My parents hit on a neat idea, make friends with a neighbours kitten (when it's a cute fuzz ball, probably...) get it to respect your garden and house as it territory problem goes away! Down side is when said cat departs this mortal coil you start to get cats & foxes back... or my solution build an over-elaborate IR guard to soak launch a water volley ala the Vilimos answer!

To quote an answer to a very similar question once posed in The Guardian newsaper - "How do I stop the neighbour's cat crapping in my garden?"
The answer - concrete one or the other!

As far as cleaning stuff they hit, normal soap and water doesn't work. Head to your local pet supply store and ask if they have any enzyme based cleaner for pet messes. Might take a wash or two but it gets the stench out.

Thanks, I never knew such things existed.

Something that was brought up by JSOP, I think, about the 'lone wolf' terrorist meme being spread by the mass media. I forget the details.

... A morbid fear of memory sticks? Ramaphobia sounds religionish.
It's weird: "Hey, sure! You can log on to our wifi and get complete RWX access to every file and database on our servers!", but "Oh God, NO! Keep that memory stick away from me, Please!"
I wonder if these people also refuse to open any web page at all, or any e-mail from anyone, anywhere, too.

Nee, since the webpage hasn't been anywhere physically. It's not drowning in germs.

I forgot my Cpday yesterday. But I've put up with seven years of you elephants wasting my time. No stop it, I really must do some work.

Congratulations!

You know how gin-and-tonic was invented, don't you?
Tonic water (quinine) was the standard treatment for malaria in the colonial days. Quinine of course is bitter and so gin was added to make the medicine palatable.
With gin-and-tonic, one is able to screw oneself and malaria at the same time.

Today, and yesterday, I am actually doing some real honest-to-God paid work. Rare, but it does happen.
And I'm drinking coffee*

If he really was consuming that much gin and tonic, I would have no other choice than to call him a trouble sh**tter.

I never have more than one gin...

I must have joined around the same time. My current account is 6 years 6 months old - but I had previously joined using some other name then lost the password & ended up re-joining.
i don't actually recall a time during that whole time when you were actually working rather than drinking!
Well done!
