Text of the page (random words):
we had no choice but to leave him in a cattery for a few days when we came to collect him his bed was wet and he was clearly stressed again as we were now in a new area we kept him inside until he acclimatized and took him out of the house on a lead to get him used to the area something he disliked intensely once we were happy he was settled he came to love it and could often be found sitting on a rock or splayed out on the ground in the winter he would disappear upstairs and sit in a small box in the attic where we put a blanket and at night he would push his way into the bed and lay down beside me or moreoften with his bum in herself s face the first time he was properly ill was when he suddenly started having manic episodes and would lash out and bite a hand or run around crazily it turned out that he had a thyroid problem and he had to have radiation treatment meaning we had to keep him seperate from us for ten days after he came back then last year i noticed some blood in his urine and we found out he d been hiding stage three kidney failure there are only four stages from there we tried him on specialist foods which he ignored and had to start him on diatry supplements he began going off his food entirely and we had to put him on more pills to stimulate this and dull the pain this worked for a while and we even got to the stage where we were lessening the doses for a while but then the pills started having less and less effect and last weekend over the bank holiday he refused even chicken and tuna which he would usually enjoy when all else failed we took him in on bank holiday monday and the vet gave him some medicine but the effect was negligible and so on thursday we took the decision not to make him suffer any longer we are now for pretty much the first time entirely cat less but our house is surrounded by his things and his memory we will always miss him x posted by don t feed the pixies at 03 46 3 comments monday 29 march 2021 movie review x3 whilst the cinemas have been closed there hasn t been much chance to watch any blockbusters other than on the screen and no one has been allowed to queue around the block to our house to watch a film due to social distancing so you could argue there have been no blockbusters at all but here s three films we ve watched on the iplayer recently love and mercy flitting between 1968 69 and the mid 80s this tells the story of brian wilson genius songwriter of the beach boys at two very different points in life paul dano plays the young brian at the peak of his powers as he pulls out of live performances to concentrate on the studio work for what will become pet sounds and john cusak plays 80s brian a man who is clearly not in charge of his own life both eras are well played out the scenes in the studio creating good vibrations are a particularly high point and there s just enough eerieness in the 80s scenes to make you aware there s something horribly wrong paul dano is excellent and john cusak gives good levels of john cusak angst if you re at all interested in music and popular music history then i think you ll like this sylvia gwyneth paltrow and daniel craig star as sylvia plaith and ted hughes in the story of their tempetous relationship as plaith struggles with depression and feeling outshone by her husband to create her works not a cheerful film this but an interesting character study although i did feel that the film was very much geared towards showing plaith s instability to the point where not being previously aware of the story i wasn t sure if hughes s philandering was all in her head i think that having read up on the two since i d like to have seen something more balanced and that got under the skin a bit more but in general it was a good film rush daniel bruhl and chris hemsworth play rival racing drivers niki lauda and james hunt respectively in the story of the twos rivaly in formula 1 in 1976 again not being a big fan of sport i wasn t familiar with the story but i did meet the real life james hunt he presented me with a camera as a prize when i was a kid and was aware of his playboy image so i was interested to find out more the film is well directed and as it progresses you become aware that the two drivers had a lot of respect for each other despite their distances the race scenes are exciting enough for someone with no interest in f1 to be drawn in herself really enjoyed it as well and neither of us are sports fans definately worth a watch what have you been watching posted by don t feed the pixies at 03 39 1 comment wednesday 17 march 2021 accordion to you about 12 months ago give or take a week here or there i went to a live music event for the last time i didn t know as most of us didn t that this would be the last occasion of going anywhere much for the next year or so infact the event itself was very much a precursor to another event my friend s folk musical i have to say that i hadn t been previously aware that you could have an entire musical written in the style of folk music but if anyone can do it then kf could one of those people that you know who is just annoyingly talented and nice with it so that there s nothing you can actually get grumpy about as a lesser talent but the point of this story is that one of the people making up her band was the wife of a friend who plays accordion now if you re not a musician then you may not be aware of the following equation n 1 this mathematically speaking shows the correct amount of instruments that you should own where n what you have now and at the point during which i was watching the performance my collection was sadly lacking in the accordion department to be clear here there s several instruments of different types that are often referred to as accordions hand held squeeze box often with eight edges to each side panel comprising buttons on each side as often used threateningly by salty sailor types before they launch headlong into a forty verse sea shanty about mermaids larger instrument usually with one shoulder strap and buttons on both sides usually used for cajun music where moving the bellows in and out creates a different sound the basic piano accordion which is the one i was looking at these sit on both shoulders with a strap make the same noise whether going in or out essentially a loud screech to the untrained ear with a piano keyboard for the right hand and buttons for the left hand to extract sound one has to squeeze the bellows in and out press the bass buttons left hand and play the notes right hand whilst somehow still singing said forty verse sea shanty the amount of buttons available varies from instrument to instrument from 8 to 120 as does the amount of piano keys from around 40 to requiring two people to lift from the floor it is quite the hardest instrument i have ever tried to learn a fact that has not been helped by the fact that three lessons in we went into a national lockdown and have been learning via zoom lessons ever since where the sound is deliberately set up to make everything other than human speech sound like a robot from 80s science fiction programmes i m also having to learn the bass cleff in music in order to try and fathom out what buttons my left hand should be doing and there has been much use of fruity language since we started but i am now able to play a broken version of green green grass of home a dodgy version of tennessee waltz a version of dirty old town in an uncertain time signature and a version of i walk the line that sounds like it just fell off said line and it s only taken me a year still it was something to do during lockdown where i ve found myself with lots of time to practice and no reasonable excuse not to what new skills have you are you learning posted by don t feed the pixies at 09 02 2 comments monday 8 march 2021 right that s it i ve had it oh grow up i utter a deep sigh of dismay not just for the original comment but for those people who ve chosen to respond and therefore fallen into the trap you ve probably seen this yourself if you re on social media and have joined any kind of group forum page and i have to wonder why most recently i ve seen this on a page i joined for musicians of a certain age a talent competition for original songs with a closing date of end of february 2021 at first everything was all very friendly a bit too friendly maybe and then as the competition closing date neared it started i m not happy with this group complains impotent of norwich i posted a funny thing and it got deleted why are we being asked to make a donation cries saddo of westward ho and yes that does exist i m off and then it starts people who should be old enough to know better start making snide comments back buying into the argument and creating an atmosphere i ve had this with various groups i ve been in a sculpting group a comedy show appreciation group a pop star s page and just recently i ve started to investigate a bit further on the last few occasions i ve seen this the person who posts the original bomb immediately leaves the group so they don t see the responses but more interestingly when i ve followed the link to their page they turn out to have no linked friends and only very generic posts my conclusion from this along with other types of internet comment is that there are people who do this just to start a fight they seem to be wanting some kind of validation or attention in much the way that a baby might cry so my advice is if you see someone whining about a page group internet clip just report them and move on life s too short posted by don t feed the pixies at 03 07 2 comments monday 2 march 2020 the name of this band is a couple of months ago i read the inside story of 80s synth pop legends new order as written and extensively researched by former bassist peter hook aka hooky i d read his inside story of joy division the band they were previously and thoroughly enjoyed that but knew that rough times were ahead for those unaware of manchester in the 80s and 90s it was a city knee deep in drugs dance and guns where the new rave culture was in control of the local nightlife and a small nightclub was being run incredibly badly by a bunch of people who had no idea what they were doing look up the hacienda nightclub if you want to know more anyway as expected the book centered largely on hook s own battles with drugs drink and demons and his slowly deteriorating relationship with singer bernard barney sumner leading to the inevitable split in a rock n roll tale that has been told time after time and today i was watching a video of them at their height and thinking what a shame it is when people who have previously been friends can barely stand to be in the same room as one another and it got me thinking joy division were formed in 1976 hooky left new order in 2007 that s 30 years and i realised that the longest i d ever worked with any one person was around 7 years and that s the nature of working in the world you may stay or leave but the people around you will be constantly changing in a band you re pretty much seeing the same people day in day out for the whole of your career bands like the rolling stones have been working together since the 60s with only a few changes of personnel and none recently i ve always said that the creative tension that makes any band great will only last so long hooky himself has said that the arguments over the songs were necessary to make the songs better but sooner or later they can turn into bitterness add to that the strange working hours long journeys and access to the seedier sides of life and its no wonder that the pressure cooker blows and for those of us sitting on the sidelines forever hoping that morrissey and marr or byrne franz weymouth harrison insert favourite split band of choice will sort out their differences and get back together maybe we need to just let those people move on to the new better job where they can presumably fall out with someone entirely new nb i ve seen the talking heads hall of fame induction performance and it would have been better to have just let the memories alone posted by don t feed the pixies at 06 20 1 comment wednesday 4 december 2019 i walk the line there s been a lot of talk on social media recently about self service checkouts possibly not the most vital subject in the world certainly further down the chain of importance than achieving world peace stopping climate change and free asparagus for the under 5s you know it makes sense but contentious nonetheless the main gist of this talk has fallen into two categories 1 it s putting people out of jobs so you should use the manned kiosk instead 2 i m not paid to work here you should pay someone to do this for me of the two above arguments i suspect that what s behind door number two is a bit more truthful let s face it i ve been getting cash out of a hole in the wall for a good thirty or so years and have not been into my local branch for at least 15 years other than to steal one of those pens on a chain they always have thus putting many a potential cashier out of a job and now increasingly i am paying for things with a jaunty little tap or a swipe of my card and by dint of doing so presumably putting the people who fill the holes in the walls jobs into jeopardy as well this is of course because cash out of a hole in a wall or even better magical cash produced with a swipe is less of a hassle for us than going into a queue filling in a slip handing it over to a person having to make idle chit chat about the weather whilst the lady with a life savings worth of two pence pieces chooses peak time to deposit them and this is why i suspect that reason two is the truth because of course having to swipe and bag our own purchases is less convenient to us so why should we have to do it right what do we want more shop assistants when do we want them at sensible shopping times in accordance with our working and leisure needs but none of the above is my problem with the machines it s that because of their placement we british are losing our ability to queue there are many things that are despite all the evidence to the contrary known internationally about the british we re all cockneys and talk like dick van dyke in mary poppins caw bloimey muuury poppins ows yer father let s have a sing around the owld pianna we wear bowler hats and carry umbrellas everywhere and look like jacob rees mogg we re awfully polite and drink tea and we can queue like there s no tomorrow with nerry a sigh or complaint but the positioning in shops of these new fangled gadgets is spoiling this because they are usually placed in a corner that is near but not inline with the regular tills now what should happen in a fair and just society is that everyone would join a single queue and when either a machine or a cashier becomes free then you should go to that accordingly however because the line of approach is not consistent or clear you...
