Birthdays and death days and stabbing big lizards

Firstly, a happy birthday to my most excellent and beloved four legged housemate who's four today ... well, yesterday now... and is as brilliant, slinky and precocious as he's ever been. Top form, that cat.

And a passing thought to Boozing Boris, the Russian bear who died on the 23rd of April last year. I've had a glass of voddie for him.

And finally, good old St George. I don't hold much with this religeous sainting malarky, and the French obsession with it in particular. But St George is a good old boy, they sell the beer in Willys at 1.49 a pint on his night. Let's all make it as popular as St Paddy's day I say; let's drop the price of quality beer even further, enough of that black stuff !
