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

Yay! I was right about RL needing a pitchfork thus morning then.

Enjoy your horse-free view.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 18:03

Skiing, I read your post to dh just now! How did you know?!

TheSkiingGardener · 15/02/2014 18:06

I think UW just makes me think of pitchforks! I'm sure I'm not the only one given the way she behaves.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 18:09

Skiing, that makes sense Grin

Jux · 15/02/2014 18:13

I think UW is a type - like BinLady on the bollard thread. Just utterly selfish, lazy and rude. They are probably sisters. Ask her, if you see her, if she's got a relative on the Island Grin

I'm quite sad that RL wasn't wearing the scarf, though. I had high hopes that she was actually Enrique in disguise (only joking).

PedantMarina · 15/02/2014 18:15

I missed all the toasts, sorry! If you give me 5 minutes I can go and make myself another FuckYouDiet(&that ex-horse) concoction, then come back and do another toast.

Shall I? (hopeful-icon)

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 18:19

Jux, that would have made a brilliant ending to the story.

Pedant... Well... You did miss it. We can't really have any... Nope can't keep it up! Grab a mug of what you fancy! Dh is off to pop his cork, as it were.

Hurrah for a great outcome, at last! Well done FYC Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 18:47

Thanks, Frankel :) that's Shergar gone forever!

I've just spent an hour reading these threads after seeing them mentioned on the IOW bollard thread. Can't believe I missed them previously.

Glad they're gone.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:00

Viva, that's dedication that is. I hope you mean the horses and not the threads Grin

OP posts:
VivaLeBeaver · 15/02/2014 19:04

Yes, the horses. Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:05

Phew, worried me there for a minute Grin

GlaikitFizzog · 15/02/2014 19:10

Oh, I've missed everything! Ds has he voms (again!) spent the day scrubbing carpet and stripping beds (every bed in the house).

So glad you have your field back!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:20

Glaikit, nah, you're just in time Wine

Sorry ds has the voms. Miserable for you. A friend of mine's ds got Norovirus a couple of months ago, her dh picked him up from school as she was still at work. She got a phone call saying, "what do I do? Ds has thrown up all over the dog!"

Hope you're all better soon

Meerkatwhiskers · 15/02/2014 19:38

Seeing as you love a delurker, I'm delurking to say well done. Have read from the beginning and what a saga. So pleased you have your field back xxx

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 19:40

Home, just in the door and had to see how things are.
Oh no Gaikit, that sounds bad, hope the evening improves for everyone.

Despite all the upsets this thread has been a real warm feeling thread, so I'm going to have a drink to you Chris, Mr Chris, little Chrises, RL and her proper helpers and even the horses.
UW is beyond the pale, staying in bed cos she CBA and bringing past EA into the equation, she's a user through and through. Makes herself out to be a saviour of kinds, but really she wants a good reputation while everyone else does the work.

As an aside, if the field shelter stays it might be dead handy for the IFYFâ„¢

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:50

Meerkat, I do! I'm amazed there's any of you left Grin thank you!

Enrique, you're so lovely. None of you will ever know quite how much this thread has helped at a really difficult time. It's made me laugh and reminded me that there are lots of "givers" out there.

I was a little enraged when RL gave UW's history as a reason for her rudeness. I don't use my past as an excuse to be shitty to people. Of all people she should know it hurts when people treat you badly.

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:51

Is it wrong that after a glass of wine I really want you to all come and visit?

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 15/02/2014 19:56

Zombie has just skim read all 3 threads.

Very well done to Chris, MrChris and all the MNers who have been with the whole way. Zombie apologises for not being here to shake her pompoms.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:59

Thank you, Zombie, you can bring your pom-poms to FYFest if you'd like? We have a grey lady so the undead are very welcome :)

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 15/02/2014 20:08

Zombie and thegreylady will make plans for FYFest next time they meet for coffee in Shrewsbury. Wink

PedantMarina · 15/02/2014 20:09

Wanders back in, Rum&CFDC in hand
