On closher acquaintance with their characters, Freya and Durga have been renamed Mismatch and Dervish.

We have surrendered elegance to accuracy. They are the very essence of kitty madness!

In other news, I've heard lots about the Atheist Bus Campaign. It doesn't bother me particularly - free country, people can bilboard their opinions if they want to - but it's probably important to note that if we accept that people can plaster 'There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life' on the sides of buses, they also have the right to plaster 'God probably does exist; don't kill your unborn child,' or 'God probably does exist; ladies you maybe should keep quiet and wear longer skirts.' Pressure and proselyzation are no better just because I agree with/understand the points made. If we accept that we have the right to offend, we also must accept that others have the right to offend us.

That's cool with me. Public debate is the way forward. My concern is for those who are silenced.
