Bad Bonzi
Be nice, or there will be no more tins of tuna for you!
This is the second heroine today who's in a snappy mood. Sympathy pains?

World track champs
I have every sympathy for Cathy. All I want to know is if Bradley Wiggins retained the pursuit title, which should have happened by now, but all it mentioned on the news was trivia about 'friendly' football matches grrrr.
We use a live mouse trap and release the captured rodents into the fields down the lane. Last year we caught over 20 of the little buggers in a week or so. I was convinced it was the same ones getting back in somehow. I should have tried Tom's felt tip pen ruse - come back and you're dead :) We did eventually rid ourselves of the whole family. Probably our fault for living in such squalor. We were advised to get a cat but we felt the cure was worse then the disease and we'd rather put up with a few mice from time to time.
Thanks Angharad. I like my bedtime dose of EAFOAB

He did (win, I mean)
Geoff,
The World Track chanpionships were on Radio 5 Live Sports Xtra this evening and they said that Bradley Wiggins did retain his title.

PS. Nice episode, Ang. I sympathise with Cathy; I don't like rats either.

Thanks Gabi
I can go to bed peacefully now. Now about that gorgeous Vicky Pendleton - as fast as she's beautiful, I hope.

The mouse incident....
...was hilarious, had me in fits of giggles. Another great chapter from one of my favourite authors, although I still miss Jamie Curtis and her lionesses, Cathy Watts and her dormice are very high on my daily reading list. Great writing as usual Bonzi. Give your mum a nudge and remind her about Jamie & Charlotte Church.

Mouse Incident
I agree, it was quite funny. Poor Stella! What I thought was even funnier was Cathy being blackmailed by Tom to not tell about it.
Hey Furball!
Sounds like we neeed some anger management classes, or sensitivity training here. At minimum some classes on how to handle and get along with people? Be nice or no more nice comments for you. How about a nice warm, bubble bath?
A message for Bonzi
If you go on strike your liable to be shipped to China where they say you taste like chicken.Your replacement will be from India where the cats are better educated and work longer hours for a lot less (lol).Great writing as usual Angharad and I hope you have Cathy give Simon hell in the next chapter for not making it home that night.Give Bonzi my regards or a hug as I'm sure he'll not understand the taste like chicken thing.Amy

Hey Bonzi, You Mean Cat!!
Don't you dare hurt Spike!!! There, Bonzi, are you happy now that I sent you a comment? Maybe you can get that rodent that Tom caught since it isn't a dormouse. TI am sure that if y ask nicely, you can have it. What am I saying? When has a cat EVER been nice?

Typo or Commentary??
"you know the way they charge for overdafts!"
That must be a commentary on those of us who run overdrafts from time to time -- don't you know, it's called 'bridge financing'. I always thought, in Britspeak, it was "overdraughts" or does that date from the time the currency was pounds, shillings and pence and, yes, many, many years ago, I worked in a bank. Does it really show?

I think it's a good thing that there's...
... all this water between me and aforementioned cat.
But, I liked the episode. I've seen the "jump" at a mouse thing. Even when you KNOW it's there, if it suddenly moves in a whay you weren't expecting, a jump is NOT uncommon!
Thanks for continuing these! They're fun for me. (I do hope you're still enjoying writing them!)

Don't let them get to you, Bonzi
Over the past more than 30 years, it has ben my pleasure to be owned by 20 cats, usually just 2 or 3 at a time, but once, by 10, or was it 11? There were 6 dogs during that time, but none of them was as loving and friendly as the worst of the cats. Keep up the good writing.

LOL. One of my earliest memories is of being a toddler and seeing my Mother and Aunt on top of the breakfast table in the kitchen jumping around kicking plates and glasses and cups off, and begging me to "kill it, Kill it" while this little brownish gray beasty was so confused it did not know which way to go to escape. I thought, at that tender age, that they were doing all that for my entertainment, self centered little toddler I was. My Aunt retained this unreasoning fear, and every fall I had to "seal" the house, going around looking for the smallest hole that a mouse might come through and sealing it with glue and steel wool. Oh, and put out boxes of Decon. Poor beasties. Internal bleeding is not a nice way to go.

Ugh, mice, rats and other
Ugh, mice, rats and other such rodents are nasty. It has always amazed me to see people holding and handling White mice or rats, yet if they are gray, brown or black SHUDDER and run from them. My personal opinion is regardless of coloring, you can keep them all away from me. Guess that is what Bonzi if for to be a good mouse or rat catcher, eh Angharad? J-Lynn
On that note...
My brother just sent me this pic:

CAT'S PAW
I comment, I vote, just what do I have to do to keep this kitty pleased? Your story is addicting and I cannot get enough. Must dash as there is plenty more to read. 'Sika
Mice
Now they will tear up a house. I've had the pesky creatures. No mercy! Say I.
Undercover cat?
Bonzi's casual mention of Chi^2 leads me to suspect that Bonzi or her Mum is professionally passing herself off as a statistician which nobody does unless they are really working undercover for one of the government's more nebulous offices!
Add in Cathy's unexplained but well described martial skills shown earlier and it becomes clear that the mouse under the bed is in fact a metaphorical mole....... (Well you did demand comments Bonzi - sorry if I blew your cover).
I've no idea how anyone can keep up this quality of work but I'm so glad to know that there are at least 2,000 more episodes.
Thank you Ang

Things that go bump in the night
Cathy has this problem with urination, Urination ? isn't that what you Brits said to Rhodesia ? Stop It ! (that was to myself) Poor rats, always misunderstood, just like lawyers. Stella feinted, I know a gal just like that, just go squeak, and she shrieks. good fun !
