Inspired by yesterday's thread of the bill splitting karma, which was very uplifting to read, can anyone share any stories where CF got their come uppence? These will be a wonderful read for all especially victims of CF!
I don't have any to offer I am afraid...

Unfortunately, Enormo-Cob was pre the invention of digital cameras, let alone smart-phones :( you'll have to let your imaginations paint a picture!

17hh, feet like dinner plates, lots of leg-fluff, a two-tone mane that would not look wrong in a shampoo ad (but the tail had too many poo-stains for that sort of shenanigan). Chestnut and white paint job, quite evenly marked, chestnut head with a broad white blaze, superb twirly moustache on the top lip.
Permanently droopy pink bottom lip and an expression of total bemusement with the world!

😍😍😍😍😍

He sounds wonderful!

I love horses with big hairy feet. Was his back about as wide as the average dinner table, so you had to sit with your legs almost straight out to the sides? (Useful sort of horse if you like to do a jigsaw as you amble along.)

What if: Twix is the plural? They get sold in twos.

Maybe we should be looking for the singular of Twix, and not the plural...

One twi? One twik?

Or it's like "fish" . . . or "sheep" . . . ? 🤔

And there is no difference . . . 😦

IS THERE ANY SANITY IN THE WORLD ANY MORE?!?!?!?

He/she/it Thux(es)
We Fu . . . . 😬

Edit because of autocarrot

Here's a nice bit of instant Karma. A man punched a woman, completely unprovoked and got a good shoeing. In New York.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13290169/group-beats-man-punches-woman-14th-street-nyc.html

That was beautiful. I watched it twice. It's becoming more and more common seeing videos of angry men randomly attacking unknown women on the street out of the blue and these violent little incels will only learn when they get a good kicking.

RhubarbAndFlustered · 15/04/2024 08:53

I am completely horrified at posts suggesting that cancer, autism, abusive relationships etc are karma for being a bad person. Some of these posts are sick. Not in the spirit of this cheerful lthread at all.

@TheInfusionist The terrible partner ended up with terrible partners. Yet you went for the cancer part being the karma. Yeah, Alright.

I was a disabled kid and was bullied both at home and school. I had an absolute sadist of a PE teacher decide that I absolutely MUST swim in the swimming carnival or I would not graduate. (I had spent every single PE lesson in the music room because of this woman’s attitude towards me - she simply did not believe I had a heart condition and no notes from home or doctors were ever going to be enough for her.) Anyhow, in my final year of school, she made me climb up on the diving block fully dressed, and when the gun went off, I stood there with my arms crossed. Of course the sadistic fucker stormed up and screamed in my face until she went blurple and I may or may not have smirked or provoked her with some kind of facial gesture because she pushed me in. I thought to myself “This cow doesn’t even know if I can swim a single stroke at all….” (I could… but I was never going to be an Olympic contender…) So I sank to the bottom and waited until the sadistic fucker had to jump in and “rescue me.” Then I puked all over her legs and all of the students cheered.

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain "I then heard her boyfriend had suffered 3 mini strokes not long after they’d moved there and she’d had to help care for him, which she still does as well as works. They were planning to get married too. But I’d never wish severe or fatal illness on anyone."

But you are saying that her BF getting ill is the karma? Because that's what it reads like, which is pretty horrible.

Oh my goodness - hopefully she was sacked? 🌹

This sounds perfect, @InMySpareTime - all the other options were making my brain hurt. I am Not Good at Monday mornings - they happen on a Monday, in the morning, and I don't like that.

I do love @Emotionalsupportviper's idea of a slightly pissed EnormoCob ambling around - I think he'd be even more fun drunk than sober!

sashh · 15/04/2024 09:54

Not a CF one but I had one job where I drove down the M6 toll everyday.

So I knew the little green older car had flashing lights and contained uniformed police.

I would smile whenever I saw it. And yes it was usually BMWs.

myavocadoisgrowing · 15/04/2024 11:53

Reading most of these it seems that there a darn sight more police about than I thought.

Perhaps it's just where I live that there are NEVER any around when you need one.

About 15 years ago, I was on a packed train leaving London to go home. A man was sitting next to me but kept barging me, man spreading, elbowing me etc. I am a small woman and he was pretty big and about 30 years older than me. It was a horrible journey back.

He got off a couple of stops before me, but left his iPod (remember those?) on his seat. I could easily have called after him, but I didn't. I kept it for myself and had it for several years.

Years ago I was sitting opposite an elderly woman on the Tube, and a terrible manspreader came and sat next to her. She was having none of it and declared in ringing tones, "Young man, I am a GP, and if you need to sit like that, you should seek urgent medical attention." He got off at the next stop, absolutely crimson with embarrassment and rage, and all the women within earshot were grinning madly.

I am sorry you had to endure that - but the ending was beautiful!

Well done for having the courage to hold your breath so long - I have twice nearly drowned (with times due to my own stupidity - not sadistic teachers for me) and it is f*cking terrifying!

The vomit was the (metaphorical) icing on the cake - did you deliberately swallow chlorinated water on the way up? (And congratulations on your graduation - I'll bet she didn't DARE hold you back after that!)

Normally I would condemn "stealing by finding", but on this occasion I salute it.

Well done, that wumman.

I wish all young women could be more elderly.
