Al Fayed copies the marketing ploys of alanjohn's in lionel

I was amused to read that Mohammed Al Fayed's Harrod's store somewhere on the Mainland has employed a live cobra to guard a display of shoes which cost more than the average house in Carloway to buy. Throughout the fifties and sixties, Alan John's display of Argyll wellies were always jealously guarded by a colony of mice so the idea wasn't as revolutionary as those smart Englsih broadsheets thought! But they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. There must tbe dozens of other retailing ideas that the islands have given to the mainland? On another tack entirely - Is Flying Cat receiving Feline Aid for the trial or paying for the services of a brief? From the way the jury were moving about I think someone had given them cat nip!

Were the Argyll wellies guarded by Argyll mice? More specifically, was Tws the agent for importing them from Coll?

A brief for FC? # Interesting posting, Calum. Were the mice guarding the wellies, nude mice? Or the usual Coll variety?

You will see from Tws's blog that I have been appointed as counsel for the defence. There is no Feline Aid here, but I am prepared to give a reduction in that there are two defendants (BOGOF). It is an open and shut case, as we QCs say, and would be thrown out of court if the court weren't so corrupt. FC and Marmers need have no fear of incatceration.

Calum, i the above named, am defending FC,marmers,mia,pepper and of course the 4 cat gang,who are already in hiding,as no pu's are recieving feline aid,tws is paying for the costs,which you can be assured will be very HIGH!!

Excuse me, my learned friend Maitre William, but I have been engaged as defence counsel for FC and Marmers. My fees are astronomical but I too am hoping that costs will be charged to Tws, which is no more than he deserves for his criminal flouting of the judicial system. You can concentrate on the remaining defendants, although Pepper has already pleaded guilty so that should be easy!

Jill from EK


Neither of us has ever worn briefs and we're not going to start now. We are rather interested in the concept of nude mice though, and wonder if emporioalanjohn would stock them in the ready meals section? It would save a a lot of work...

FC&Marmers from Cell Block F


Even with so many competent lawyers defending the felons, I foresee a public hanging. I suspect one or more of the many ib photographers will be present? So, let's have the art work!!

mjc from NM,USA


There have been some successful ideas tried on the mainland that just haven't worked over here. I'm thinking now of the tactic of playing high frequency noises outside shops to disperse antisocial gangs. Woolworths in Stornoway tried playing panpipe versions of Calum Kennedy's Greatest Hits but the cailleachs gathering for a blether on Cromwell Street refused to budge.

Annie B from the usual


I was wondering if the cobra was guarding the snakeskin shoes? Not worn briefs and from Cell Block F!!!! I was under the impression that briefs were a legal requirement?

Plaid from nowhere near kitty litter


be careful MJC, the almighty old dear can still change flight path--instead of stopover in singapore she ,if pushed hard enough may well go thru LAX sorry that 3 letters should be said in a hushed whisper,then onto NM to seek revenge!!

4 cat gang plus their lawyer from in lawyers office preparing for the trial


WHY,oh WHY is no-one shouting about the murder that was commited last night at the "parc des princes" in paris????? eleven haggises killed ELEVEN FROGS and not one person on ib has made a comment!!! when a cat does what has to do--everyone screams"cruelty,murderers"etc but when a haggis kills a frog not a meep!!! sorry not a peep! tut tut!!

4 cat gang plus their lawyer from on a protest march


Plaid, the legal requirement: not actually wearing briefs, but carrying them ...

mjc from NM, USA


4 cat gang - i think we were all enjoying a smug moment and not tempting fate too much! Anyhoo the rugby is much more interesting, tho I do wonder as to the 'reasons' female staff watches it????

mia from feeling smug


Thunderthighs...

Flying Cat from educated guess


Are you characterizing, stipulating the US women's soccer team, FC? Did we wallop the English side? I sure hope so....

mjc from NM, USA


spot on fc, spot on!
