My prediction for 2019;

Puritanism, under the direction of Big Brother, will intrude even further into the lives of GR posters.

Except, we have no flaming idea of which newspeak is acceptable nor which will incur the wroth of s/he who reports.

When there are no rules, make your own up and change them at will :-P

Like I've said GR can't have the rules they already have because they don't follow them....they should only remove comments IF they are offensive and after explaining why it's offensive......usually they just hit the delete button as it's quicker :-)

Well Allan it's for us to all carry on regardless :-D :-D

Maggie, the photo is actually upside down. I seem to remember another thread where someone had a problem with the avatar being displayed upside down, but in this case it didn't seem to matter much, so I haven't bothered investigating.

The cat is not ours but often appears and after a nose around the house, it has a sleep until it is time to go home for its dinner..

Intolerant reaction to alternative opinions should have no place amongst GR's increasingly secular contributors.

Intolerance should not be tolerated - I think! Let's all speak up & occasionally say something refreshingly unexpected.

Only fools suffer fools gladly......unexpected??

Sooooo it's not your cat Kense, so it CAN look like it's washing it's nether regions :-D
Even if it was the right side up, i think I'd think the same.
Could be because one of my cats is black and I sometimes wonder what he's up to.

The other day, whilst occupied in the bathroom, George (my black cat) ambled along the side of the bath, did a lovely 'ballet' pose with his left back foot raised and bent in an elegant way. I thought 'how cute'.
Then his tail started quivering, and I realised the bar steward was spraying the shower curtain!!

He soon stopped :-|

Dermot- did you donate your combs or your ferrets to Donald Trump's stylist?
It's an easy mistake :-D :-D :-D

Caroline, I encouraged him to stop - before the act had actually started - with no violence, just a few well-placed words not used in polite society, and a slight - though gentle - nudge.
He didn't even fall into the bath, he walked along the side of the bath with the encouragement of the diversity of the English language, :-D :-D :-D

He still loves and trusts me, but may have learnt some 'new' words.
Words I know, as a cat, he will never repeat. :-D :-D :-D

Maybe in an alleyway with the other cats one night......

Naa. he's too much of a softie to repeat what I said..
If anyone's to be 'beaten up' - it's George.
Sometimes (quite often) he insists I open the door for him (rather than use the catflap). because when I do this,I growl and snarl.
Goodness knows what the neighbours think.
Actually - I don't care
