    Being a septic sort have never seen or even heard of a British Blue Shorthair. Great looking faces on them!

    Beautiful cats, but bonkers. Apparently they're actually quite popular over your end too.

    Never seen one but will keep my eyes out for them. Most in my area are ordinary mixed breed although there are a few coons. Used to see lots of cats roaming but with the increase in coyotes in Massachusetts the cats have either been eaten or their owners tend to keep them inside. F'n coyotes are everywhere now. One got caught in downtown Boston two days ago, later released in a rural area after rabies check. It had actually entered Boston via a tunnel after causing a few near accidents in the tunnel. (maybe cops wanted it captured as it did not pay the toll )

    Great pic of the cats. Half was cut off when first viewed which is something that started this week, apparently after the ARRSE software redo.

    After a bit of experiment I discover the full image is available, you just have to "view image" . On a Mac you "Control + click" not sure on Windows machines but I am sure there is a way.

    Hope this helps.

Anyway it was late 1999 and the rugby world cup was on and we had managed to blag a some 8x8 foot paper and rigged up a projector to watch it in timmy's bar (my sub unit). Everybody was laughing at taz following the ball on screen his head going left to right, until someone punted it and he leapt from the chair with the fingers of death deployed and slid down the paper screen like a pirate using a cutlass down a sail.
    That was the only bit of 8x8 paper around, oh how we laughed afterwards huddled round a 24" screen.

    sub note most of the cats down there had a life of riley and regularly made it to very late teens some in the 20's. somewhere i have a picture of taz, mainly because he was a top "fanny magnet" all the women loved him which made him a top wing man!!
