This is a question This book changed my life

The Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.

What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?

Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

The cat's mind.
Understanding your cat's behaviour by Ben Fogle.


God! this book has been a blessing. Now I can tell what the shifty little buggers are thinking.

You should have just asked me...
I know what cats are thinking.

It's like that shockingly poor Mel Gibson film. But starring Kaol. And cats.

Oh hell
I could have saved you the money. They think "Where's my food?" and "My litter box is dirty!"

Other than that, they don't think. At all.

Hmmm...
Whenever I come across one it seems to be glaring at me thinking "Kill. Kill. Kill."

Don't be silly.
We all know they spend all their time planning to overthrow the human race and make us their slaves.

But I'm on to them now. Their not going to get me because *sings* I know what their thinking.

@CHCB
Don't be ashamed. Join our merry band of social outcasts and Merkins still at work.

Thank you. It's good to keep busy.
Current fella is playing a gig miles away; current-ex is going to let me know when he reaches the pub; soulmate is elsewhere entirely.

I have friends, but they all seem to be ill or visiting family.

the horsey one who looks like he's stolen Prince William's DNA?

I am chatting with the Loon.....again.
I must stop giving these Americans the wrong idea about British Women.
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:39, closed)
^Different Ben Fogle.
This one is a registered vet and cat expert.

^ Alt least you have friends...
*cries bitterly*
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:40, closed)
I can't speak as a British woman
but I can speak as an Irish one. We're filthy.

Kaol, we're your friends
now put down the knife and we can have a nice comforting group hug.

You mean you're not a sex-mad bisexual nymphomaniac with lots of hot like-minded friends?

@CHCB
The Loon.


See what I mean. He thinks were dirty girties. It's nothing I've said, honest!
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:50, closed)
You don't
*have* to say anything...
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:52, closed)
^
the man has a point.

Oh, er, about that point - could you maybe tuck it discreetly away...?
(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:53, closed)
Re: Point.
Meat or metal?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:54, closed)
Heh!
both.
(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:55, closed)
Oh...
That was a knife and a bundle of cable-ties in my pocket...

Not that I'm not pleased to see you...

@Kaol
We don't do anything so it must be something we said.

Can't for the life of me think what it is *looks wistfully upwards*
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:58, closed)
No...
I mean...

Your signature doesn't imply anything...
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Fri 16 May 2008, 21:06, closed)
@Kaol
All my sig implies is that I have a sense of humour *grin*
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Fri 16 May 2008, 21:09, closed)
aha
current-ex and his friend have phoned. I'm off to drink cheap wine in a shite pub. Have a nice night, y'all. Don't do anything I would do.
(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Fri 16 May 2008, 21:10, closed)
Oh...
See, I'd go for pizza, I'm not a fan of having a penis in my mouth.

EDIT: Have fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't...
