    So they are after cats then? Curiosity will get em every time, (if the dog doesn’t get em first).

    Is this about ice cream confectionery ? Wouldn’t be easier and cheaper to explore Streets instead of Mars ? Is there life on a Street’s Heart ? Not since Magnums hit the Street.

    Wot ? It’s about something else ?

    I suppose I had better read all those words. Are they in any particular order ?

    uses a laser to vaporise rocks?? and lifeforms. I mean, we can’t have other forms of life out there, surely?

    DRMICK, George, the cat is in hospital. He was fighting off Mr Ruffles last night and he fell off the roof, badly gashing his onside back leg. Will you get your brother to whip the cat around when he delivers the meat tray to the Pig’s Arms this Friday ?

    When they say: “…bring back life…” did they buy a return ticket?

    With a much smaller budget NASA could send Curiosity to the Melbourne Club to detect evidence of life.

    MJ, I am disturbed to hear of George’s latest incident while on security patrol. Is Mr Ruffles in any way affiliated or associated with the new neighbours?

    maybe we’ll find out if there’s really a Mars bar (probably no atmosphere though)
