Oliver


I had hoped that the thousandth post on this blog might have been a happier one, but not so. Farewell, you magnificent beast.

My heartfelt commiserations on your loss.

But a worthy use of your 1000th post to pay tribute. A magnificent beast indeed.

No one could be more deserving of a 1000th post.
RIP Oliver

Thank you everyone. Bless his wonky whiskers.

He's probably playing a quiet game of Canasta over cocktails with Sir Bertrand O'Bucket and discussing Proust

Oh, dear. There is a peculiar, slightly ribald gravitas only achieved by the classic enormous ginger beast. As a fellow co-habitant with same I am very sorry to hear of one passing. It's a worthy 1000th post. Commiserations.

Tim F said...

Actually, he maintained a rather supercilious attitude with regard to Sir Bertrand, Rog. Sitting on the arm of the sofa and whacking his head with a languid paw. That sort of thing.

Thank you, extemporanea. His gingeriness was indeed a key part of his magnificence.

Oh, bugger.

Fat Roland said...

Oh, crap. Sorry to hear that, Tim.
