My little Kooky is gone. My dear, sweet, loving, madcap best friend of 15 years. It was very fast and very peaceful, but I can't bear it. He was the best little kid in the world. 🌈

So on top of hyperthyroid, my darling old boy has pancreaitis, a bowel inflammation and they want to scan for cancer. I'm devastated. He's been sick for 6 months now. I don't want him to go through this anymore. Hubby and I have to have the sad talk tonight. Can't stop crying.

Update on my Kooky: things were looking hopeful last few days, but he's not doing so well again now. We'll monitor him for 24 hrs & if no improvement then we will have to make some hard decisions because he's been through enough. Please keep him in your thoughts. #CatsOfTwitter

Imagine the ego it takes to think that an actual god would bother to choose pudgy, balding, cod-average, Engadine Maccas you from a population of nearly 26 million to lead an entire country. Talk about overestimating yourself and underestimating the god. It's a bit insane.

Dude! I'm an Aussie living in the UK with no skin in the game whatsoever & even to my comparatively objective eyes this stunt only made the Republicans look like petty, game-playing time wasters with no real care for the American people affected by their self-indulgent dawdling.

It really is time to stop this game, dude. Seriously. Either you believe Trump's nonsense or you know he's throwing the world's most embarrassing tantrum & you support him anyway. Whichever it is you really need to have a word with yourself. It's ridiculous.

I can't bear to listen to him speak, so only do it every few months or so and consequently notice how much his speaking has deteriorated each time. There's definitely something amiss with his palate now when speaking. He never used to have this problem. What's going on?

How could you possibly not realise this is already how it is for 51% of us?
This is what women are told all the time. All. The. Time. And then if someone does attack us it's kinda sorta our fault because we were warned men do bad things.
Sort yourselves out, men. It's 2021, FFS.

Why is an organisation predicated on exclusion even commenting on this? I see no problem whatsoever with exclusively gay rugby teams, but why is an organisation based on exclusivity lecturing others that they must be inclusive? It's just daft.

Aged 10 my sis fell from a horse. Spent 2 mths in an adult mixed-sex ward due to her particular head injury. After 1st night nurses told my parents to take turns sleeping in the chair by her because they caught 2 separate men trying to get in her bed. She was 10 & gravely ill.

I'm only in my early 50s and - believe this or not - I've said people's names wrong in the past. Hard to believe, isn't it? I've actually said the wrong name. What am I like? Imagine not having a 100% accuracy rate on all names at all times. I should be bundled off to a home. 🙄

Here's an idea. Instead of not sending women, how about we not send pervs instead? Limiting women's opportunities so men won't assault them sounds a bit Taliban-ish to me.

This is something I've been contemplating last few days. We've always said Morrison was middle management but he's not even that. His 'staff' are out of control. He hasn't been managing them at all. They just do what they like & he has to keep covering for them & cleaning up.

And for the life of me I will never get over how easily so many women were rendered giggly, empty-headed and submissive to any man in a dress telling them he knew better than them what a woman is. It boggles my mind.

Maybe if they did the jobs we pay them to do, treated us with a little respect instead of showing utter contempt by lying to us & patronising us & stopped trying to squeeze even more taxes out of us to subsidise their millionaire friends & families we might like them a bit more.

Yes. We've been too soft on those rampaging women for too long. About time someone pointed out what a menace to society they are, what with their raping & their beating & their murdering. No wonder men are so afraid of them.

I'm old enough to remember Les Girls in Sydney with Carlotta et al, when it was all about trying to pass and being as graceful and glamorous as possible, but those were the days before drag re-marketed itself as "fierce" and became all about twerking and gross-out humour.

Farmer's daughter here. Grew up with cattle. All they had to do was get some officers to line up, arms outstretched & slowly walk the animal to the nearest park/field/dead end, then get a vet or someone with half a clue about anything to catch it. This was done purely for fun.

Greatest Les Dawson moment: Shirley Bassey, bedecked in her usual glamour, walks on stage while he's at the piano. He says to her, "I thought I told you to stay in the lorry."

I'm very sorry Maya said that to you, Roger. What an awful thing to say to anyone, let alone to someone who's just concerned with their daughters' safety. Hope you're OK. I know how hurt I would be if a complete stranger said something like that to me. What a nasty mind.

There is absolutely no difference here to declaring serial rapist a legitimate sexual preference. Are you going to include them under your rainbow flag too? Gay men worked so hard for so long to stop the public conflating them with paedos. Who are you to undo all that good work?

I worked for a major airline. A lot of the hosties sold their old work shoes online to fetishists. They sold for more than they cost new and sold for the most if an itinerary of which flights they were worn on could be provided. The longer the hauls the higher the price.

What's with the enormous mons pubis? It's like she has a cock and balls under all that bush.
And why is she naked? When was the last time a male hero was depicted naked? Ancient Rome?
And she's so small compared to the rest of the sculpture, like an afterthought.
I hate it.

Lesbian couple. Outdoor wedding. Had to bring our own food & drink. No marquee or Plan B in case of rain. Rain was torrential. Celebrante did quick ceremony under the rotunda, which none of us were allowed to stand under, then they told us to hand over our gifts & go home.

You've missed the entire point of the film, which is to give the women involved a voice. The film is about them because the men involved are always centred (which is what you're doing too) & their stories applauded while the women are, at best, ignored and, at worst, silenced.

He was boring, humourless, & smelled odd, like pork. Said he'd pay for dinner so I'd "owe" him & winked pointedly. Had the gall to get offended when I asked him if he'd blow a guy in exchange for a night of tedious conversation, badly grilled fish & a bottle of sparkling water.

Sorry, but I'm fresh out of sympathy for sad millionaires who make money by tattling on their family in public, especially when those same people complained bitterly over the wife's father doing exactly the same to them. Show some dignity. Thick, self-indulgent, weak hypocrites.

I don't understand what the end game is here. I just don't get it. Why actively let a big proportion of your female population simply die from neglect? You can't speed up the number of babies the surviving women can produce. Are they trying to end their society?

They never organised a follow up event. Didn't send thank yous for the gifts. Didn't email or call. Nothing. At $500, I'd spent more on their wedding than they did combined, though they both earn good wages. They didn't last a year.

One of many the reasons I love F1 so much is the drivers are quality. They're smart, respectful & don't behave like footballing yobs. I'd really like it to stay that way. This spoiled Mazepin kid, for all his Daddy's rubles, simply isn't up to scratch.
