorway services, too, so learned that lesson a long time ago!! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Yup, have definitely noticed Shell is the worst of them, with BP not far behind. Thankfully my need to drive is minimal, but my partner has to drive to and from - it's madness for him to take an assortment of buses and S-Bahn trains for over an hour for a twenty minute drive. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿซฃ

So, we suck it up!

Oh great, over 20 cents a litre more for petrol. Just what the world needs!! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ™„

And this particular Tankstelle is one of the cheaper ones in the wider area of GroรŸ-Gerau, the area where I live. Shell charges even more! ๐Ÿคฌ

Well, I'm only just seeing it now as I'm in the middle of Germanifying my accounting qualifications, so am learning all of the HGB regs, and that's when ยง comes in handy!! ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Does Mizz Mensch not realise that Christianity exists in Iran, albeit heavily restricted? If the Pope wants to express concern, why shouldn't he. I'll bet it irks the US regime that Leo is not "one of them" the way they'd like him to be!

When I say "own key" I mean rather than me going into Word and digging through symbols, as I had done previously. Must admit I'm feeling a tad stupid right now! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Me, today, discovering the beloved ยง (section symbol) found in much of German legal/bureaucratic literature has its own little key on the QWERTZ keyboard.

Yup! My sister (with British passport) lives in Ireland with her non-EU family as it was too expensive for her to settle in the UK at the time. So they went to Ireland, and have now lived there long enough to apply for Irish citizenship. Hilariously my sister will then be disadvantaged re: EU FoM. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Yes, I'm aware of that, but their relationship with the UK is unique to that of the rest of the EU/EEA (see also dual nationals, CTA, etc.). My partner is Irish, so we've often had this same discussion, while I'm Norwegian and had lived in the UK for almost 20 years when the referendum was done.

๐Ÿ˜ I like simple! I tend to agree, but when I lived in the UK, people would argue that spring began on the equinox date, and I'd say either works, but they were adamant! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

That's not to say that the frost won't be lurking for another month or two... so planting needs to be carried out with care. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Happy March, everyone - three weeks until we get longer evenings! While spring is technically here, I know many don't consider it so until the clocks spring forward.

Gorgeous sunshine here, and my Easter cactus is looking gorgeous!

This!!! Especially concerning the referendum... it boiled my piss that Irish & Commonwealth citizens could vote on something that had no direct affect on them, but EU and EEA citizens were not allowed to vote, and essentially it was our presence that was being objected to, thanks to FoM inwards. ๐Ÿ™„

Or, here's a thought, Nige... you and your rancid racist friends aren't as popular as your Twatter army say you are?! ๐Ÿค”

The trouble with being in an echo chamber is that it's all echo, and no substance, just the same shitty rhetoric bouncing off the scummy walls of empty (incl. bot?) minds. ๐Ÿ˜†
