Black cats of all nationalities are welcome :) The charity that declared the day is from the UK, but the idea that "black cats are beautiful and shouldn't be overlooked" is worldwide :)

According to the best school playground scientists of the time, opening a packet of crisps upside down (i.e. so the branding/writing is upside down, and you open the bottom of the packet, at the top) actually "made you gay".

It wasn't just gay if you did it, but it would literally cause a spontaneous eruption of gayness in whoever did it - who would be permanently gay from that point onwards.

In the 1990s in the UK, it was gay to wear a backpack using both shoulder straps (as opposed to using one strap over one shoulder, which was the heterosexual way to carry things to school).

Should we make that the new community logo/banner?

I genuinely didn't realise that! It looked like they were missing, and just had the little nubs underneath.

Would you perhaps like to imagine they were missing, if only for the sake of my previous comment? :)

How often do you write the word "wads"? I can see a potential problem.

Okay, so I've just realised I've been pronouncing this wrong.

So I've been pronouncing it "chit in", probably as above - perhaps halfway between "chicken" and "shit in".

Apparently it's pronounced "kite in".

Not that it's a word that crops up too much, but I've almost certainly made other people say it wrong too :(

A very interesting and well-written post.

Excellent news.

It may simply be the photographer/scanner used, or when it was taken. For example, ones in public ownership in the UK tend to all be photographed for artuk.org (the link is to other paintings by the same artist), with pretty consistent guidelines, so they all tend to be fairly consistent with each other in terms of colour, brightness, contrast etc - although ones taken as little as a few years ago may be completely different in visual quality. Ones in private ownership, or overseas galleries may be done with completely different lighting, settings and colour reproduction.

All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They're all brothers about 2½ years old.

The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.
