No, it has to be this one. Every time someone asks 'how long'.

"The web site needs to be more webbish". "But not too webbish". "How long will that take?"

This is 13-year-old Tally (short for Natalya as she has Russian Blue heritage). She has a full day of sitting on a cushion on my desk ahead of her. #proofofcat

Me. I did.

A tweet from my account that reads : "Never mind whether Farage wants to spend Fridays in Clacton - what about the residents there who need an MP to help with local issues - I can't imagine him sat in a church hall listening to a resident's problems with the DWP and so on."

Tell me about it... I may be some time...
