Thank you murder. I've always wondered but never been a good time to ask.

If I remember correctly the goat thing started on a benefits bashing thread where somebody wwas complaining about a woman she knew who was on benefits, had an enormous flat screen TV and could even afford to keep a goat.

YWBU to keep one goat. They need company so you should have at least 2.

MadameDefarge · 31/12/2013 23:18

YouTheCat · 31/12/2013 23:19

I've got a dragon in my shed.

But it's okay cos it's subletting.

Changebagsandtinselrags · 31/12/2013 23:21

Is it goats now? Shall I take the gerbil out of my bum then?

Groovee · 31/12/2013 23:21

They've run out of free goats. It's a sheep now!

GoGoveGo · 31/12/2013 23:22

MimsyBorogroves · 31/12/2013 23:22

My neighbour had a horse in her's. Shat me right up when this massive horse's head poked suddenly through our hedge - we'd had no idea she even had a horse, until then. He was called Ryan. (Katie Hopkins would have hated him). He was a sweetheart.

Groovee · 31/12/2013 23:25

GoGoveGo you obviously weren't poor enough for a sheep!

StripeySherbert · 31/12/2013 23:26

As long as it don't get paid cos that pisses off the higher rate tax payer! It can receive, but don't pay the thing!

EmpressOfTheWellOfLostPlots · 31/12/2013 23:26

So whose goat was the Romanian breast feeding in McD's?

Wherediparkmybroom · 31/12/2013 23:28

Better not be mine she's meant to be babysitting!

Goats are for life, not just for Christmas.

Have you thought about making goats cheese to sell to your neighbours? Might off-set some of the costs.

Milk it quick.

It may not last the night.

Wherediparkmybroom · 31/12/2014 21:57

Goats are so 2013!!! You should really have chickens this year!

AshesOfRoses · 31/12/2014 21:58

Garden?

House?

Goat?

I thought the Tories had "taken care" of people like you by now and you were all in workhouses! Shock

Can I ask where you bought your goat? I've been asking on my local Facebook selling page but nobody will give me theirs.
