This is crazy...

...the cat asks to go out and, wait for it, expects to be let back in in 5 minutes or so!

And I'm daft enough to do it!!!
Cheers, HG

Good job you don't have a dog they HG.

Can't you fit a cat flap?

Not really,

It's big and stripey. They found it in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Sounds like a perfectly normal cat who has trained his human pet well.

Why is this called *Another* pointless thread?

Is there an original pointless thread lurking unloved somewhere?

Hooray, the sun is shining in East Anglia.

Either that or it was intended to be ironic....

We do have a cat flap, but unfortunately the cat is too fat/old/ignorant to use it...
Whatever my Dad's got in the house...

I'm told that waving the cat at the cat flap doesn't work either

Spent the equivalent of quite a few bottles of Grouse on an unmentionable item of photographic paraphernalia today. Just need to find the adapter to take me collection of K mounts.

Sorry folks - this is a RANT !!

Got forms in today for renewal of my Driving licence - so hunt out the Paper bit and the Photocard.

Log onto the Govt Site so I can do it online - oops never used it before so go through the hoops - Licence number , NI number, Passport number , how long have I lived at this address [ that took some finding I can tell you ] etc etc .

Everything went well

UNTIL

up came the wee box telling me that as my passport is more than 5 years old I'll need to have a new Photo !! And my flaming Passport doesn't expire till 2016 !!

I'm right royally cheesed off - instead of a free renewal , this is going to cost me a set of piccies


GRRRRRRRRRRH

At least it is only a set of piccies. And you can probably use the spares for your passport in a couple of years time, unless all your hair drops out.

It costs me €37 to renew my driving licence, plus photos, every 10 years.

My passport will be up for renewal in 2015 - and that will cost a fortune too, as I now have to send it, registered mail to Durham (was Paris until recently!) for renewal, and it can take up to 6 weeks to get it back! I used to send t to Amsterdam and have it back in 4 days. It will cost me at least 150 quid too .

At least as a bona fide photographer you can always take your own pics.

I did and no one complained.

As you're providing one on-line you don't even need to print it out

I tried that for my son for his ID for the Olympics last year. Followed the rules to the letter, great photo, matched all the requirements. It was rejected, and he had to get some piccies taken. They looked the same as mine, but were clearly "proper"passport photos. Grrr. He only just managed to get his clearance in time as a result of the rejection.
