Introduction

Don't expect to find flashy graphics and sounds that make your boss wonder what you are up to here! I like clean and simple and as this is my site; that's what it is. It covers a few of my interests. I hope you find some of the resources useful/interesting.

You can mail me at feedback @ this site. Put Feedback in the subject matter. I have a very agressive email filter; everything else is binned.

Site Overview

PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN THE GALLERY
These are generally related to cats, cars, holidays and Diablo 2 snapshots. Yeah, I need to get out more. Most pictures taken with a Konica Digital Camera KD-400Z. Great featured camera which is simple to use.

BLOG HERE
The fantastically entertaining blog containing witty and off-beat ramblings, cookery lessons and other video stuff. It isn't mine.

STORIES
Chris' Tower Blockcontains (clean) stories. Most are from my old Quest PBM days; I wrote them when the Game 7 Newsletter, "Monthly Mumblings" was short of contributions. There are one or two Diablo 2 stories/Mat/Pat threads there too.

THYIAD'S DIABLO 2 RESOURCES
My own bookmarks file containing links to reference material, Guides, calculators. Also "The Fisheh Page" containing all Nightfish's Guardians and Guides that I can find. I am the type of person who reads around a subject a lot and this is the info I have found. The Resources also contain a link to avi PvP videos, but if you want to go straight to the videos then PvP VIDEOs HERE

Bookmarks
Few bits and bobs I have tripped over that I found interesting.

About Me

Dull, cat woman with a very dry sense of humour. British by the spelling, obviously. Interests: D2 and computer games in general, far too much Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. Very soft towards animals. Loathes children, insects and 99% of the medical profession. Left (stopped going to) school at 14. Went back into adult education and shoved two fingers up to school by gaining an Honours Degree in Law. Believe in yourself, no one else will. I've used the handle Bacchae and Thyiad for a long time. That is from "The Bacchae" read here for more details

Sayings: "FOAD", "RTFM", "The world hates me".

This is Sesimbra just south of Lisbon, Portugal. This is where I want to spend every birthday. I am hoping to get back there very soon. Or at least somewhere else peaceful with sunshine. I resent being snowed on in March.

This is Obidos, north of Lisbon, Portugal. Being terrified of heights, I only saw the view from the top of one part of the wall before I chickened out. The photo's in the Gallery were kindly taken by a friend. Buy a painting from the lady at the entrance to the city (not the entrance with the painted tiles, the other one with the VERY steep hill). Belo!

Astrophe, my first cat. I grew up with dogs but being out at work all day, I felt it wouldn't be fair as dogs need company. My next door neighbour had a cute kitten that climbed up her net curtains. That was Astrophe. She was with me from 1997 until 2003 when she went missing. Affectionately known as Blobby (little black blob behind the glass in the door). I walked for hours looking for her and bombarded the area with posters. I still hope a little. Not knowing is horrible. I urge anyone who ever finds an animal to at least contact the owner; even if it is dead. They will appreciate KNOWING.

Ziggy; RIP. I was concerned Astro would be lonely, so in 2000 I got her a little friend from the Cat's Protection League. There we so many cats I just said to the young man "Tell me which one is most in need". He took me to Ziggy. He'd lived on the streets for years and although quite loving (purred like a train) he just looked a bit ragged (checkout that ear!) so he was never adopted. I took him home and he reacted really well to Astro. She hissed, he just stood there. Eventually they chilled and when he eventually would go outside, he wouldn't come back in until she did. He had a fit one night and died as I drove him to the vet. His ashes are on top of a bookcase; he liked high places.

Meet Maria (left) and Teagan (right). I went to the RSPCA regularly to find Astro. I didn't find her but I met these guys. They were so friendly when you pat them through the bars and I was delighted to hear someone at the desk say they wanted them. They were still there the following week and when I asked the staff to open the cage, I found out why. They try to bolt when you are in the same room without the safety of the bars. A bit of time and effort later and they rule the house; Teagan's new plan is to attack things on my computer screen.

This was Cheese. Looks cute, doesn't she? If you read Terry Pratchett, think Greebo. If you don't ready Terry Pratchett: shame on you and think ... hunting tiger. On a trip to the vet I was asked if I would mind a dog being brought near to her, to see how the dog gets on with cats. It was a mid-sized dog. Cheese charged at at, claws out. Oddly the only cat I have ever had that likes men. RIP Cheese. Her ashes are next to Ziggys. She was always trying to climb up there.

I love this road sign. And yes, it is in England.
