I came across this archived story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4692039.stm and thought it worth posting here (someone may have seen it before).

lots of jam, strawberry, gooseberry, plum ?
Talking of cats. When I last got a "new" cat, it took me a long time to think of a name for it. So this time, I thought I would get ahead of myself and think of some names. So I have decided on the name Spot. For those non-Star Trek ppl on here, Spot was Data's cat in The Next Generation.
So tomorrow when I go and try and find a second cat, I will need to find one with no spots at all!
I was hoping for a dark grey one, but there are not many of them about. Did see a gorgeous Black kitten, with eyes like saucers 
, but she was already reserved by some one else.
Butter and/or whipped cream with that?

I think Hong Kong Fuey's cat was also called spot. Your pussy will have distinguished (if fictional) antecedents.
If I ever get to name cats, I'll call them Claude and Zaphod.

I have just picked up my cat's ashes from the vets. Orange was a very apt name for a ginger tom.
My other cats are:
Kat (a big tabby wouldn't answer to anything else)
Fizzy (a female ginger the colour of the fizz on the top of a cola)
Maggott (a long hair tortie who was supposed to be called Miranda but ended up being Maggott as she was a maggotty tart of a cat).

We had cats when I was a nipper. Sooty and Sweep, then Lucky, and finally Dandy.
If and when I ever have cats, I have three names ready and waiting: Catso (a rude word in Italian), Caliban, which would be probably an ugly ginger tom, and Zinzan, all black, of course!

I always fancied having cats called crankshaft and camshaft.
Tonight is the last show and M will be there. I have developed a cough from excessive deodorant spraying in the dressing room irritating my throat.
The director of the next show heard me singing and reckons I have a good singing voice. Guess I won't be able to avoid singing then.
It was a good show, first that wasn't a full house, probably due to halloween.longers said:

Sorry to hear about Orange.
Now where'd I put my mug?

I have specially brought in some new mugs. A Kit kat one and a Toblerone one. Which would you prefer?

Does anyone want a parkin biscuit? Freshly baked by Baggy. Slighty crispy, on account of our oven being a tad temperamental, but very tasty.
