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

Squally showers are asqualling. Still gusty. Visibility good, dropping to moderate in some areas.

Magic! We have goats!!! Hurray! It's pretty wet but should be ok with a landrover or similar. Anything with decent tyres would be fine. That would definitely be the best plan and HKL is there so fingers crossed she knows what she's doing.

I'm on pins now.

Aaah yes the inappropriate comment, followed by the blank looks and the 'as you were then'
The IFYFâ„¢ Scarf combined with the comment will be an excellent secret symbol for those in the know.

MagicLlama · 15/02/2014 11:41

Do you want our goats? They are cute -- yet stupid. Moved the feeder at the weekend, and smallgoat just stood where it used to be bleating all confused.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:49

Magic, yes please! Do they eat rushes? That would be useful. I like goats. They amuse me.

Enrique, the scarf will be key :)

So. Erm... Dh has just been down to have a look and there's no one in the field. No horses. No horse box.

The only explanation would be that they loaded them on the road. If so I am appalled by their lack of care for the public and relieved that any damage done I'm in no way liable for (I hope).

There is still a car parked on the drive. So either way we're blocked in. Grr.

But if they are gone I will do my happy dance.

This might be it?!

Is it??

Can it really be?

When should I try out being happy and relieved?!

Bore Grin damnit you've scared them back into the field!!!! Angry

Grin

Dh is going to go and scout.

AlpacaLypse · 15/02/2014 11:52

They're really and truly gone??? (Apart from a car in your drive?)

Am speechless!

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 11:52

Bore there's just a chance that your dramatic delurk was at the very moment the horses were gone.

It's all a bit strange. They've made no contact with you at all Chris?
Not to tell you they've gone? not to say thank you for the field and water and sorry for your inconvenience? nothing?

GiraffesAndButterflies · 15/02/2014 11:53

OMG they've done it?! Congrats OP! Flowers

DorothyBastard · 15/02/2014 11:54

I'm delurking, not delinking, stupid autocorrect!

MagicLlama · 15/02/2014 11:54

They eat anything Sad They even ate the note that told people not to feed them. Idiots!

EauRouge · 15/02/2014 11:55

Shock They've finally gone?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:55

Alpaca, Enrique, giraffe! The car is gone! It might... Oh my god!!!! I thin they've gone!!!

I'm a little bit excited!

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:57

Dorothy, Eau!!!! Grin

Magic! Send em over. I remember a goat eating all my buttons as a child.

OP posts:
BoreOfWhabylon · 15/02/2014 11:57

ooh! Maybe my Dramatic Delurk gave them the final impetus to clatter into horsebox?!

[proud]

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:57

Oh and no, no contact, no comment, no huge bunch of flowers. Just fucked off.

SlightlyDampWellies · 15/02/2014 11:58

Go open that wine!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:58

Bore, I hope so. Dh may still find them tied in the corner of the field.

OP posts:
enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 11:58

Really? Really?
Let us know as soon as Mr C is back with confirmation and then we'll do the happy dance.

Dorothy I think delinking should be your special thing.

I also think the goats eating the Do Not Feed note demonstrates their intelligence and cunning Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 11:59

Dh has just waved from the field! We have visual confirmation! They are gone

OP posts:
BoreOfWhabylon · 15/02/2014 11:59

Gone?

GONE??

Yeee hah!!!!!

Grin
SlightlyDampWellies · 15/02/2014 11:59

YAHOO!!!!!!

HUZZAH!!!!!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 12:00

If someone put a "do not feed cake" sign on me, I'd eat the sign.
