After this greeting the poor bloke doesn't know what day of the week it is let alone whether its day 1 or 2.

To try a serious approach.
How about confessing to the true purpose of your short stay ?
It's hard to believe that you come here out of curiosity alone, even if you have an old cat.
There's a thread somewhere that moves along those lines.

A good question Ancient Brit
The short answer is that with Natalie departed and with a modest refresh on the horizon, I've been drafted in to give Sam a helping hand in increasingly busy times.
Hope that helps!

Watch this, Tav - it's a persiflage on McEnroe's behaviour:

I'm not completely bonkers yet -- not quite, though close -- but Fluffy Pink Rabbit is, and I'm hoping he won't find his way here. Then again, he probably already has.

Fluffy Pink Rabbit. (Remember that polyester has feelings, too) Posted Sep 10, 2009
As it happens, there are carrots here, so of course I found this place.

My daughter got me a fridge magnet.
It says "I'm not a complete idiot...
Bits of me are missing!"
Anyway, who says we're all bonkers?
Who says it's not just *everyone else* who has problems...?
Nobody heard of Wonko The Sane?

Careful with those flames - there's a fluffy pink rabbit around here somewhere - and there was Kea with her feathers here earlier.
Have you had those checked by Health and Safety?
