Its a fib

40's when you are able to start wrapping things around a few times as opposed to being able to tuck 'em in

Nah...50's the new 30!...If you're going to commit grand theft you might as well do it big style! (mentally at least!)

RIP Roger Lloyd Pack: Fine actor and tireless campaigner for peace and a better world

His talent as an actor was not in doubt, says Lindsey German, national convenor of Stop the War Coalition, nor was his humanity and commitment.
It was with very great sadness and shock that I heard of the death of Roger Lloyd Pack today. He was a very good friend of many left wing causes and I was privileged to meet him on a number of occasions when he helped the Stop the War Coalition and later the People's Assembly. He was always extremely helpful and willing to back a number of campaigns.

Most recently he was involved with the No Glory campaign which challenged the government interpretation of the First World War, and with campaigning against austerity with the People's Assembly, where he attended a number of our organising meetings.

Roger was a well known actor who, like a number of his colleagues, saw the importance of speaking out on wider political issues - derided in the media as left wing 'luvvies' out of touch with the realities of everyday life.

In my experience of campaigning this was the opposite of the truth. The celebrities who back campaigns which challenge government policies do so usually because they feel that their abilities and talents can be used to give a louder voice to the people who are directly suffering from these policies. Roger was extremely modest and very much part of the campaigns which he supported.

His talent as an actor was not in doubt. Nor was his humanity and commitment. On behalf of Stop the War I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him.

R.I.P. Dave.

Looks like I have responsibility for another cat. I've been feeding another of the local ferals for a couple of weeks over in the park. It's been getting friendlier as time goes on and tonight it showed up at the van. Ms knob weren't best pleased when I walked in with a dirty scraggy cat in me arms and fleas popping all over the place So much so I had to put it back out but Ms knob has agreed to getting it back healthy ( it has cat flu I think, is seriously underweight and riddled with parasites) and maybe then we can have it in the van
I've called her, Scrag. Cos she's a filthy dirty wreck of a cat. But utterly beautiful.

Gizmo

I've another feral friend that me and a mate have spent the past few months befriending. I may have already mentioned him (his name is Slink) here. He's now an awful lot healthier and happier. He'll never be a pet cat but he knows which side his bread is buttered now. When I first tried to pick him up to check for fleas he managed to slice me about 20 times before I even realised he'd moved He still doesn't like it but will tolerate it if food is involved now He does all that cat brushing your legs stuff and that now and loves a scrit behind the ear

OMG!!!!! My last cat was called Gizmo......he got ran over while sleeping under a car when we were living in Devon......still hurts to think about it.
