“Kids, do the washing up.”
“No.”
“I said do the washing up!”
“No. Buy us a dishwasher.”
“Yes, master.”
“And we’re bored of tidying our rooms. Build a robot to do it for us.”
“Yes, master.”
“My books seem to be scattered all over the sitting room floor.”
“I shall hire a cleaner, my liege.”
The oldest version of this site on archive.org is from January 2003, more than five and a half years ago. Of the 42 sites on my “blogroll” back then, 15 of them are still active. And a further 4 of them were written by people whom I happen to know are still blogging, albeit at a different location.

I was tempted to reply to this with “Hi, I’ve got a 42″ plasma screen that I don’t use very often, about once a day at most. I’d be willing to give you that for free. You can have my Blu-ray player as well, if you think you could find a use for it.”

It’s working fairly well, and the absence of complicated features is an advantage, though he still hasn’t quite got to grips with the user interface. I’m really looking forward to seeing the kinds of photos that he takes once he “gets” it.

Maisy has spent most of the afternoon rolling around on the floor, sticking her arse in the air and making peculiar growling noises. This is the feline equivalent of standing in the middle of the shopping centre shouting “what does a girl have to do to get some DICK round here?”
So, yeah, it looks like she hasn’t been spayed after all then.
I know, I know, “she’s going to be so embarrassed when she grows up and reads this.”
