A little place of calm

IN UR APPLICASHUN TESTIN UR SOFTWAREZ

The following was knocked up when i was ill in bed, possibly feeling a tiny bit hysterical! The supposition is that, since Cucumber is multilingual, it would be trivial to make it understand LOLCAT. I quite like the fantasy of employing a team of cats to test MyChores for me! :) Whether i actually go on to test in this way is actually doubtful. It's so hard to remember how i mis-spelled things!
