I wasn't at all sure about "Book" / "Job" but good clues!

Um thanks (I thought Job would be the easiest one).
I was thinking of concocting some sort of Mini CCC requirements - any thoughts?
|

Depends what you mean - mini clue, or mini solution? Both?
Spell out what you expect, and set time limits if you want them.
I'd just link to a CCC tutorial site[^] for the clue format itself and concentrate on what makes it different from WSO CCC.
I stuck the rules on my homepage, so they would be easy to find (rather than in the Lounge, where they get paged out too quickly).

Er, unsure what you meant by 'homepage', I just googled 'griff'... 
Learn something every day on this BBS... 
But yes, what do I mean - probably just a concise clue for a 3-5 letter filler. But perhaps better left without restrictions - 'you know it when you see it' type thing.
Hey, not every ticket's a winner...

Your homepage: Tim Deveaux - Professional Profile[^] There is a forum at the bottom where you can start threads.
A lack of restrictions is good, provided you give guidelines if others are expected to set them.

Right - got it.
Didn't know about the time restriction on the WSO - no wonder they're all solved by the time I get up (Not that I would get many anyway)
Hmmm... yes, will others set them... hmmm...

You need a time limit of some form so that you get a "win / lose" condition, and a point at which you can post solutions. Doesn't have to be "4 hours", for "mini CCC" it could be "tomorrow" if you always post it on a Saturday for example.
Other people setting it can be a good idea - it stops it being "a chore" because people do get attached to regular items (I get complaints if I don't post TotD on time and that was never meant to run for weeks, let alone several years!)

Today we visited the "The Coffeecat" cafe in Almere and were lucky to find a free table.
It's like a cosy living room, and there's a variety of cats, 10 in total.
Most of the cats were sleeping, and did not seem to mind all the visiting people.
Conclusion: heartily recommended !

My wife and kid like cats -- I don't.
A cat café tried to open here, but they couldn't get permits, so it's a cat lounge instead.

How about a cat gin bar, call it the cat-a-tonic.

How about a government run cat sports bar? Call it the Cat Ass Trophy.

You are forgiven, we can't be all purrrfect 
But I'm curious if you have any cats at home ...
|

At home I get very little p.....

Sounds suspicious. Are you sure they're not using the cats to make the coffee on-site?
|
|
|
|
|
Sharp observation, but I'm pretty sure they didn't, because it was just plain, bland coffee they served
|
|
|
|
|
Have you tasted "that other kind" to compare?
|
|
|
|

Awesome!! A coffe house that would kill my wife and kids just by entering.
Although... some days I reaaaally feel the need for a coffee!

Be glad that it wasn't a coffee shop

Free-roaming animals inside a premisis where comestibles are served?
Are they sure it's legal?

I think it's legal, there are also restaurants where dogs (!) are allowed. Besides the kitchen was placed in some sort of glass aquarium so the cats could not get in.

So Cat + Aquarium = GoodIdea?
I think we must have been watching different cartoons.

It's Twelfth Night tonight, so the Badtis decorations have been taken down, packed neatly away, and store until next December (With the assistance of Dij The Cat, without whom things would have proceeded much more smoothly, and with less swear words).
The house looks dull, and flat - and I guess my consumption (or overconsumption) of chocolate will have to be tapered off now as well. Oh well, it was a good season (excepting the TV which was trite, predictable, and boring).
Hope you had a good season, and wish you all a good year ahead!
