Just bought a Maine Coon! and 3 Silver Sharks!

Delighted for you.

I'm looking at moving back to Wakey, found a house just off Dewsbury Rd near Morrisons. Any good pubs round there that anyone can recommend?

Depends on your definition of 'good' I suppose; if you're a young hepcat, leave your house and turn left - Westgate and all it's hedonistic delights are on your doorstep, along with all the pi55y lager you could wish for!

If you're more discerning, The Hop is tucked away behind Unity Hall - music, comedy nights and real ale, although not always kept as well as it should be ime.

Locals-wise, I couldn't say - 30+ years since I lived on Lupset and the closest I got to the pubs in those days was in the beer garden with a shandy and a bag of crisps while me Dad was inside.

Either way - welcome home!

GF isn't happy, the Silver Sharks will need an 8 foot tank eventually! I've called the cat Arwen, because Maine Coons have pointy ears and the 3 new fish Gandalf, Severus and Paul Sykes.



That's the new cat.

They can grow to 3-4 foot in length! ...and well over 2 stone.

what do you feed it on to get that size

as for the fish have you ever fed them blister packs of meat ?

I used to get a beef heart, dice it and cut the main veins out then liquidize it to a pulp, then put it in a plastic bag and roll it flat about 6mm and freeze it, this is so you can break a chunk off at feeding time, the fish love,
I had a marine tank where I had a copperband used to be fed by hand like this one

i prefer pictures of your pussy cat

4 oz (110 g) self-raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
5 fl oz (150 ml) water, plus 1 scant tablespoon


Just sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, then gradually add the water, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free from lumps.


Yum Yum.

leave it alone there only thin

Not as thin as that rubbish they charged us £6 for up north

good luck with the album, not my type of music but then I never listen to ambient music

All Maine Coons get that big! I'd never heard of them until I watched Harry Potter and decided I wanted a Wildcat like Mrs Norris.
I have some frozen beefheart cubes I've bought from a garden centre but none of my fish are crazy about it. I don't think I love them enough to do what you suggest with the heart

lol. The Silver Sharks aren't currently eating anything websites suggest but they are nosing about in the gravel alot so hopefully they will bottom feed like the Rainbow Shark I have.

We paid £15 for a Bristlenose a year ago and I've only seen it 3 times.

I once bought a spiny nosed eel and found on the carpet two days later after not seeing it for some time, stiff as a crisp

to this day I thought I should put it back in the tank a I learnt years after they can survive out of water for some time, a bought a chocolate cat fish and called it galaxy, and after years in my tank my mate took him on when I moved house and he still is going to this day 20 years on and hides all he time

Is it big? They were selling a Gator Gar on Denby Dale road around a year ago, it was only around 10" so I hummed and aahed for a day or two but I'm not experienced enough for that challenge.

last time I saw it it was around 12" the fish that is

mel told me that 12" means cm

behave now

Maybe a cause the club could promote??

Only seen one wildcat here in Sulawesi. It ran across the road at night in front of my motorbike, scared me to death. Size of a labrador. They're fairly rare around houses as they tend to make themselves unpopular by eating people's chickens.

Might be a good idea the next time the Wildcats play the Tigers down at BV. Afterall the Wildcats used to native to England and Wales too. Someone could hand a out/display a few leaflets about websites promoting the cause with a small percent of the gate takings going to donations to help conservation etc. The cause itself might get a few feline lovers down to BV.



I spend a lot of time wandering around various parts of the Highlands, I've seen Deer, screeching soaring Buzzards and a Scottish bloke once but the sight of a Wildcat would probably bring a tear to the eye.

don't know if there are any nurses / doctors that come on here but would just love thank all that work at pinders who have to enduring poor facilities but still just get on with the job in helping patients,
last week my mother suffered septicemia in which she was close to death and one week later is sat up ready to get on with life again,
without these angels where would we be, she's not out of the woods yet but has made a fantastic recovery
bless them all
