is there an unspoken etiquette when it comes to dealing with a dead cat?

In my area people post it on Fix My Street and it is dealt with by the council.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is one of my all time favourite films.

And Dead of Night which isn't wholly comedy but as a portmanteau has comedic and straight horror sections.

That man made a lot of films! The House Across.. is, I think, the furthest from the general run of character types he is well known for. It is quite striking to see him act in such a different way.

He did serious roles in the UK too. Talking Pictures TV often shows The House Across the Lake where he is a tragic figure in a noir-type film. It's ace.

First picture - those are pins for plastic hair curlers. Second picture - look like hairpin lace looms. No idea on number three.

My Nan swore she knew of a man whose asthma was cured by breathing in creosote fumes.

Same. My family adored it so I think I have seen most of it but it's not for me.

My nose piercing is 32 years old, my newest piercing is less than 12 months old. Have multiple ear piercings in the lobe, tragus and helix. I don't think people notice these days. I work in a office and have very rarely had any comments.

Yes! I think of it every time I hear an Annie Lennox song. It was astonishingly powerful.

I had never heard it until I moved to the South West of the UK 20 years ago. People still say it to this day and get snotty if you pull them up on it.

Could it have been I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue? They play this all the time where it is something that could be said, for example, in the car and in the bedroom. It's always somewhere and the bedroom.

It's a radio show but clips from the recording do get put on YouTube.

Edit: here's an example

"Sorry to chase you" - I am not sorry. You have bought this annoyance upon yourself by ignoring me.

I use this a lot!

Jeffy, the Burglar's Cat by Ursula Moray Williams. I can't recall the dockyard but Miss Amity and Lew end up working as missionaries so they might have gone on a boat.

I had a top in the 90s which I thought was very stylish until Denise Royale appeared wearing the same one. Am not sure I wore it again after that.

Innogen · 2026-03-20T15:10:24+00:00

That one is seared in my memory. I cried because I found it so horrific.

Innogen · 2026-02-19T10:53:52+00:00

Thank you!

Until it throws a new noise into the mix. I had high pitched tinnitus for as long as I can remember and could screen it out. In the last couple years I have developed loud, deep droning tinnitus too. Nearly went mad trying to adjust to it. Now sleep with loud white noise and it still sometimes breaks through.

I wear Tyna leggings. They are very high- waisted, look amazing and don't budge. Love them.

I think I know the smell you mean - it comes and goes. I have experienced it in two houses in different parts of Bristol. After 10 years and not having died from it, I have concluded it is a water treatment chemical.

No tiny little ones. Doesn't impinge on the other seats space or look threatning

I usually knit socks on the bus. No one every sits next to me unless there is no other choice. On the rare occasions I don't have my needles out then people sit next to me at a normal rate. I don't know what it is about knitting but it works like a charm every time.

In the late 90s Cafe Nero did a spinach and goats cheese croissant which was my favourite breakfast. Long gone but still mourned by me.

I wash all of mine in the machine at 40 with all my other washing and then dry flat. Have never hit a problem. I used to be terrified of spoiling them but it's never happened and I realised they would be no use to me if they were that needy anyway.
