Not sure about the Russian escort they've set you up with.

I suspect its a reaction to one of the tablets I'm taking, its listed on the information sheet that comes in the box so thats the starting point for a conversion with the doctor when I can get in to see him.

I have just bought my road tax for the mini, £20. I could have paid direct debit at £1.75 a month, I thought I could get away without spreading the payments.
The tax on the Suzuki Swift I just brought is £30 a year, a big improvement on the old Hyundai I had, that was costing me £152 a year in tax.

I dunno - Poppy will thump *me* if she thinks I've stepped out of line.
She's an opinionated (read toilet-mouthed) tortie with 'tude, and has perfected the tortie stare over the seven years she's lived here chez Casa Reynard. On the other hand, she's one of the most affectionate cats I've known, and I often wake up to her cuddled up next to me under the duvet, purring her head off - one of the best ways to wake up of a morning. 
Mind, a friend of mine has a tortie and white. This cat will walk into the room and bite you - she's a tiny 2.9kg of pure tortietude.

Umm, not quite. There is no genetic slip up - and it's quite simple really.
Brindle torties are far from rare.Firstly, the gene for white spotting (S) is independent of other genes for colour / pattern. A cat is just as likely to not have white spotting as having it.
Tortoiseshell colouring is sex-linked and only (other than in some very rare cases) occurs with female cats. This is down to the fact that the y chromosome is too small to hold any genetic information for colour - colour genes are only found on the x chromosome.
Hence, a male cat can either only be orange (O) or non-orange (o) i.e. ginger or not, since as an xy, he only has a single x chromosome.
Female cats have two x chromosomes and therefore have two sets of genes pertaining to colour.
For a female cat to be ginger, she must have *two* copies of the O gene, one on each x chromosome i.e. she is OO
If a female cat only has one copy of the orange gene, i.e. she is Oo, then she will be a tortie of some description, with the non-orange part of her colouring being solid or tabby.
And if a female cat has no copy of the orange gene i.e. she is oo, then she will be black or tabby or some variant thereof.

I'm not sure Reg can offer much to April, she's not his type.What if April does not like it.
She told me she prefers champagne.

I eat right handed, but use my left for drinks, so I have to reset my place at table when eating out. So I always make it a point to sit next to Mrs. GA on her right, as she is used to this arrangement.

Right, time for bed. If I can get into bed, that is. A certain pair of furry girls seem to have taken it over.
Off to do my CP volunteering in the morning.
