I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

They have a car called the Seven-Eight-Nine that's an amalgamation of design cues from the '57, '58 and '59 Chevys. Cool. Also, pretty. It's built on a modern Corvette chassis.

OhgoodLordWANT. Purrrrrrr.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I need some advice. I seem to have no perspective form my job, so when asked in an online form for a new job - "Reason for leaving" ....

what can I write?

I want to write: long hours, high stress, low job security, ever-changing products with steep learning curve.

In this situation, it's probably best if you're not quite honest. A positive reason related to the job you're applying for rather than "I want to avoid killing everyone," you know?

It does depend on what the prospective job is, I guess. I'm sure there are some lines of work where that'd get you snapped right up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops

Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.

The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings - he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot's poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: "It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

"The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

"Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don't know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too."

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: "I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

"He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off."

With cute pictures of kitty getting on and off the bus, sitting quietly on his seat, etc....

I honestly wouldn't mention family situation in either an application or an interview.
