  1. discovering, when he came to, that he was handcuffed to a lamppost and was surrounded by a group of jeering and mocking youngsters. We'll leave him there, suffice it to say he was released some time later by a passing policeman, but he never dared show his face at Johnny and Rosie's Cat Cafe. Lesson learned. Time to ...
  2. surrounding this altercation were hushed up, so there were no repercussions. It was the work of a moment to strip Freddie to the waist, dress him in a purple and pink tutu, pop a pair of cat's ears on his head and bundle his floppy, unresisting body into the car. Checking we had handcuffs and plenty of fish, we headed for ...
  3. Burning Down the House ~ Talking Heads
  4. week, bright and early (well, early anyway, it was an overcast sort of day, threatening rain) I rolled up to Looby Lu's and there was Gimmick waiting, all excited and expectant like. 'Well,' he said, 'what have you got lined up for me?' 'Just you wait and see! But let's have a little snifter first.' Priscilla had popped a couple of sleeping pills into his drink so now all we had to do was ...

  6. Seven left ((I've crossed out the ones found)
  7. ... well, toe really. When he came hurtling at me like a crazy ball of fury, he accidentally made contact with my steel-capped boot. Hurt like hell. I swear he dented my boot. Head like a rock. He didn't even pause, clawed his way straight up my leg and spat in my face. God rest his soul.' 'So what makes you want to invest in OUR business, Frederick?' 'I thought that would be obvious ...

  9. overpowering. But the beer was cheap and since I was shouting, this was the main factor. 'Now let's get down to business, Freddie,' I said when we were settled in a well ventilated area of the pub, a frothy warm beer in front of us. 'What sort of figure are you thinking of as an investment in our very profitable enterprise?' 'Of course, I'd have to see your books and show them to my accountant. But anything up to five hundred.' I choked on my beer, 'Fi ... fi ... five hundred thousand?' I stuttered. 'No, you dunderhead! Five hundred dollars! Do you think I'm...

  11. Nearly all these are correct, according to the answers, but ... The cheese one is 'Big Cheese.' The bird one is 'As bald as a coot.' This leaves 5 not found. Hints : cake cherry screw lip joker platter knot eggshells cat ( another one) socks feet rags

  13. a long time since we've done some female bonding.' 'I'm sure you don't need to go to Japan to bond, can't you do that underwater diving or at a zoo or the Bermuda Triangle or something? And Ms Foghorn, BSC, Dip Stick, University of Dunghill, where do you get off laying down the law to me!! I think it's time you just ...
  14. There are 27 figures of speech in this picture. How many can we guess?
  15. such a merry, happy little band here. I'm actually looking for an investment opportunity and this just may fit the bill.' 'Do you have an interest in cats, Mr...errr?' asked Rosie. 'Gimmick, Fred,' he said, holding out his hand. 'I'd like to have a meeting with you next month after I've looked into things more.' 'I'm afraid Rosie and I will be away in Japan next month,' I said, 'perhaps some other time?' Rosie gave me a wide-eyed, what the hell are you talking about, kind of look. 'I'm afraid it's next month or not at all,' said Fred, 'I've got other ...
  16. Fire It Up ~ Modest Mouse
  17. Egyptian Mau, a Sphinx, a Sokoke and a Peterbald. I like to collect rare breeds.' 'Never heard of them. Who's going to look after them when you desert them so thoughtlessly? I imagine it'll be very stressful for them. If you're going to own cats, you really must be responsible and put their needs first, you know.' 'Well, I thought I could leave them with you Johnny. After all, you're obviously an expert in all things feline and they couldn't be in better hands.' 'Impossible! Absolutely out of the question! Can you imagine the ...

    Hi Vilandra and a big welcome
  20. Hi Yassine and a big welcome 😊
  21. just go and get Johnny and tell him the news!' Next minute, Rosie comes rushing in, grabs me by the hands and twirls me round in a mad dance. 'You'll never guess, Johnny! I've just won a trip for two to Japan. It's a guided tour of all the best cat cafes, free travel and free accommodation. I can't believe it!' 'How ... what ... when ...
