You know, all threads drift. It's the same if you put a group of people in one room for a natter. Relaxed conversation tends to go all over the place.

It's back to memories of the way John Tams talks and tells stories, how he goes off at tangents all the time.

Some people adore driving down the motorway, straight roads, no turn offs, nothing to distract from getting to the destination as fast as possible.

John loves to take the country lanes. He takes you to look at the flowers, drops into the villages, he gets out and talks to the post mistress, has a drink in the pub and make the journey relaxed and enjoyable, with laughter and warmth along the way.   

John rambles and it's a bit magical the way he does it, but somehow, nothing gets lost, only added to.

There have been many very funny and witty exchanges in this thread, from Tam as much as other people, and I love to read threads that are filled with wit and good humour.

Yes, if you're trying to discuss something serious then it can be irritating I guess, but I think Tam started this thread with more than a little light-hearted humour, alongside the genuine questions.

You can't have a whole pile of cats and kittens together without some very funny things happening. Some will scrap all the time, but most will play, chase each other round, behave in the zaniest of ways, run up the curtains, over the chairs, skidaddle into the garden, dash through the litter tray, then end up purring on your lap, looking at you with huge eyes, filled with love.....and you can't help but smile.

I much prefer the BS threads because they're filled with chuckles, from amazingly clever minds which spark brightly off one another, as old friends always do.   I'm totally addicted to the Below Stairs Cats and they've added to my wrinkles no end, luckily making them all go upwards with smiles. :0)

Just a few of the naughty cats (Joe's in blue) :0)
