Fantastic news! I'm glad they're finally acknowledging that they can't just keep using your land for free.

WingDefence- FYF is sounding pretty good!

ColdTeaAgain · 27/01/2014 15:01

Hi OP, just been reading both threads this afternoon while DD is asleep on my chest and you updated while I was reading, woo hoo! great news!

Would just like to say a massive well done for how you and your DH have handled this. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that they keep their word and get a move on with rehoming the horses.

Please go ahead with the meadow idea, it sounds so wonderful. Our wildlife so desperately needs little havens like that and it would be fantastic for your DC to explore, I am a little bit Envy Grin

PS. Can I come to FuckYouFest? My DP has three guitars and a banjo and a harmonica but I'll make sure he leaves that at home

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 15:01

Wing :) I do!

Both horses!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 15:04

Fair, and no one will ever know mwahahahahaha!

Eau, the acknowledgment alone is a huge thing

Coldtea, of course you can! Banjos and guitars eh? Dh has guitars, ukes and a mandolin. I reckon he'll be eyeing up banjos with Envy

Chris If you don't wish to give out your address on the internet (entirely reasonable), could you set up a PO Box or something. I would love to send you some seeds to start your meadow off.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 15:29

Ida, that's so nice of you! I can't ask that :) you'll just have to bring them with you (see what I did there?)

Hooray.

Wing, your list is amazing.

Was it you Chris who said Fake It, til you Make It ?
I'm adopting that.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 15:31

Enrique, we'll all be double-hard bastards together :)

EauRouge · 27/01/2014 15:42

I'm a seed hoarder, I'll probably have something for you as well.

Jux · 27/01/2014 15:44

Catching up, but while I do I need to go "ooooh ooooh oooh" - I've got a friend who has a marquee and temporary staging which he hires out for festivals. His stuff would be perfect for this. I'll have a word and make sure he does it for free for FuckYouFest. He'll only want the opportuitdy to wander about with free beer and talk to intelligent people. He's a lovely bloke (and if he goes, then dh is far more likely to bring his band too).

WingDefence · 27/01/2014 15:50

ColdTeaAgain and Jux can you add your bits onto the list please (alphabetical order else I'll start to twitch Wink)!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 16:00

Eau :)

Jux that would be amazing Grin

Have just ploughed through both threads - phew! Decided to delurk and post.
So glad that you are making progress and hopefully you will soon be horse free!
When do the festival tickets go on sale?! Grin

BlackeyedSusan · 27/01/2014 16:04

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 16:07

To the tune of Macarena!

Women saved a stallion, in a field is was lonely
Bought another one, so now he has a friend who's a pony
Outstayed their welcome and thought Chris had no back boney
They were wrooooonng, bye bye horsies!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 16:11

Glaikit you are brilliant. I just spat out my tea!

GlaikitFizzog · 27/01/2014 16:14

Many years writing panto parodies! I sing songs along to the radio and realise I don't know the real words, just the parody! Stand up and tan, instead of stand by your man being one! Not one of mine, but hilarious!

Perhaps I could be a travelling minstrel at FYF!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 16:25

You're hired!

OP posts:
Jux · 27/01/2014 16:38

We have lutes too! I had completely forgotten about them. Also a whole big box of various percussion instruments.

DH's drummer takes old knackered cars and sorts them, so if you do find a Morris Minor he could get it running when he's not drumming at the Fest.

The friend with the marquee runs a TV studio and films lots of mini-festivals round here. He won't mind setting up a few cameras and some sound stuff. The drummer also has a recording studio so when he's not fixing the Morris or drumming he could do some recording too. The bass player's a kind of janitor too so he could clean the loos......

Wing, I'll add my extras to your list but can't c&p on this silly device, so will have to do it later when I get to the pc.

Jux · 27/01/2014 16:39

Chris, finally caught up. Brilliant news. Empty shed, and likelihood of horse-moving shenanigans. Hooray GrinGrin

RenterNomad · 27/01/2014 16:41

BOTH HORSES?!?!?!!!

ACE!

Stropzilla · 27/01/2014 16:45
