Another cunning ruse. Alcohol testing to see if you can have your half a goat a week.

Can we pick what goat we have? I want one of those Pygmy fainting ones that drop to the floor if you make them jump.

Then I can go around scamming people in the street. " hey! You killed my goat! You sir owe me £50!"

AThingInYourLife · 23/05/2012 16:06

A feckless fecker is something to be.

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 23/05/2012 16:07

If you qualify, you may pick your own goat.

However any profit has to be spent on cheap alcohol, cigarettes and chicken nuggets.

They are the actual rules y'know

AThingInYourLife · 23/05/2012 16:08

I want a fainting pygmy goat too.

I'll just sit at home drunk, laughing every time it falls over.

So no competition for you Charlie, you entreprenewer.

LineRunner · 23/05/2012 16:08

And I bought a Brevia bra from Asda today.

KatieScarlett2833 · 23/05/2012 16:11

Err no, we allocate goats after 73,000 forms have been completed.

Sometimes, people only qualify for a rat.

Tough times, tough times.

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 23/05/2012 16:12

Oh no fanjo - really? I don't smoke or drink and I'm a vegetarian.

Can't I buy value crisps and chocolates instead?

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 23/05/2012 16:13

Rats?

Can it be one of those ones that sit on your head and direct you around kitchen making fabulous meals? I saw a documentary about one once I'm sure...

Ormiriathomimus · 23/05/2012 16:14

Just worked out what JSA was. I was thinking that maybe it was some sort of meat raffle. Like they have in pubs. Well some pubs.

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 23/05/2012 16:15

(I just searched YouTube for fainting goats. I've no idea where the Pygmy thing came into it.... But a smaller one would be easier to transport in one of those doggy pushchairs so maybe it was wishful thinking?)

TheUnMember · 23/05/2012 16:16

I've been harassing my husband to get me a goat for years. Last week he bought me a robotic lawn mower instead. He's such a nerd. :(

MissFaversham · 23/05/2012 16:18

Frig, no goats for me then <

Linerunner - what's the Brevia like, I'm thinking of getting a couple, mind you I have rather large baps, would they be swinging round my waist?

NettoSuperstar · 23/05/2012 16:21

Oh, I really do have a rat, her name is sausage.
She likes baths and chocolate spread, and is very fatGrin

LineRunner · 23/05/2012 16:22

MissFav It's not too bad. I have it on under my usual bra, mind. Clearly when they say you might need two - I think they are talking to us larger-bapped laydeez - you do need two. Or possibly three.

I might need a government grant to cover the bapping costs.

AfternoonDelight · 23/05/2012 16:27

I don't drink. How do I qualify for the Free Goat please?

I would've gone to the Job Centre today to get it, but I couldn't, because it was sunny I was doing a favour to a mate. She needed help with her bapz.

D0oinMeCleanin · 23/05/2012 16:27

Are you trying to tell me that if DH loses his job at the end of the month (very possible right now) then not only will I have to cope with him moping under my feet all day long but they'll make me stop drinking too, in order to collect my goat?

Do they want to drive me to murder? I guess I could always blame the goat. My victim could 'slip' and 'accidentally' land on the goat's horns.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 23/05/2012 16:27

Can you not get someone else's goat to do a urine sample for you, so you can claim your goat?

I don't drink or smoke can I have something else with horns, like an Ilk?

MissFaversham · 23/05/2012 16:28

Blimey Linerunner, was thinking to get these for my holiday instead of bras and wearing one at a time, I'd be sweating buckets in 3 wouldn't I.

KatieScarlett2833 · 23/05/2012 16:30

I can do you a Funeral Grant Dooin

LineRunner · 23/05/2012 16:31

MissFaversham, depends on the bappness I guess, and what you'll be doing. I have big baps and I am gardening. If I was sitting drinking a cocktail in a slinky frock then maybe one Brevia bra would do. They are £12.97 each. I think the state should pay. It's not my fault I have fucking big baps.

LineRunner · 23/05/2012 16:32

I want a pauper's grave.

KatieScarlett2833 · 23/05/2012 16:33

Sorry Linerunner, could have done you a voucher for Matalan but sadly no more due to the cutz. Outer-wear only.

Sellotape?

D0oinMeCleanin · 23/05/2012 16:34

Why thank you Katie. We find out on the 30th of June if he has a permanant job (in which case we shall be in Turkey by August) or of he has no job at all, in which case I predict I shall be needing the funeral grant by July 1st and a new goat. I imagine the old one would be traumatised.

PinotysaurusRex · 23/05/2012 16:35
Wine
Dawndonna · 23/05/2012 16:38

I don't drink or smoke and I want a sodding buffalo!
So there!
