AIBU to think I am entitled to a free goat?

[Sevenfoldedbloodybodies]

I heard on mn a while ago that if you are poor you get a free goat, where is mine?

I'd like to put myself down for a goat please

Can my goat be free range please.

How poor do you have to be? I think we probably qualify. Much better idea than getting a new lawn-mower!

Where do we get the goat? I love goats and I'm poor.

i did wonder if it is a scheme like the plasma tv one, so perhaps if you are too poor for a tv you get a goat, or maybe it is the other way round...[hconfused]

years back when a friend of mine was a vet med student, she had a leaflet in her room called "so you've been given a goat", so maybe it covers this scenario?

I would love a goat... I was just thinking tonight, that I use so many eggs in a week it would surely be economic to have my own chickens ...

Husband told me to get back to playing Farmville

Poor at what?

My husband keeps threatening to buy me one for Xmas but then I just gently remind him how attached (in every way) he is to his bollocks and how much he would miss them...

Andrewofgg good question, maybe poor at grammer, I would then be eligible

I'd like a goat. It would give more lap coverage than smalldog and keep me warm when I can't afford toput the heating on.

I NEED a goat. I am a) poor and b) to lazy to mow the large lawn and waste land at the rear of my garden. How does one go about getting said goat.

AH but if you have a goat you can put it in a huge hamster type wheel attached to a turbine to power your huge plasma tv. Come on Sevefold, keep up with the programme!

Actually, cancel my goat- thinking about it I already own one. It's in the third world, I believe, courtesy of some v. PC friends of ours.

I hate goats. Horrible boisterous things that bound over to you and head butt whichever bits of your body they can get at.
Could I have a different animal please? Maybe a giraffe, or a hippopotamus. Yes, definitely a hippo.

Fetchez, tell the third world family you want it back.

Chickens are ace squeaky and not at all costly.

After just watching Karl Pilkington, I now want a pet Hippo!

It's all very well you lot claiming your free goats but whose going to have to rescue them when you all get bored of the ruddy things, that's what I'd like to know.

We have a lot of foxes, a mental dog who is scared of chickens.. and I can see it not working out too well Pippi!

I had to sort out an abseiling squirrel this afternoon, and that was enough trauma for me and the dog!

I am sure squirrels are not meant to climb walls and sit on your sky dish, then try to get into your bedroom window.. while you stand looking up at it wondering at which point it will fall onto your head, and how quickly the dog will then join in the fun!

Ooh and you could knit a jumper with its wool (does a goat have wool?)! Where do I sign up?

Aren't goats a bit smelly? And they eat clothes. You'd be even poorer what with buying lots of febreze and having to buy new clothes to replace the ones the goat had munched off the washing line.

i had to report a squashed squirrel yesterday, they can be a bit silly...

ooh can you get a giraffe, that would be handy, they could be hired out to prune trees(proves she knows nothing about giraffes)

Seven I'm putting my name down for a giraffe too. They only eat a few leaves afaik. I've had hamsters and rabbits in the past, they need a lot of faffing around and cleaning out. A giraffe would surely be a doddle in comparison. My dds are going to love it.
