I'm interested as to how this happened:

Perfectly formed circles, after the monitor got wet (ok, my cat
"scented" it, which I assume is salty water) - why the circles? I
can't
believe the "water" physically spread that evenly. And I'm
unaware
of
any connection in an LCD monitor activating a circle - wouldn't I
short
out a horizontal band or something?

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem:

Others mention similar cat problems.

I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you
have
to
walk them.

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was
building
the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit
every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and
****ing
in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.

Let them do that in the UK and the moronic authorities will snatch
them
up.

When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a
wheel
alignment done,

Isn't that something garages do to rip you off? I've never found it
necessary.

I did, the tire

You spell it the yank way?!

I actually spell it my way, like I do with most ys instead of ies too.

The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not distinguishable
from running out of energy.

Of course its distinguishable from the context.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.

But I know how to spell it properly.

I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it that way.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to change a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge,
and
going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog
behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on the
lead!)
to **** on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's ****ing.

Doesn't stop it ****ing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they
eventually
stop doing things.
