Her sister is called Hercules -- a cat called Hercules (name that tune). The cat and dog shelter wrongly sexed Hercules...

Or they were of the woke persuasion?

Apparently it happens more times than not. It could have been they were desperate for me to take two kittens. I figured Hercules would not know the difference and probably thought of herself as something else in Cat. We have friends whose dog Hamlet is a she. Again wrong sexing but the dog like our cat has no idea of the social construct.

Yes. I should know better than to attribute any motive to that which can be explained by ineptitude of one sort or another. And the uber consideration: If the customer is happy, it's all good. A happy new year to ya!

I don't know why people don't go for the SNAFU as the first option rather than going to the ulterior motive. Basic incompetence works on so many levels.

And a happy new year to you as well.

Hello Northumberland! Good to see Ya.

Glad to see Baroness Falkner's move and Sex Matters' lawsuit.

The article on the Senegalese was disturbing.

But Fraser Nelson's article on Britain's greatness and values was enheartening.

Persephone and Paddy look great. Wishing them, and You, Happy Holidays.

And, as always, TY Michelle.

And because this should make you laugh -- because otherwise you'd cry -- the police are still recording nonsensical NCHI -- this time two school girls calling each other names on Snapchat. The incident report read -- the school has dealt with the name calling.

YOu did think they didn't have actual crime to investigate... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/26/derbyshire-constabulary-non-crime-hate-incident-snapchat/ or https://archive.ph/GQA1E

Michelle- what a lovely way to end a hectic day - though even with a cup of tea, some things were ugly & heartbreaking, while others uplifting & informative. Wishing you & your adorable companions an upcoming year of brimming with blessings — the jump from the FP has been quite a gift that keeps giving— I have met so many truly incredible people with interesting & inspiring stories. 🙏
