Is Knurling a health hazard?

First time I've ever had an excuse to use the word (which means diseases you get from being sneezed at by animals ).

Thinking of new words, one of the very latest is 'Ikea Effect', or the tendency to like something more if you have built or created it yourself.

Also, 'Catio', an enclosed area outside a house for pet cats. Articles on Catio building would surely be most welcome in MEW Magazine...

How about a 'ratio' for pet rats ..........😛😛

I had to go back one page to see if you'ld found a specific word for zoonotic coryza....

Just be careful you don't get pest control show up at your door!

And you'd need a solution to keep out the neighbourhood cats.

It's an old adage that every True Pedant's duty is to amuse the others, preferably by making foolish mistakes...

They should be compulsory, every time I dig a bit of garden my neighbours cat thinks I have made him a new toilet, he had to pinch off a bit early when I spotted him the other day and ran at him waving a stick.

"They should be compulsory, every time I dig a bit of garden my neighbours cat thinks I have made him a new toilet, he had to pinch off a bit early when I spotted him the other day and ran at him waving a stick."

Alternatively get a Rottweiler like we did - haven't seen a cat in the garden for years. Mind you, the volume of excrement to be cleared is substantially greater.

Rozalex Barrier Cream,

- if you can find it, Mole Valley sell it, or did, always used to be good. They do wet and dry versions. Used it for years when I was at sea in the MN in the engine room.

Is a granary an old peoples home?

That surely stretches the meaning of 'built or created it yourself' beyond the MEW interpretation!

I know someone who had a 'catio' (not called that). Looks like a sort of inverted aviary.

Perhaps I should rename this thread 'Uxbridge English Dictionary'.

Indecent - the sweaty smell of an unsigned band at the end of a performance.

Don't encourage me... there are worse.

Oscillate.

Those Cartwrights never turn up on time..

I'll get my coat.
