MY KITTY!

edit: you're beating up one of your own, potter. My cat has black fur and green eyes like HP himself (though hair, not fur). How very dare you.

You should buy him mini round glasses. awww that would look so cute.:marchmell Then take a picture and show us!

I'm so tempted nooni! Although the last time I bought him clothing he wasn't very impressed. It was a mini knitted jumper with bobbles on it. Tried to commit suicide by falling off the unit.

Unless you strap a slice of buttered toast to its back, butter side up. Then it just spins in mid-air forever.

Is anyone else addicted to Deal or No Deal?

What's the deal* with Deal or No Deal? I keep hearing about this programme, but my knowledge of it is similar in magnitude to JD's of jigglyball (before he played it, that is...)

dyu HSOG peeps still have to go to school??

Yuppi. Ish. No classes or anything obviously, just fun stuff. And less-fun stuff. And the prom, and prizegiving etc.
I feel kinda committed to doing most of it though, even though there's little they can do to stop us turning up. I've been at HSOG for 14 years now! Can't quit afore the end...

I swear I've never heard a Scottish person say 'och' - do you actually say it???? :eek:

I say "ach" quite a lot, as in a sound of disappointment, but that's it (though I have been known to say "aye" on occasion, usually immediately followed by "What's all this?"...)

*See what I did there?

hehe friendlyneutron i saw in Accessorise they were selling dog cloths, but I can never subject my dogs to anything like that! Anyway their furry enough-don’t need cloths. Not to say i am not willing to experiment with some sunglasses and a camera.. :rolleyes:

meh, i watch it with my mum sometimes, when i watch an episode i usualy have to finish it, but i am not addicted so to speak :p:

Although i bet i would watch it more if they took away the fake drama of the banker and that stupid phone. Oh and if noel edmond didnt annoy me so much...

I love Deal or no deal...I agree that holding hands is taking it a bit far though.

yeah neutron, raging at old headie. i really hate people who think u cant leave scotland or ull die etc. there are only three people in my year (of 200)who arent going to glasgow/strathclyde/caledonian universities. i think thats quite sad, tbh. luckily my current headmaster is really good and helped me a lot with cambridge, wouldnt have got an offer if it wasnt for him i dont think!

deal or no deal reminds me of camb! i watched it after my girton interviews! dont understand it tho :rolleyes:

ahh HSOG school doesnt sound too bad. least uve not been replaced by the fifth years as we have who r already prancing about like the own the joint. we already had what it sounds like ur getting- ie amusing talks on finance, "relationships", and we had some on bioethics, abortion, euthanasia (oh SO BORING....a priest did that one and we wondered if we took his collar out he'd lose power and stop talking).

i wish i could buy my cat clothes but she suffers from obesity and if we put a collar on her she growls and crawls around the floor until we take it off. *sigh* wis i had a proper cat.

I think deal or no deal is really cheesy, and really just based on luck, theres hardly any skill involved

I find it hilarious when the person opening the box seems to think that they know what's inside it. Especially funny when they give advice based on it and it's wrong. :rofl:
