    is that a pill or a suppository? Either way it looks painful for the cat.

  2. Peter Thompson Says:

    hang on, wasn’t mary the mother of christ?

    I know you’re an atheist andrea, but I would have thought a little biblical knowledge might have seeped in somehow… Did you not every star in a nativity play?

    god bless you my child…. for that you are forgiven :-)

    Thank you, V. :-)

    Pete - I did indeed star in a nativity play, in the role of ‘Joel The Stable Boy’. I think that’s why I’ve had an aversion to having a short hairdo ever since.

    in terms of getting the title wrong: my only defence is that a) it’s a turn of phrase, an exclamation I’m sure I’ve heard; and b) I am indeed an atheist. therefore I know no better.

    Surely you could have turned it into Billy Joel the Stable Boy (or Unstable in his case).
    One of my proudest moments as a concerned father was the folowing dialogue with my son

    Phil: “You know, that guy. Joseph’s son.”
    Me: “Do you mean Jesus?”
    Phil: “Yeah, that’s the feller.”

  7. Andrea Says:

    I was too young to know about Billy Joel. unlike you ;-)

    Maybe Joseph was just very Oedipal…

  9. Peter Thompson Says:

    ooooh, get you. I’d never heard of Billy Joel til I was well past nativity age.

  10. Peter Thompson Says:

    oedipal schmoedipal :)

    My nephew was born 24th December. His name is Joseph. His siblings still call him Jesus.

  12. Peter Thompson Says:

    our head of department’s in-laws are called mary and joseph, which gives his wife a fair amount of clout in the relationship obviously

  13. Rachel Says:

    She must feel a little insecure around this time every year though

  14. Peter Thompson Says:

    well, only temporarily. She just jeeps bouncing back.

    Oh, I have just realised that the multi-vitamins are for you and not the cat! I did wonder how those tiny cats swallowed those big pills.
