I have always had cats, so yes.

But speculation on the unknowns can seem to become common 'knowledge' amongst some scientists.

Not proper ones!

He jumped about a third of the way up, then just climbed straight up to the top! He’s a little over three years old now and, too big and heavy for climbing concrete poles.

Pub talk, pass over the cheese and onion, thanks. Glug glug, another one?

I think you may have had enough 😵‍💫

Did you know The Beatles track from Please Please Me album "Misery" was partly written by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash of The Hollies. They were uncredited.

They are brave little things. A few weeks ago, I walked from the car with shopping. I heard a meow, my 8 year old, but couldn't see her anywhere. Eventually I spotted her on top of our bungalow roof.

Probate - do it yourself (via gov.uk website).

My dad died a few weeks ago, and an ex-colleague of his died in December of last year. I did probate myself (which isn't that difficult), and it took ten days. His colleague's was done by their solicitor - it took six months.

I'd have written this off as fluke, but when we had a preliminary valuation done the estate agent asked where we were with probate. Said we'd got it already, and he said 'Ah, you did it yourself then. It tends to take much longer if you have a solicitor do it.'

Seems daft that you pay someone to do something for you and it takes longer.

Firstly my deepest condolence for your loss, I hope you find the strength moving forward.
I wasn't aware you can probate yourself, really useful information, thanks.

Thanks - it wasn't entirely unexpected as given his health there was a big chunk of relief, if I'm honest.
