StreetMogs

Dear Reader, 

Regular readers of my blog will have realised by now that I have a certain affection for the feline kind. What I would like to share today is the significant efforts of a postman who clearly shares my love of all things feline. 

Whilst trudging through the leafy suburbs of South Wimbledon, weighed down with 100 kilos of mail, (most of which is spam, I would imagine) he would come across a members of cat-kind. He decided to cat - alog (geddit?) these encounters with a camera and a blog has emerged which is absolutely lovely. Streetmogs details his every encounter with a cat which has occurred in words and pictures. To date over 80 have been caught on camera alongside their behaviours and assumed names.

This wonderful blog has captured much attention in the media, including pieces in the The Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Metro to name but some. Following on the coat-tails of such lofty publications I have added Streetmogs to the Stuff I Really Like section of this blog for posterity.

More soon, Dear Reader x

Site Of The Month - Part 4

Dear Readers,

This site, along with it's not inconsiderable YouTube presence is a joy to me. It combines two things that are close to my heart, comedy and cats. Dogs and other animals do get a look-in as well. Mainly though, this site is about the exasperation shared by every cat owner about the behavior of their cat(s) amplified to the nth degree.

Somebody sent me the first video from this author some time ago and it is particularly resonant in our family as one of our cats exhibits pretty much all of the traits illustrated (apart from the baseball bat) in attempting to wake us up.

This first outing has managed to attract over 22m viewers, no mean feat I think you'll agree.

The website offers the prospect of watching all of the videos along with some rather cute merchandise which, having become a bit of a fan, I might have fallen for. There are also photo competitions for cat owners and all sorts of other good stuff.

It's fab and can be found here...

Alternatively pretty much everything can be accessed from the YouTube page...

Either way I hope you get as much enjoyment from this cat as I have.

See you soon dear readers...

xx

Site Of The Month - Part 3

Dear Readers,

Another month rolls into it's fat middle and suddenly I remember I have promised to something every month for your amusement. Yep, that's right another site for the month.

This time I have elected a site that is big on animation, music and crazy songs. There are also some highly amusing but distinctly low-tech gadgets to play with as well.

The creators (or at least some of them) of this site are clearly not merely English, they are Northern (with a capital N). My dear wife, Smiffy, is also of Northern origin and I assure you that they are pretty much as evolved as Southerners, just a bit different (see Coronation Street for evidence). They also have a bit of an obsession with kittens, (never a bad thing) and many other nonsenses.

Some highlights for me:

We Like Tha moon
Independent Woman (with a Northern Kitten twist)
Mickey
Bill Oddie

Have some fun in a Rather Good world!

More soon dear readers.

Site Of The Month - Part 2

All,

As promised, new month, new site. Well actually not a new site at all, it's been around for about six years now, to be more concise.

It is unusual to combine flash animation, bunnies and classic movies in the same sentence, but this is what happens when someone thinks outside of the box. What I like about this site is it delivers exactly what it says on the tin: great movies, bunnies, 30 second capsules. Voiced in a highly amusing way this site has kept me amused for years. When I revisited the site for this article I saw a news item that implied that the author was hanging up his (fingers?) after six years of quality work. I panicked, this blog post was all prepared goddamnit. Good news is, someone has made him see sense and there will be more bunny flicks in the future.

Some of my personal favourites:

The Shining

Star Wars

Pulp Fiction

Smiffy, my dear wife, would not forgive me if I didn't at least nod at Harry Potter 1 and Harry Potter 2 (the bunny movies) which slightly confusingly covers the first five Harry Potter films but doesn't give anything away about the new ones for those of us who refuse to read the books.

There are oodles more just waiting to be enjoyed. Tell me your personal favourites and I may set up a league table (or something).

Anyhoo, hope it makes you happy.

Have fun dear reader. Goodnight, and don't let the bunnies bite.

Site Of The Month - Part 1

All,

A new idea of mine is to share a site that makes me laugh or cry. I figure that if I like it and you like me then you might like it it too (usual caveats apply). I will tag the post accordingly depending on it's content... some will be funny, cat related or whatever else comes to mind. I will also create a links section so you can access these sites directly from one comfy area.

OK so here comes the first. I started to recieve some hilarious viral emails regarding a gentleman called David Thorne and his issues with the world, normally in the form of email trails.

Having looked into this it appears that Mr Thorne is well know Australian blogger whom I have much respect for. To get an idea of what the man is about and why this makes me laugh follow this.

I will publish the the site link in a new links section which I have added to the site labelled Stuff I Really Like.

Enjoy, dear reader.
