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

Oh, and to answer your post of 19:51, FYC , I think I speak for most of us when I say I'm a little hurt you don't want us to come and visit when you're sober!

We're lovely, we are - who wouldn't want us?

Apart from NetHunners, natch.

Oh, and those FFJ lot.

And the Daily Misogynist people.

Probably the worldwide corporate staff of Nestlé.

Errmm.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 20:22

Zombie, :) you can always pop over any time.

Pedant, of course I want you to come when I'm sober! The logistics just take over. After a glass of wine I just think, "sod it, bring your sleeping bags and a bottle and we'll make it happen!"

Grin

I want you to all move here and be my neighbours.

DP couldn't stay there longer than a long weekend. I wasn't kidding when I said he gets migraine west of Offa's Dyke.

But a long weekend is just enough time for FYouFeistival.

clank goes the hint

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 15/02/2014 20:45

Chris I am sooooo pleased to hear that reasonableness has won the day and they are gone. keep the shelter, it'll come in ever so handy for the goats and that pony you're going to get for the dcs! Wink Grin

PedantMarina · 15/02/2014 20:47

Or you could turn it into a snack bar at FYouFeistival.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 20:48

Pedant, get over here then!

Saggy Grin I wasn't sure it ever would, but I think RL was pretty formidable in her niceness today. No horse! At
Least not for a little while Wink

IamtheZombie · 15/02/2014 20:48

Zombie would love to do so, Chris. She hasn't worked out who you really are but figured you aren't a million miles away. Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 20:50

Zombie :) I'm no one significant. Just a complete pushover in a field with no horses in it.

(Are there really no horses?! Am I going to wake up in the morning and find this is all a dream?)

OP posts:
SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 15/02/2014 20:52

No no no! no horse. Horses are big and scary and high maintenance and expensive. A nice little shetland that won't eat the dog or the babies and loves cuddles.
...I may know of one or two for sale...
just joking Wink Grin

Lavenderhoney · 15/02/2014 20:52

Fabulous news Chris:)

Anything else on your list of stuff bothering you that man can help you with?:)

A crowd of women heading your way for a festival perhaps, and you have changed your mind:)))???

I hope you and your family really enjoy your field:)

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 20:57

Saggy! Shetland ponies are far too bright for my liking. Can't I have a big, stupid Cleveland bay?

Lavender Grin I think we will. I'm going to go and roll in the mud with the dcs tomorrow. I'm sure I'll think of something for you all to help with the clean up after FYF for a start

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 15/02/2014 20:59

Grin Grin Grin

Zombie does come equipped with lots of camping gear for the FYFest.

She also has a didgeridoo. Not that's she's ever mastered circular breathing to get a sound out of it. But she could practise.

You will wake up tomorrow morning to a dream come true.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 21:03

Zombie, I think that makes 3 didgeridoos! Well, 2 didgeridoos and dh's didgeridon't. You can have your own section in the orchestra.

I do hope it's true :)

PedantMarina · 15/02/2014 21:10

Well, of course we were going to help with cleanup. Don't know if you read that far, but the Vikings leave every site better than when we came (we like to keep our clients). Every ex-tent-patch gets a nice dose of the water barrel, to make up for the lack of sunlight over the last few days. Whole groups conduct a walkover, picking up everything non-organic, whether we brought it there or not. No weeping Native Americans after our events!

birdmomma · 15/02/2014 21:30

Delurking from New Zealand to say hurrah! and congratulations on your empty field.

AngelaDaviesHair · 15/02/2014 21:33

Yaaaay! I would twerk around the sitting room in celebration, but I haven't had enough wine yet.

PedantMarina · 15/02/2014 21:42

Angela ! For shame. It's half-nine already.

Slacker.

AGnu · 15/02/2014 21:45

I lost track of this story about halfway through the first thread. I've spent all day catching up & am so thrilled it's almost all over for you! Enjoy frolicking in your meadow! Grin

Can I join in FYFest? I can keep an eye on the DC while everyone else gets drunk... Maybe I'll organise a petting zoo to occupy them... No horses though! Wink

AngelaDaviesHair · 15/02/2014 21:47

I'm a wine lightweight, sorry. I have to dilute it with sparkling water.

Pixel · 15/02/2014 21:55

Dh asked me earlier if I had any thoughts on where we might go camping this year. I pretended to think seriously about it while thinking it had better be somewhere close since I have to do all the driving and he said "Maybe Wales?". He doesn't know why I laughed Grin.

Glad all is sorted now. It took me a while to find this thread and catch up with everything as our power went off last night, so Classics! Congratulations! Wine

See you all at the festival .

No Patrick Stewart does nothing for me, nor do annoying doctors and their annoying teenage sons who have no business being there, or people with stupid visors or corrugated foreheads. I like Data but he's just a Spock substitute really isn't he

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 21:59

Aaw thanks Chris. I've had a bevy or three two and now I don't know whether I want you all to adopt me, or whether I want to adopt the thread Grin I love the sound of this neighbourhood and it's a international neighbourhood

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 22:39

Argh! Stupid power cut. Just after my last post everything went black.

But I'm back now. I hope for good.

Pedant, I did read that far :) so I trust it will all be immaculate.

Birdmomma! Hello down there! Thank you kindly :)

Angela, get drinking!

AGnu, keeping an eye on the dc is a worthwhile contribution. Welcome to FYF :)

Pixel Grin mid wales has some lovely camping spots... Really. Very nice.

Enrique dh loves puns more than anything. It's like you're family already.

going to sleep smiling at all the lovely new friends I have.

do you think, if assholes (be they of the horse-foisting or car parking space nicking persuasion) knew how many feisty women they united, do you think they'd be less asshole-y?

ponder ponder...

mistlethrush · 15/02/2014 23:08

I'm back, post Gerontius. I'm glad that RL came over... I would say to her (being reasonable) that, if she wanted to come and take the shelter, if she let you know which weekend she was sorting this for and took EVERYTHING it would be fine - but if she decided to leave it it would be fine too.

Clearly trailer does need to go - I think the layby option sounds good.

steppemum · 16/02/2014 00:32

evening all, just got back to read all the pages of celebrations. fab news, so pleased for you Chris.

RL sounds very nice, good person to know I think.

NO horses.

at all

not one

(it's very quiet isn't it)

field obviously needs visitors to liven it up a bit...
