To Kick These People Out #3 - the countdown begins

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

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

Dutch oven with f-off thick walls and lid, hot coals.

You're going to have to go have a lie-down now, aren't you, FYC?

Fingers crossed and many special birthday wishes that weather will calm down and horses will go tomorrow

Sorry cos I missed a bit can anyone tell me:

1. Link to horse scarfs and are people really buying them? I'm kind of tempted in a solidarity 'you weren't there maaan, you weren't there' way :)
2. What does RL stand for - am assuming she is the original sensible person you were dealing with before crazy woman took over everything? And UW I've forgotten too ...
3. And I really want to see quantum leaps last episode too! I didn't realise there was one and we get to see if he ever makes it home... Oh exciting

And 4. Are you ok? Anxiety inducing stuff x

Pedant, I am!

The wind's getting up here again. It's horrible out there.

Steppe that sounds just perfect. Let's do that!

Misc, thank you for asking. I'm ok. Tomorrow will be stressful, but with you lot behind me I can move mountains.

UW - unreasonable woman
RL - reasonable lady

:)

Someone else may have to find the link

I tell a lie, here it is!

Patrick Stewart?

Chris I can't give away the ending (to a show that ended 20 years ago) so you'll have to wait and see!

I can offer up frying pan chocolate cake to the bonfire goodies

Ooh oh! Ida, can I guess it! Does he jump back into Al! And then does he have to make the choice to stay as Al forever?!

Apropos of nothing Scott Bakula was very very good in Beyond the Candelabra (as were Matt Damon and Michael Douglas).

Horsey music EP for the Fest :

Keep warm Chris

the scarves are selling fast, there is only one red one left!
Are mn buying them all?
I am really tempted to buy one and walk into the playground all innocent like and wait for someone to point and laugh!

Growingold, I'm going with the Stones :)

It's getting bad here again. I just hope this doesn't do too much damage on top of what we've had already. West Wales has had rather a tough time of it.

Steppe I've just ordered the Teal one

I do hope the weather calms, it's so rough and wet here (other side of the country but I project) RL really is doing her best isn't she.

I am really tempted to buy one and walk into the playground all innocent like and wait for someone to point and laugh
they won't laugh, they'll go 'neeeeeeiiiighh'

Aaaaw it's a Classic.
I bet you never thought Chris, when you started the first thread what it'd become?

And give your DH a big snog from all of us, he sounds a gem.

*and possibly paw at the ground with one foot whilst flicking hair. Although if that should happen I'd back away...slowly

Enrique, I will. Dh deserves a big snog from you all :)

I never thought for one second this would become a classic. It's you guys being so supportive... And I want to thank the horses, and RL for really coming through for us, and dh for all his amazing work, but I couldn't have done it without all you amazing, slightly insane, people out there.

This one's for all you mumsnetters!

FuckYou how can you live near the Isle of Wight? Surely you're on it or not - unless you were on a Solent fort? Where you on a Solent Fort No fucking horses there

@FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse

Amy fine by me. But you will have to tell us what special skill you'll be bringing to the fest :)

Oh hmm. Expert troll swatting skills? To keep any other pests off yer land!

Or face painter, if you all fancy looking like non-descript colourful blobs.

your dh and the earrings made me well up.

What a star. If I give you my phone number, could he give my dh lessons?
(not bitter at all that it is 14th and no card, flowers etc and no, they are not coming later, dh saw mine and said Aw how lovely thank you, I haven't got one
to which I was as I was just about to take him out to breakfast, so he knew which day it was.)

I love him really. He would be good in a horse crisis. Or a wind and storm crisis.
Or any crisis really, that is his job!

Martinsheen good point! A boat ride away, would be more accurate. Maybe I should buy an island and ban horses?

Amy, you can be on sentry-duty. Any sign of the hairy-handed in amongst the attendees and you can see them off. I've got a good image of Amy chasing dh in his gingham dress, around the field, whilst he yelps "I'm Mr Chris! I'm Mr Chris!"

We could have colour coded faces for those who choose not to en-scarf.

Steppe, as long as he's a good dh in general, that's the main thing. And a dh who is good in a crisis is an excellent dh to have. I see my dh as karma for XH. Not that I believe in karma, but it's a nice balance to all that rubbish. XH was good at gift giving, but not a nice person. I'd prefer to have the nice person.

But I do love my earrings :)

Fingers crossed for horse box shenanigans later today!!!

Has cheesecake become a mumsnet 'thing'?! I'm so proud
I wish I could come and eat cheesecake and watch the horses say goodbye - we could offer cheesecake goodybags to everyone except uw of course

Alpaca, you are the FYF caterer :)

Don't think they'll be bringing it today. Think the plan is to do it all in one go tomorrow.

We were hoping to move the location to classics if that's alright with you!

I never like to say 'I told you so'

But...

Nanny, you're always right, so it doesn't even raise an eyebrow when your expectations come to fruition!

Earlier in the week I said to DH 'I don't want flowers on Friday' - he's said 'what's Friday?'

Amy needs to get her UW swatting skills up to scratch too - not been many hairy handed persons in evidence so I hope they stay away!

BTW - Nanny, I reported that post....

Mistle good to see romance ain't dead.

That's a good point. It's UW we need keeping away, and forget the trolls, anyone with 4 legs and a long face will need some serious questioning.
