@rufustheduck Hrm... so somewhere like East Leake, Melbourne, Coalville, Birstall, Thurmaston, Kegworth, Syston, East Goscote. Ish!
@greem bingo! Coalville. I'm classy

@rufustheduck Hehe. When I first moved here in 1990 as a student, people told me all sorts of horrors about Coalville.
Some of them turned out to be wrong š
I moved down here from an old steel town so I understood what the good people of the town had gone through - and that under the blanket of deprivation there were mostly good folks, just struggling to make ends meet.
And now, ok a lot of them are with Amazon, but there's a huge number of jobs there.

@greem Sheffield? Because I lived there in the late 90s too
Coalville in 1990 was a very different place. There were still a couple of working mines

@rufustheduck Nah, Irlam - between Manchester & Warrington. At worst in the early 80s, the unemployment rate for 18-55 ages was somewhere in the region of 30-35%. It was pretty grim.
I worked in Leicester from mid 93 to mid 97, which is when Coalville reached a real low point. And then I worked in Corby, before moving back to Loughborough.
It seems that I had something of a penchant for former industrial towns.

I put multiple bells on his collar to make sure birds and mice can hear him coming
Now he's so loud, I can usually tell where he is, even when he's streets away
But I think he's annoyed because I made him look like a Christmas tree and sound like Santa's sleigh
@rufustheduck Maybe he looks pissed not because of you but because of his BLOODY TINNITUS!!!

@greem so Coalville reached its low point just as I left...? Sounds like they were mourning the loss of their favourite son

@rufustheduck Careful, I tried the bell trick once upon a time and it merely honed his skills to an obscene degree. That cat became Death Incarnate, unseen, unheard. Once caught a squirrel.

Please, please don't put bells on the cat, his ears are suffering. It's torture...

@voler I appreciate your concern for him, but this was the vet's suggestion. And he only wears it when he goes out for a couple of hours each day. I take it off the moment he comes in

@Feralhousewife fortunately, he's lazy and kind of clumsy. So I'm hoping.....

@antanicus l'ultima volta dopo l'eruzione del Eyjafjallajƶkull
subito prima il produttore di un device nerdoso linux based aveva detto qualcosa come āse non succedono catastrofi tipo erutta un vulcano settimana prossima ci arrivano [per via aerea - nota mia] gli ultimi pezzi e iniziamo a montare e spedireā
dopo le notizie sull'eruzione lo stesso produttore ha dato i numeri vincenti della lotteria
ho provato a giocarli al superenalotto, ma evidentemente erano la lotteria sbagliata
se dovesse succedere qualcos'altro del genere, farĆ² un'altra giocata
