This is a blog by Meg Pickard. YMMV.
Hit the duck to be whisked to a random post

All photos » Pooped out from all the frisking in the snowy garden First exploration. The snow comes up to her belly. The cat has never done snow before The snow that fell during dinner in Mayfair Fresh pile Charity cake sale at Guardian towers solves my mid-afternoon snack conundrum Blackberry Victoria sponge Stand Independence vote would backfire Handing over - the master list By special request - display shelf thing propped on top of restored chest of drawers The fruits of our labour - old chest of drawers for nursery stripped, sanded and painted (knobs match fish motif on adjacent wall) 

Great T-Shirt

If:
a) it didn’t cost about a thousand pounds to get Threadless shirts sent over the the UK and
b) I wore T-Shirts

…I would TOTALLY get this one:

Pickles are just cucumbers soaked in evil - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Because it’s true, dammit. Pickles are just cucumbers soaked in pure evil.

Pickle, on the other hand, is a small brown cat from London whose new favourite thing is falling alseep on my shoulder like a giant, furry parrot, while I’m snuggling on the sofa under a blanket (because it’s about 5 degrees cooler in our living room than the rest of the house, for some reason).

    A lovely cat and a very nice picture. But I don’t think the T-shirt would fit him.

  2. Chz says:

    Pah.
    Everyone knows that cucumbers are pure evil and pickling them slowly removes the evil until they’re safe to eat. :)

  3. Pierre L says:

    I’ve been reading about Pickle (from October 2006). He sounds absolutely charming. My cat is a Tonkinese and he is very vocal as well.

  4. Awww he’s a cutie! Phoebe isn’t quite as convinced she likes being photographed sitting on people like Pickle – she prefers pouncing on us when we’re asleep.

  5. Meg says:

    Pickle’s a girl – most tortoiseshell cats are, for some interesting genetic reason – and a very soppy, talkative, podgy one at that.

  6. Pierre L says:

    Oh dear! Sorry, I misread the Oct 2006 posting which clearly said “she”. At least, I said nice things about her. I will now go and read that link you supplied, and go and stroke my own cat.

  7. Many apologies, Pickle! And now I know far more than I ever wanted to know about feline genetics…

  8. Gordon says:

    It’s really not at all expensive to get Threadless stuff shipped over, I’ve got about 8 of the “tees” and I’m a tight scot!

  9. phil says:

    wierd. That’s our cat. Except it’s really called Lucy. How is this possible?

  10. Matt says:

    I buy Threadless shirts all the time, and get them shipped to Ireland. For four shirts delivery is about $12, which is totally not a thousand pounds. And when there a sale on it’s about half the price of actually buying a shirt in a shop.

    But then again, if (as you say) you don’t actually wear t-shirts, it might as well be a thousand quid.

    And might I also add, pickles are yummy.

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.
 
More info about this site and its author.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
