    Popping my head round the door

    Hi all!

    Bint gets the watch she wanted from the fiancé-now-husband, he's happy cos it's cheaper than a Seamaster, she's happy because it's shiny and basically made by the same people anyway, and unsurprisingly she completely disappears off the forum. Forum forgets who she is.

    I don't know if anyone else goes through forum/newsgroup phases (mine have been ascii-art, overclocking, tropical fish tanks, fancy-rat keeping & cycling amongst others) and I remember fondly each community, it's weird how you fall into and out of these things.

    Anyway I hope you're all grand!

    ~Sara

    Thanks! Seems the place has seen a selling-not-selling confusion recently - hope Eddie doesn't still have more work than he can comfortably cope with on his hands

    Well sometimes you need a little advice on how to train one's rats... They make great pets by the way!

    In the world of rattery is there an equivalent of Haute Horology, special breeds that cost a fortune and have to be sent to Switzerland to be serviced?

    Certainly not, Sara. How's married life treating you? Everything here is just the same; only the names and some of the specific insults have changed.

    Always found that litter training rats was surprisingly easy. Plus, shaking the Yoggie pot is far more effective than a clicker.

    You do get special breed, when I was on the forum they were all about the 'Dumbo' rats - which look how they sound, bigger and lower placement of ears. Sadly none of them last very long, generally 2 years seems to be the average life span, 3 if you're lucky - seems they all get got by cancers in the end. Servicing is not much help.

    Very well thank you :) We even seem to be nicer to each other lately, is that how it's supposed to work?

    Oh totally. Mine just went straight for the tray almost instantly. I also miss having a friendly shoulder-rat wiffling in my ear.

    Just one left now. He's more a lap-rat.

    Had a heart-breaking dumbo experience last year, were we lost two in close succession. Cancers, as you say. One went in a matter of days, and literally lived on my shoulder, perched under my neck for the entire time.

    Had to let mine go - that rat was too damn fly for keeping.
