The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

[CaveMum]

Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

Have they at least altered the spec or promised him additional support? Fuckers. At least Frankel won't let you down like pesky military bosses.

Speaking of which, Frankel runs his next race at Goodwood next Wednesday (I'll be there of course!). He runs in the Sussex Stakes which he won last year, the race will be live on Channel 4 and is due off at 3.10pm.
His odds will be too prohibitive to back him - he takes on 7 other horses and the best price you can get is 1/10 which means for every £10 you bet you will only get £1 of profit

I expect you all to watch [stern stare]

Would quite like to go, actually. Bastard work and their insistence that I do stuff on weekdays in exchange for my salary. I shall cheer him on from afar.

This that Wednesday 2nd frankelly? I'm sorry everyhthjng has been in turmoil for you both lately. Not fun.

One more day til holibobs! I'm so ready for it! People at work are finding out where they'll be working and Most people are fairly happy. I've realised my likely to be future boss is funny with me because she doesn't respect me. I have no idea what to do about that. Any suggestions?

Imagine winning a baybee after three tries .......doesn't compute.

Almost Faith, Wednesday 1st August

HQ have started removing the posts so apologies if the thread looks a bit odd. It's almost over anyway!

I'm sure there was mention of anew topic earlier in the thread, I'll see if I can find it.

Found it! Next thread was proposed as Superheroes. Anyone want to throw other suggestions into the ring?

Superheroes sounds good to me, FrankelMyDearIDontGiveADamn.

Any idea why she doesn't respect you, faithy?

Did anyone actually win a Cup Wot Noone Has Jizzed In on this fred?

No idea norf. When I first met her she was fine. The idea of working under her makes me want to cry :( Any comment I make is responded with either the implication that I'm stating the obvious or that I'm wrong and frankly plain stupid! It's one thing as my peer but if I get it as a junior .....it's quite another. I dunno, maybe she think I want her job I really don't maybe she just thinks I am thick? Maybe I've pissed her off without realising it (I do have foot in mouth syndrome).

I like the superhero theme. I'm so having a cape!

Ah so the thread name changes?!!! BRILLIANT

Superheroes is awesome.

I am stealing my husbands doohickey so I can impreggeennate meseylf this month. Purlease!!

Hmmmm whiskey is in order

Yes indeed. We are not always horsey (apart from frankel, of course).

I'm quite liking this name change. Think it suits me

In other news, I'm spotting again Starting to wonder if it might be stress related.

FranklelyMr.Shankley - superheros is a fantastic theme (not sure if PESH get a vote?)

had good scanage today - measuring 11+5 and soon to finish the progesterone treatment; finally told my mum so it's starting to feel a bit more real...

And I swear I've never even held a copy of 50 Shades of Shite!

Did you see the online review of 50 Shades of Crud? Flipping hilarious! This was my favourite passage:

"It's this kind of ignorant trash that sets feminism back decades. Women who defend this book are, however unwittingly, participating in some of the most blatant misogyny I've ever witnessed, giving the impression that some women enjoy being debased, abused, and controlled (outside of a consensual dom/sub relationship). This is not a book about BDSM, this is a book about one sick, abusive man and his obsession with a young, naive invertebrate. It's a book about a girl who has absolutely no sense of self, who sacrifices any pretense of individuality in order to hold onto a man who doesn't even show her the faintest glimmer of respect. It's about two attention-starved individuals with the emotional maturity of toilet paper convincing themselves that their relationship is 'like, the best thing ever, OMG'. It's trite, insulting, and dangerous. I fear for any impressionable young women who read this and think that this is how an ideal relationship should operate. If nothing else, it should be issued as a guidebook to mothers around the world to show their daughters the kind of man to avoid at all costs. This book does good men (and indeed, all of humanity) a disservice. "

Some more Frankel related stuff for you.

and will likely start his stallion career.

bugger nice post - nice husband :)

I've not even bothered to open 50 shades of shit. Any thing mass read by women has to be the biggest load of absolute shit. I couldn't do that to my mind.

Ooh. I knew there had been a new fred discussion at some point, but couldn't remember. I love it!

Oh, and I think I love your husband Bugs.

Ooooh no whoops :)

I know a lot of women who liked it. It's just not my cup of tea

Who's doing the new Fred then? D'you want me to do it?

bugs you sound well-adjusted given your circumstances and the plan sounds sensible. I'm glad you've found a kindred spirit in work, even if she's currently diffed at least you know it was a hard fought win and have some idea of who to contact doctor wise now. Bless GP for the thoughtful evening on your anniversary! :)

What does a pissed lemon look like? Well like this

Sorry about work-shit faif.

Yay about superhero, can I be invisible (as new jobs starts and I might have to work for my money) and stabbing oneself with needles surely is a superpower too?

Hurrah for scannage LP.

Boo to HWNN's shit cave.

And kick some people name change, but the accesories change, so I'll pop jolly jumper back in the stable and don some fairy wings and sticky spiderman feet :)
