Damn right. If you only knew how much I'd spent on that damn car already.

Foxes, mate. Bastards are well into the "****ting on your doorstep" season.

Nah, the foxes leave their black tar like parcels in the side alley next to the house and the garden. (along with a severed cats head the other weekend). Seems the moggies have free run of the street and front gardens on my streets 'turf wars.

This was definitely cat shat, I’ve seen my fair share at my last place - the next door neighbour had four cats that just LOVED to use my garden every day and now the new place we’ve been in since July seems just as bad, only with the foxes added in as a Brucie bonus.

Easy way to get a cat into something is to place it with it's backside to the entrance then use an empty butter tub and place in over its head. It will always walk backwards as it wants the thing off, therefore going in the carrier with no fuss! Just take off the butter tub once its in though!
I'll just go get the empty butter tub that I keep around the place.

Parsnips are awesome. Probably the best veg, especially when roasted properly. This time of year they're at their best.

People that say they don't like them are probably the same people that put ketchup on their roast dinners.

Now that is another filthy habit that really pisses me off. Wrong on every level

On the subject of veg, I cant think of any I don't like. (Except Gent's veg before anyone says it)

By the constant negativity around West Ham. I'm not talking about the fans and our opinions. I mean lurching from one disaster to the next and the constant false dawns that give us hope. Surely we deserve more than one good season every ten years. Even with a mediocre season there is some kind of farce playing out in the background (like Payet last season).

I've always felt that the paucity of silverware in our cabinet makes the prospect of adding to it all the more sweet. What's an FA Cup win to fans of the Sky 6? Plenty would consider it the bare minimum. Most of us would consider it one of the greatest events in our lives.

That said, I am f*cking bored of waiting. Moyes, I'll donate you my eyebrows if you get us another Cup win.

Going to need a complete change from the top down for that to happen. Need the cheapskate spivs who own/ run the club gone.
Remember the enthusiasm generated by the Icelandics? Well we need new owners who will give that sort of kick start to things but NOT to go bust a little while down the line!

Only West Ham could get a billionaire owner with no money. We are still feeling the affects 10 years on.

Out walking the dog before heading off to bed tonight, but about 50 yards from the house I found a Timberland shoe box with two abandoned kittens in there. They're now spending the night in the kitchen until the local shelter opens up in the morning.

I don't know too much about cats re: size and age, but they're not tiny kittens, I'd say about half to two thirds adult size. They seem pretty healthy and are friendly now that they're used to us and are less scared.

Anyway, the good news is that close friends are going to adopt the pair of them, so they're thrilled as they were looking to buy a cat or two, and I'm happy that they're going as a pair to a good home just down the road from us, so we get to see them grow up too.
