Colonel Meow, the most famous long haired frowning cat on the Internet has died.
His human, Slave Beast, posted the following notice via Tumblr yesterday:
Colonel Meow passed away yesterday evening. I will post more about the details when I’ve had a few days to grieve. Thank you so much for your understanding, Minions. Your love and support has meant the world to us both.
Mmf.

Audi’s entry in the Superbowl commercial race – the frightening consequences of bringing compromise into the world (and why the A3 doesn’t, yadda, yadda).
Further to last week’s ‘issues’.

Can you check if anyone else, due to be paid yesterday or today with their company using Ulster Bank as their payment transfers, have been paid? Two days after I should have been paid no payment has been made.
Anyone?

For the weekend that’s in it.
Saturday, February 20th, 1982.
The year of the “big snow”, Delorean’s bankruptcy and multiple General Elections..
Scotland travelled to Dublin intent on putting an end to Ireland’s run of unbeaten matches in the 5 Nations Championship.
Awaiting them, however, was a team containing Ciaran Fitzgerald, Mike Kiernan and the Ollie Campbell’s canny right foot.
Ollie remorselessly booted, tapped and dropped-kicked Ireland to its first ‘Tripler’ in 33 years, scoring a then individual record 21 points (in old money).
The following Monday’s Irish Times reported:
“Anguished large Scotsmen deep in alcoholic melancholy littered the streets of Dublin on Saturday night, a sight for bleary Irish eyes.“
Any excuse.

All this, and Marty Whelan talking about his new hair transplants. It’s too much…
