That is still the case
And therein lies the difference between legal and moral obligation.

There are three great loves in my life - music (in particular XTC), Cricket and my pets.

I'm listening to Drums and Wires, watching cricket and playing with new kitty.

Beat that, MoFo's.

XTC?
As in 'I'm only making plans for Nigel'?


Raises glass to poor kitty. May he rest in peace.

Yes, that XTC.
Making Plans For Nigel was one of the worst things they ever did but it made them a LOT of money. So they - well, Andy Patridge - could go on to write songs like The Disappointed - hence my username.

Pippin (deceased) was a lady kitty. She's in the first page of my profile (I think.)

I miss her, but Pippin 2 - possibly needing a new name - is keeping me busy.

I was raising a glass to undercovercarrot's cat but I shall raise a glass to Pippen too.
I'm sure I had one of XTC's albums many years ago but my addled brain can only remember that one song.

Edit - now I have that damn song in my head.

As Joe Hill said - "Don't mourn - Organise!"
(My other passion - the IWW and American Socialism - in other words how different the world might have been now.)

Pippin (the first) died happy.

I cried my eyes out when she went, and I miss her a lot, but now I have Pippin 2.

She loves affection, she sulks when she doesn't get it, she's playful and fun.

And this is very entertaing cricket.
