Wednesday stops everything to talk about some horses

Why does no one want to buy my Girls Aloud ticket. Why do none of my friends have my taste in music :angry:
 
Do we know if the horses are ok? Particularly the white one who was covered in blood?

It looked more like red paint to me…
 
Talking of ANIMALS though I’m getting a kitten soon and went shopping to buy lots of kitten stuff. I’m so excited! 🥰
 
I'm surprised they weren't SHOT.

That's the USUAL racket when a horse goes OUT OF LINE, isn' t it? ANIMAL MADNESS rather than them just being a bit IRKED at having to WORK AS OUR SLAVES.

I was thinking the same. :(

OH THE ANIMAL IS CRAZY LETS KILL IT!

Both of the horses I saw were absolutely frantic with fear.
 
Apparently "they belong to the Household Cavalry and were preparing to be inspected ahead of rehearsals for the King's birthday parade, which is due to take place in June"

And they got spooked by noise from nearby building work.

How long before someone blames Meghan :disco:

They were kicking off at having anything to do with that nonsensical WASTE OF MONEY.

They usually only get shot when the vet can't mend them. My friend has had to have a few of hers put down over the years and she rings a special vet who turns up with his bolt-gun then he used to take the carcass away to donate to the local hunt for feeding the dogs. Not sure whether that still happens now that there aren't any hunts, I'll have to ask her.

All such a HAPPY END for our HORSEY PALS!

I only discovered what happened to them when she'd had one of the ponies put to sleep and I asked whether they would bury him on the farm. She said he'd gone to the hunt and I thought it was a euphemism for heaven, it wasn't. Proper countryfolk are weird.
 
I quite like the idea of animals being used to feed other animals once dead. I mean obviously not if owners want to buy it cremate them.

I've always said If it was legal I'd be happy to be fed to wild animals when I died. I could feed an army of foxes for a year!

I quite fancied my carcass being sent to a Body Farm where they study it rotting for forensic purposes to help solve crimes but I think they're all in the US. You can also donate yourself to Body Worlds for Plastination. I told Mr F to dump me in somebody's skip if he can get away with it.

I commissioned an article on turning humans into compost - you can be turned into quite a decent amount of fertiliser.

Yeah I have absolutely no interest in what happens to me once I'm dead. I don't want a big funeral or fancy coffin. Chuck me over the side of an isle of Wight ferry Into the Solent!
 
Well I'm shattered, but such a nice bunch of kids.

Back there on Friday and invigilation in the morning tomorrow.

Next week we're off to London for a show and then out on Friday for another ABBA tribute night with food and booze. Getting busy again and I'm fucking delighted about it.

Photos please!

Well done on getting a moggy. I want my next one to be ginger and white.

I’ll post some when he’s here! He’s super cute!

I wasn’t willing to forego the on-going expense on a pedigree in the end, as beautiful as they are. Plus the almost guaranteed shortened lifespan…
