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

Right, our lights keep flickering.. What is the done thing to prepare for imminent electricity loss? Where are the candles???

More importantly, should I eat the ice cream in the freezer just in case?

Ida, yes you absolutely should eat the ice-cream!

Ida, icecream is your priority

Candles, matches and torches. If you've got jars and tea lights then that's ideal.

We're getting short power cuts every 5/10 minutes.

A couple of cars have been hit by fallen trees and most roads are now closed.

Good Afternoon, awful weather here too.

EduCated sorry to hear you're laid up in bed, but turning a negative into a positive just imagine all three threads to plough through

I have a new proposition as must have accessory. I bring you

a new-ish MN Scarf Everyone who wears one can be clearly identified as inaugural IFYF™ members. People Who.Were.There. and yet need not be outed if the situation calls for discretion

Mr FYC could get one too, might distract from the gingham

PS I got a bit excited when I first thought I'd found a commemorative IFYF™ horsey scarf, until I peered closer and realized they were giraffes

Thank you for all the messages of sympathy regarding the chocorange cheesecake! I did ponder for a good few minutes about just cutting off the licked bits but then saw my cats licking their own bits and just felt a bit about it...

(I would eat the cheesecake) but not the stackable goats. I would eat ordinary goats, and horses. Don't forget that I may be bringing my butcher so line up any unwanted animals.

Foiled by the kids - I had to share the ice cream - pah.
Enrique nice idea - should we be colour coded according to our festival status and sleeping arrangements? Only blue scarves admitted to the Posh Turdises - that sort of thing?

I think we'd better get the curry on already, goat needs long, slow cooking I think.

Alpaca I have to go back and read about the cheesecake related disaster.
Sounds a bit grim.

Ida ooh I wouldn't want us to become elitist, but we could have identifying colours.
They have the following (have added categories, subject to change following suggestions)

white - first aiders
pink - catering
brown - practical assistance
black - security including H&S
beige 1 and beige 2 - supervision of children and the elderly
green - animal husbandry (including goats)
sky blue - musicians and circus entertainment
blue - everything else

Should purple, grey and dark brown come back into stock I'm sure we can allocate those too

oh oh oh, they have more

teal, grey 2 and red. Red should be first aid really shouldn't it.

Maybe security?

Delurking too - fab news!

stackable goat curry would freeze well.

Power has been off for four hours and just came back on. I was reading this thread at the time so wasnt impressed.
Thank you all for making me

Also, I can wear white!

I'm not wearing anything red, I've seen too much Star Trek.

I've heard Lynton is having a goat cull if you need free goats for curry. As goats can easily jump six feet you'll have no need of fences (unless yours are six feet high?!) so we can safely use them for caber tossing followed by a lovely big bonfire for toasting marshmallows like in the guides. Btw if scouts are coming will they please make camp doughnuts? I haven't had one of those for years .

Glad to hear you'll be horse free at the weekend.

I'm starting to get jealous. Having spent the afternoon wading through knee-deep water and standing in howling wind and torrential rain just so ours could have their feet trimmed I think I'd quite like to be horse free by the weekend!

Frozen stackable goat curry would fit nicely in the freezer - kind of like Jenga but with goats

Pixel do NOT bring horses to the IFYF™

Whispers.
I've actually bought the scarf. I think it'll make me smile at inappropriate moments. You are the only people who know. Say nothing to anyone.

Enrique not even a very small one? I'll make sure she wears a scarf.

Hi Chris and the Organising Committee (aka WingDefence).

I have informed the girls that they are booked to appear at FYF. They have kindly volunteered to add Fuck You by Lily Allen to their playlist.

Also DTD2 wants to know if Camp Doughnuts are the ones wearing feather boas? (The joys of teenage humour...)

Pixel you've gone giddy and in danger of losing sight of the raison d'être - you may find yourself relegated to the layby (sans scarf)
*looks sternly in Pixel's general direction

Enrique I'm a bit tempted. What colour did you go for - animal husbandry, catering or entertainment?

Ida was very tempted by animal husbandry, due in no small part to added goats and also the 'everything else' was calling my name. Not quite sure but I settled on practical assistance.

It's so wrong when put like that.

my thoughts exactly Ida. I do love a good bit of curried goat. Sadly , living in rural white monoculture Devon I can only get my hands on a good curried goat when I see my fav Caribbean/ Devon caterer at festivals and the like. She makes good cream teas too.
