Summary anyone? :)

[Sparkeleigh]

Delurking to cheer on Chris and to offer to make bunting for the festival.
F u c k y o u a n d t h a t h o r s e would look so cheerful fluttering around the field

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

I can provide the chickens - Dad's a chicken farmer so I reckon he won't miss a hundred or so. DD can join in the synchronised tantrums, and DDog can bark at the horses (he got trampled at one point - it was totally my fault, and he was only bruised, but he's now v scared of horses).

Eldest daughter is an archer and is pretty hot on target, she is desperate for me to let her loose with my pointy arrows as she is only allowed the soft set, we could both use UW as a target as I could do with a challenge and she quite fancies being William tell. Also I can bring a belly dancing troop who will bring a drummer and we can party hard.

[HemlockYewglimmer]

Delurking to offer 4 DCs who can all wail and tantrum spectacularly (and have been practicing this evening in preparation), one load of Rainbows, one Brownie pack, one Beaver colony and I have won awards for my recorder playing (25 years ago, once you've learnt you can never forget?).

But you have my full admiration Chris, you've dealt with it all with such patience and grace

[newfavouritething]

Good grief, how big IS the field? Will everyone fit in?

[swampytiggaa]

aren't we a talented and generous bunch? giving our time and skills so freely not even trying to swop our skills for shergar :polishes halo and debates colour for the fuckyou jamboree necker and woggle:

[nickymanchester]

I will offer my Rainbow pack ... - they drive me to drink every week

swampytiggaa

we could have a guiding/scouting jamboree ... whilst all the leaders get stuck into the beer tent

These comments made me smile. I've never been involved with Scouts or Guides myself but my mum was a leader for more than 20 years, everything from an Assistant Cub Scout Leader right up to some quite high up appointments at county level, and the stories she used to tell me about what they got up to as leaders were just incredible.

It's nice to know that she probably wasn't exaggerating.

A friend of mine is also a current leader and she was at the recent winter camp:-

I am seriously impressed by all you guys that are leaders.

I know it's totally off topic, but to all scout and guide leaders

[nickymanchester]

I'm old enough to have heard of Nigel Molesworth - although all the books were published many many MANY years before I was born I hasten to add

[BaronessBomburst]

FairPhyllis looks like Bogeyman has already provided an organ.

[swampytiggaa]

thank you nickymanchester I am a very lowly assistant leader but I enjoy my time with the little horrors. the leadership team we have are brilliant and are very supportive. one of the cub leaders helps with our rival scout group as they were struggling for leaders and no one wanted it to fold.

Saggy were you at the New Forest show? If so I might have had one or three of your pork pies and lived Lovely!


I've just remembered how some friends of mine accidently started a horse sanctuary. They moved into their dream house in the country and someone asked them to take an old horse that was going to be put down as they had an empty field. Then word got round and you can guess the rest. They ended up registering as a charity so they could raise money as they couldn't afford the keep of all the horses and last time I visited they were renting extra land from local farmers.

Don't suppose you wanted to hear that though .

[Pixel]

P.s they had one horse that was 50 years old.

[MrsMot]

I can muster 46 Beaver Scouts from my Scout group plus about 120 Mini rugby players from my boys' teams... would that do?

Oh and we have plenty of tents, bunting and a ukelele or two!

[ChasedByBees]

brings glowsticks

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Spark, love the bunting. I'd put it up in my living room to gaze at fondly after the festival

Cheddar I've put you down for chickens

Ice baby, belly dancers and archery? How could it possibly go wrong. Would dd like a go on a yew long bow?

Hemlock and award winning recorder player! Amazing .

New favourite, it's Tardis like

Swampy, we all get free halos on entry.

Nicky I concur

Baroness and an impressive organ it is too.

Pixel, that is not happening! But at least if it did it would be me caring for my wards on my land. 50?! I thought it was 40 max!!!

MrsMot I'm a sucker for a uke. I'm just learning and it's great. We shall have a grand old campfire sing along.

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Chased, I knew we'd forgotten something!

[Pixel]

ahem

here's another.

[CiderwithBuda]

De lurking to say you are all quite quite mad!

I can bring a kangaroo. Looks like a black Labrador but she thinks she is a kangaroo and bounces a lot. I don't camp either so can you build me a nice cabin please?

[Bonzodoodah]

OOh ukeleles are in?? Great I'll bring mine and play it whilst riding the unicycle!

[RoadKillBunny]

Ohh lots of guiding and scouting now as well as my 26 Brownies I am sure ds and his beaver colony would be happy to pitch up to along with the rainbows. Could twist it into a thinking day event just about!
Now I know it could push the luck rather but you could throw in pony club camp, I am sure pony club would tear UW to bits about her poor standards of responsible equine ownership! Maybe pony club could have camp before FuckYouFest (TM) to ensure UW and the horse she rode in on does indeed fuck off before the festival arrives!
I could also mosey on over in my profestional capacity and charge UW my going rate as a freelance groom, you could state that having a profestional in was a condition of them being allowed to stay out the notice period, if they refuse then they have to fuck off within 48 hours... Maybe not but I have to tout for business somehow and all my current clients are far to lovely, knowledgable and sensible and there is no fun in that!
I would work for you for nothing though Chris, my dutys could be to follow them around while they trespass on your property while telling them how they are doing everything wrong and pointing out all the bits of poo they missed.

[enriquetheringbearinglizard]

newfavourite I'm also thinking Chris is going to need to buy more land to annexe for the ANNUAL MN FYF.

Just imagine if UW got to read these threads.

I'm beginning to worry that this one might fill up too before there's a conclusion.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Pixel. No. We don't go that far from home.
(only time I've been there I was part of the musical drive of heavy horses and a pair of appaloosa stallions got loose and had a fight! 18 years ago!)
I know lots of medieval reenactors. We could have Richard the third fights Oliver Cromwell vs the vikings! It'd be a total bloodbath blast!

[PoshPenny]

Just checking in...

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Road kill you're a treasure :)

Pixel, I'm completely ignoring that... 56?!

Cider I think there'll be more than one kangadog.

And yes, ukes are in :)

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Enrique we'll just have to all cwtch. It's what we do in wales.

Saggy, cross-era battles would be amazing.

Hello posh :)
