I can't tell from that picture whether it's a SEAT or a VW, of course either one would look out of place and might be noticed by a sharp-eyed guard.

I've been trying to cut a chipboard panel using a jigsaw; I couldn't finish the job because, wouldn't you know it, a piece of the jigsaw was missing.
I've got a bit of sky from my Black and Decker jigsaw if you need it? Just print the picture, cut it out and screw it in.

Mine's a Black and Decker too but it must be a different model; the piece I need has a kitten's ear on it.
Just took the dog out for a walk. Here he is, what a good boy.
Who's a good boy? Are you a good boy? Ooh, yes you are.
When he stops to have a wee on a lamppost he almost pulls my arm out of its socket.
This is his 'Everyone beats me' face. It's very good for extracting titbits out of gullible people. On the rare occasion that it isn't working properly, he adjusts his feet and stares even harder at them. So hard in fact that it looks like steam's going to start coming out of his ears...

He's just been sorting out the recyclables.

Most people just settle for the cat in such cases.
He tried to blame the cat.

"CAT PUTS WOMAN IN WHEELIE BIN" would be a better story.

I've often wondered about these "Adopt a Tiger/Lion/Leopard" schemes that zoos sometimes run. If they actually let you take the cat you adopt home, it would be fantastic. Imagine the door to door chuggers running back to their mates going "Don't go to that house, they set the cat on me"
I used to think that you could take the animal home too.
Just imagine, one night the sponsor scheme delivered the pack, and you was disappointed with getting a stuffed teddy instead of the real thing. So next, you phoned them up;
"Hi, this is -insert random charity name here-, how may we help?"
"Well, um, I decided to sponsor your charity to adopt your animal, and instead, I got this sorry excuse of a teddy instead; who am I, 5?"
"We apologise for any inconvenience, perhaps you'd want to return it for another teddy"
"Sure! Hey, by the way, can I return it for the real thing instead?!"
"We're sorry, but by law, we don't allow wild pets to take residence in peoples houses"
"Well, f*ck the law" and you quickly hang up the phone.
Good negotiation practice!
Was his name Top Cat?
Maybe that was what she was thinking about. All that grief and she was just doing what she felt was right.
I've heard that all his close friends call him TC.

Does he go behind the bin for a TCP?

TCP was an essential item in our home when our children were young and always coming home with the odd graze or two.

Who else gets disgruntaled when they find a spider sitting on the wall acting like it pays rent?

What does it do, wave a rent book? Actually I think house spiders (Tegenaria domestica) do earn their keep by eating a lot of less desirable creepy crawlies.
That's my take on it and also why I only charge rent to things like flies, snails and The Pet Shop Boys.
Speaking of which, I've got a snail (I think it's a snail, although I've never actually seen it), that lives behind a very heavy unmovable bookshelf and only comes out at night to motor around the front room and kitchen leaving it's trails everywhere, this has gone on for years and it's extraordinary how much distance the thing can cover.
