All righty then... So I use 'they' when I talk about you behind your
back now? Not that I'll ever do that... talking behind someone's back, I
mean.

You would have been pretty much on your own here most of the time. I
never had a facebook account and I feel utterly vindicated and rather
smug about it now.

So two cats? Merlyne has a cat. I have no cats. Also no wife. Or job...
I spend a couple of years as self-employed consultant after
rage-quitting and then retired and moved to the countryside.

Can I ask what kind of work you do?
