Sometimes all you can do is smack yourself repeatedly in the head with a knotted rope

[wpvideo G3V2Kx3K] It's Monday.

I have been given a new toy.

It is a length of rope tied in a large knot. It must have cost all of £2.50.

These frivolous people spent their money this weekend in coffee shops (did anyone offer me a latte?) on Sunday newspapers (I shredded the Sports section so they would know just what I thought of being made to watch the Lions tour matches) and on vast weighty bags of food from Tesco ( I was made to stand outside while 'the other one' held the lead and got me to do tricks to entertain passing children. The unbridled humiliation and sticky fingers petting my fur still haunt me now.)

The only way I have been able to deal with the repressed feelings from this weekend is to bash myself in the head with this cheap toy.

... Actually...

This feels quite good.
