  1. It will change Kylie, as he gets older, he will do it less and less, he might still do it when he is trying to get comfy, he is happy in his home, just some cats take a bit longer to work out the situation , I am sorry for mentioning my cats but Dylan sat our knees (well everywhere) when we got him, with Quinn it took months for her to sit on anyone's lap, she did come up for cuddles but it was on her terms, she is still the same now, like your good self, we never forced the issue, all cats have their own personalities as you know and remember, you are Jasper's pet Its all trial and error hen, especially in the early days, we had problems with the cat litter tray liners too I hope this helps hen

  12. I prefer the 60s to the 70s too vodkafan, I was born in '73, so I missed it and had to cope with 70s clothes and questionable music (well at least there was Marc Bolan )

  15. Sixty~Nine by Ryu Murakami ~ Started: 03.03.11 ~ Finished: 08.03.11 Synopsis ~ In 1969 we were seventeen. We listened to the Beatles, the Stones, the Doors, the Velvet Underground, the Grateful Dead, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Bob Dylan. We read Rimbaud, played guitars, smoked pot, fell in love, rebelled against the establishment, protested the war in Vietnam, barricaded our high school, and produced the first rock festival in our home town - a small city in a remote southwestern corner of Japan. "69" is a roman de clef about coming of age during a time that left its mark on baby boomers around the world - a time when we really believed we could change the world before it changed us. By turns hilarious, cynical, frivolous, and poignant, the book is infused from start to finish with Ryu Murakami's relentless energy and optimism; and it simply refuses to get tedious, preach, or "literary" for a single moment. The Story ~ Its 1969 and Kensuke Yazaki is 17 years old and the world is his oyster, well his world in the small city of Kyushu and his school, Northern High. Its all about the music, poetry and his endless pursuit of girls for Kensuke (or 'Ken' as he preferred to be called). Along with his friends, Adama and Iwase, Ken wants to set up a music festival and make a film, highlighting the hypocrisy of education and life in general because when you are 17 years old the whole world is against you. What I thought of 'Sixty~Nine' ~ 'Sixty~Nine' is different from the previous novels by Ryu Murakami I have read, 'Piercing' and 'In the Miso Soup' were darker and showed the other side of Tokyo. 'Sixty~Nine is a lighter and funnier read, and a departure for Ryu Murakami, which made for interesting reading. Ken, the main character was funny and very self involved, my favourite character was Adama, he was the voice of reason for all of Ken's endeavours, Ken lived in a dream world at times whilst Adama remained on earth and he was also very funny, especially the part with the neurotic chickens. A fun, feel good read. Rating ~ 8/10
