    Younger posters on here won't remember Toni Basil, best remembered for her 1981 hit "Micky"
    She is now 72 and can still bust some moves......

    Of our five cats (yes 5) one 'Bobby' has a deep fear of thunder. Poor bugger gets quite distressed and reverts to hiding under furniture, or like last night, under the bedclothes. Strange as he's actually the boss of the other cats. The others couldn't give a bloody dam, seeing our being woken at 0130 as just another food opportunity.

    Bloody good storm though.

    Hmm ..... I'm no physio, SIS, but that doesn't sound good (understatement I know). Can you get to some medical place there and have someone look at it? Sounds like a disc issue. Is the pain shooting down the leg? That's the sciatic nerve. Get medical assistance asap, I'd suggest. Good luck, mate!

    Which suggests to me that "Bobby" is actually a "bully". Bullies are cowards whether they are humans or cats.

    Watching Mastermind, and one of the questions was which Fulham player in 1976 was the first ever to receive a red card - George Best of course, at the Dell - I was at that game, but all this time I never knew that was the first. Learn something new every day !

    Must defend the Bobs lad. He rules through love and mutual grooming though his hard stare would make Romeu wilt.
    A couple of the rescue cats (brothers) did try to intimidate him briefly but he tends to look bored and they gave it up quickly.
    All the cats have at least one of the others they dislike and hiss at occasionaly, but they all tolerate Bobs.

    Of course he may be duffing 'em up wiv 'is knuckle dusters when I'm not looking though.

    My eldest brother has two cats. One is the bully and waits for everyone to look the other way before taking a swipe or chasing the other one. The other one just wants a quiet life. The bully runs and hides if one so much as looks in his direction while he's performing his little act. So he's a bully and a coward. Shame really, An otherwise nice-ish cat. The other one is a real sweety, as far as cats go.

    Love Wimborne. Drive through Coleshill some times. Mrs jasper was born and grew up in Holt.

    We often have breakfast in cloisters, and buy all our meat from keatings.

    Manchester City groundsman Lee Jackson has started covering the pitch at Etihad Stadium with liquid garlic to keep parasites at bay. (Manchester Evening News)

    Now you know what to pack when you go to a Mediterranean or other hot countries to keep mosquitoes from pestering you. I have four citronella plants on my balcony outside my bedroom to combat these pesky fellows who love buzzing my ears.

    So the question is what do you gardeners use to combats pests attacking your nearest and dearest in the garden, and fending off these wonderful creatures when on holiday.

    Sounds like your muscles have gone into spasm to protect your spine from injury, possibly in response to two vertebrae rubbing or twisting against each other. First happened to me 20 years ago, and has recurred two or three times since. A good physio will sort it, but mine's in Winchmore Hill, North London. I used to spend a lot of time lying on a hard floor with my legs against a wall, so the blood would get to the muscles in the lumber region, but you should probably check first that you don't actually have a minor spinal injury.
