of course the crap gets flushed right away! i mean changing it after it's absorbed as much urine as possible. i'll check on the price. since my corner shop doesn't carry it, i get masses of it when i manage to get the car.

We had litter pearls but found that due to the nice smooth spherical shape when the cat managed to scratch some out of the door of its crapper they rolled across our laminate flooring far to easily. The upshot, we were for ever finding the little buggers stuck to our feet in every part of the apartment. Oh yeah, it was expensive too and dpoesn't clump round shite so you have to see/smell it as you scoop. Not nice.

My bleeders like to roll around in their (fresh) kitty litter and kick it out the door after a dump. They also have to stick their head through the flap so we can admire the looks of concentration on their faces. Charming.

Your male mates 'protect' you from any man that tries to talk to you.

The second your guy friends step away for a drink or a wee, the other guys attack, though.

I just loved getting flanked by security men when approached by a stranger - so funny. (Ian was there last night when his mates were told to stop talking to me! Quite amusing!)
How do Turkish guys instantly know a good guy from a bad one? Or are all bad in their eyes!

Why can't they have these security guys walking down Istiklal? They would be so convenient!

They would find that a turn-on. Remember, a lot of village guys raise sheep.

Oh and another thing - honesty! Last night Mike was invited to watch the footie with our security blokes. They said, ''Mike you have 3 problems - your cats, your Turkish and your weight.'' I was glad they didn't say me!

 I have very fond memories of London
I have very fond memories of London ... people were very helpfull when they realised I was a tourist ... once a cap driver drove us home for free ,becacuse we had missed the last bus ... we did not have enough cash so he gave us his card and said we could leave the money at the station the next day! I also had a greet time at the London Carnival and I will never forget my breakfest (uuuuuu I have forgotten what do say for these little places where you can have tea and bacın and eggs etc???) yes I had bacon and eggs a lovely mug of tea ... yes I did have bacon you can tell everyone ha ha I will never forget that little black boy who said that he had fallen in love with me and that he would drive me around when he had grown up! I guess he must grown up by now maybe it is time to go there again !!
