“Individual personality differences in goats predict their performance in visual learning and non-associative cognitive tasks”
Highlights
We investigated goat personality and performance in different cognitive tasks.
Feature cue preference of goats was also examined.
Slow explorers performed better in a non-associative cognitive task.
Less sociable subjects performed better in a visual discrimination task.
Good visual learning performance was associated with a preference for feature cues.

Cats that don’t tear your house up and mean you have to put Perspex over everything.
Not so clever that they can be trained to stop trolling you, or they can but they just don’t give a fuck!

Still flipping brass monkeys.
Now considering simply setting fire to the place.
Although I bet it’s nice and warm in the pub.

You need a hipster log burner

Do the environment and all the rest of us a favour by putting the hipsters into a really unfashionable fireplace and using them for fuel. You can prod them with pokers before, during and after the burning, which is very comforting. Beards, sandals and dungarees burn very nicely too.

It’s a “warden managed” sheltered accommodation place. No naked flames, gas etc.
Still deciding between arson and the pub.

I’m sure the warden will be happy to ignite a few hipsters with you if you invite him/her to the pub afterwards.
I read that as hampster burner (also known as a Bristol BBQ)

eBay sale has gone badly tits up.
Now kicking myself for not going with my gut instinct: that the buyer was way too excitable for it to end anything but badly.
Here’s hoping he just accepts a full refund and doesn’t try some partial refund bullshit.
Playing my first comp with the new sticks tomorrow.
I shall report back for fellow abattoirists delectation, hole by hole…
