Minty Bit Stronger

Saturday 27th October. The humans, a man and a woman, arrived at a nice remote house in the French countryside after a full day of chauffeuring me from London. I instantly caught the smell of Guillaume's mum, 'maybe this was where she was when she wasn't visiting' I thought. I'm such a clever cat because moments later I saw her and Guillaume walking to the car. Then, minutes later the carry box was open and I was free to explore... ...a few hours after that, exhausted from checking every inch of every room, I sat on Guillaume's lap and had a little nap. I think this new home is going to be fun. Sunday 28th October. Guillaume got out that stupid lead today and we walked around the garden. I was embarrassed to have to guide a full human adult around the place but this way at least he'll know the area and wont wander off. Afterwards, I led him inside and decided to sit staring at an empty spot on a wall. Humans hate when cats do this. I must ha

With the US election done and dusted I was curious to look at who wanted the Republicans to win - I discovered that internationally  speaking, it was almost nobody (except Pakistan!) Maybe surprising maybe not surprising... Enjoy.

With Christmas parties approaching every civilised member of society is now weighed down with worry: What to wear? Well, this is a question I'm going to 'skirt' around (see what I did there) and direct your attention to the the fact you could wear anything if you we're super skinny! But you're not you're a fatty-bum-bum! So don't worry about the outfit, just worry about your weight instead! Now that your self esteem is at an all time low I, like thousands of glossy magazines before me, will flog you a novelty diet to help you look like the unrealistic ideal self image you have fixed in your minds eye. So here it is:- Robert's Mega Good Guide to Drinking Yourself Skinny! Sweet Red Russian Let's start with something simple. I read somewhere that cranberries are good for something and Mary Poppins said a spoonful of sugar was good (with medicine) so mix the white stuff into the cranberry juice and then add crap loads of vodka. Easy.

So why is Africa always needing our help? Why is this continent so entrenched in poverty? Maybe it's got something to do with it's size... It's actually incomprehensibly gigantic! And what's more... The policies of western countries to seize swathes of Africa during the rush for empires led to a level an unprecedented level of chaos. We literally stormed in, robbed, raped and murdered in a desperate attempt to grow fat and rich off the continent. So, when you next complain about an African children's charity asking for donations on the x-factor ad break, remember you are living in a world built on the resources and wealth we stole from them. I found this awesome graphic online today that shows the true scale of Africa. A big country, and a big country we owe a huge debt of gratitude to. Enjoy! Posted with Blogsy
