To Kick These People Out #3 - the countdown begins

The Beginning

The Middle

The end?

So... Long story short... There are horses, soon there should not be (I'm not good at summaries, they make me sound unreasonable).

We have a date! This Saturday! The horses should be taken away to pastures new, so we can roam the meadow in gingham dresses (dh looks good in a gingham dress) and we can have FuckYouFestivals to our heart's content.

There will be choirs and drums and bands and weapons and stackable goats and so much more!

Anyone who's read the threads knows I love a lurker. I can you see you out there. Go on, jump in while the thread's all new and shiny. You know you want to Wink

QOD, I think they'll add an air of surrealism to proceedings.

Eau :) that's looking on the bright side! Dh just called to say his wing mirror is smashed too. So not completely unscathed.

Do we all get Niall masks? Would we have to form a tribute band? Could I be Jeremy Paxman doing his very scathing "nnnnnnnooo" instead?

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 13/02/2014 13:23

Bad news on the wing mirror, you needed wing defence Wink
Could have been a hell of a lot worse then.

Am feeling relieved now, no need to hide from Steppe and let off on the scarf nabbing. Not too sure about the face masks, those things are a bit creepy.

As you were.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 13:23

Jux, I think they should be handed out randomly and with no explanation. But you can still be Paxman.

Enrique, considering the house is surrounded by trees I'm amazed we are ok :)

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 13/02/2014 13:30

What if a tree had fallen on the horses? eek.

MissHobart · 13/02/2014 13:34

Just seen a woman wearing the horse scarf! Immediately thought of FYFâ?¢! Had a little snigger to myself! Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 13:44

Enrique, then I wouldn't even be able to call a vet because their passports aren't here!

MissH Grin, I'd like to think that whenever any of you see someone wearing said scarf you sidle over and whisper surreptitiously "fuck you Chris"

To which the knowing mn'er will reply, "I'll get me cheesecake"

MrsNutella · 13/02/2014 13:52

Yes, caught up in time.
Shameless place marking.

I saw the horse meat van stall thingy at the market again recently and they had horse meat sausage. Shall I add that to the wurst selection I am bringing?Smile

chris I still think you're awesome and the response of "I'll just get my cheesecake" made me actually lol. But now I want cheesecake...Hmm

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 13/02/2014 13:57

Oh no, the missing passports.

It wasn't me in the scarf, mine hasn't come as yet. If anyone says that to me I'll be the one who replies 'Horrendous weather for stackable goats' Wink and then, depending on said weather I'll siddle off to stand right behind someone on a train platform, flicking my hair, or loiter outside a random house in my car, staring at the householder in an aggressive manner.
You have all been warned.

The thought of goat curry followed by cheesecake is making my slightly queasy now.

Actually if anyone had displayed that kind of behaviour even cheapskate UW might have voluntarily moved the horses Grin

MissHobart · 13/02/2014 14:15

Arf @ FYC! Grin

I like to think I'd dare do that but I'm a wuss I will be doing it in my head every time from now on! I'm gonna get one now even though I have no affinity with horses! Though that's the point isn't it!? To be horse free! Confused Oh, the irony! Hmm

drspouse · 13/02/2014 14:42

Marking place because I'm dying to know if the horse box arrived.

mistlethrush · 13/02/2014 14:59

For those cheering on the (hopefully)) imminent departure of said horses, perhaps you could opt for the dog version instead? Afterall, FYC does want to be able to take her own puppy in the field (although I'm not sure that the said puppy will grow into one of these... but that's beside the point).

MissHobart · 13/02/2014 15:11

Pahahaha! Channel 5 are doing a programme on the kidnapping of Shergar! Keep a look out for a film crew on Saturday Wink

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 15:12

MrsNutella, this thread makes me crave cheesecake. Yes please to horse wurst!

Enrique, I'm glad you read all the threads I do Grin I won't judge you. Promise.

MissHobart, it's an ironic scarf

Drspouse, I've just left on the school run and there's no sign of it yet. I don't think it's going to appear today, but that could be down to the weather rather than anything more sinister.

Mistle, :) I'm glad we're offering a choice of apparel. We're either pro-puppy or anti-stallion. Are you a glass half full or half empty person?

Maybe I should wear both.

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 15:13

MissHobart Grin you never know!

OP posts:
mistlethrush · 13/02/2014 15:33

We would have to get a fabric marker if we're going to be anti-horse and put a red line through every single horse on each scarf though... Not sure what the manufacturers would think - but it would certainly make everyone on the thread VERY identifiable!

Jux · 13/02/2014 16:03

What a good idea. Perhaps the many guides, brownies, scouts, cubs, power rangers and what have you, could be gainfully employed and kept quiet while everyone's arriving, editing the scarves?

JerseySpud · 13/02/2014 16:06

2 days to go! Have you started the hourly countdown yet?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 18:57

Mistle, I really want to "like" your post :) I'm doing that!

Jux, correction, jamboree are doing that!

Jersey... Ready for the update on the horse box?!

Are you?

Anyone want an update?

OP posts:
kappadelta · 13/02/2014 19:00

Yes yed

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 19:01

Kappa, did you bite your tongue in excitement?! Grin

Doha · 13/02/2014 19:04

yes yes yes please !!!!!

kappadelta · 13/02/2014 19:04

Lol I did. And I need to fess up to being a shameless lurker too ?? xx

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 13/02/2014 19:04

Doha Grin I knew I'd tempt some of you delurkers out of hiding.
