And we don't have dressers, everything is in a walk in closet with modular shelving. The wife is a minimalist.....But I'm thinking of where I could put it, I am really liking it.

BTE S.G.T.D. is short for breveté sans garantie du gouvernement meaning: patented without gouvernement guarantee.

A serre-file (not serre tile, I checked the picture of the listing on Priceminister) is a soldier who walks behind a formation to make sure that no slows down or a man of war that sails behind a formation of warships. My apologies if the translation sounds a bit funny but I was taught to translate French into Dutch not into English.

Well, had to go pick this up yesterday, was late, but it finally arrived.

Small, British, think possibly Sheffield, definitely hollow ground, as it makes tons of noise and is very active.

Very pleased with this one....Sid the Blue is his name:

Yea...after our Inky passed in April, we needed something new, some new energy in the house, and I've always wanted one of the Big Blue Boys with tons of personality, and your boy just confirmed for me, I wanted to take Hugo home with me....still chuckle to myself when I think about you telling me there ain't no Chipmunks in your backyard....

Wife and kids have been after me for quite some time for a cat. No way, not until the 120lb beast dies. They settled for 2 guinee pigs....

Beautiful boy you got there Andrew. Love the colour and his cute face. Maybe a cat like this I could get use to.
