I lost the badges and the wallet, I have forgotten the passwords, but I paid my dues (30p postal order IIRC) back in the day.
So am I or am I not still a member of the Dennis the Menace Fan Club?

Remembering the passwords to the Dennis the Menace Fan Club helped me meet my wife. They're like, the worst easiest passwords ever.
You're a dark horse, Boots.

Damn.
If middle age hadn't stolen my memory, maybe I'd have met your wife.

That's awesome, because before is was is, is was was. But, hang on, shouldn't it be after was was was, was was is? Or, before was was is, was was was?

Tangentially, singular "they" was apparently in use for about 400 years before some pedants starting complaining about it (about 300 years ago). The pedants are revolting.

Surely, before was was was was was has been, then was was was was; and is was was was but was wasn't is. Is will be will be, but that's another story

This is all too tense for me.

Nice.

Also tangentally, I've just set mousetraps and finally killed the mice running round inside my ceiling for the last couple of months.  Got to say, I feel like a bit of a bastard about it but at least I didn't torture them till their very last breath like cats do, and I still like cats.

The mice had it coming.
It was was you or the mice.
That's what you tell yourself to keep the nightmares at bay.

This cartoon came to mind after reading your post.  :)

I did try an ultrasonic device - about as much use as your proverbial chocolate fireguard.  I even tried letting my neighbour's cat wander about, hoping its scent would scare them off, but that was about as effective as the cat in Paddy's cartoon.

Sorry, lads. Meeces to pieces it is. I hope they didn't suffer,  nor mutate and take revenge come the Apocalypse.
