So I snapped my best horsey friends broom with my super human strength and we have had a of a run in about it (long text story) and I ended up comparing her to my ex husband :confused::( WTF :o and now feeling very rubbish! :(:(

MissChaos I am sorry! Hopefully you'll read this!!

Anyone else ever fallen out over a broom or yard tool??
 
It was a close run thing about the shavings fork (in two bits) and the scarred wood on the stable door :eek: We rose above it however, helped by a replacement fork of a similar vintage :D
 
wot on earth is a gorilla broom?? they sound scary! MissChaos has since texted me and I am forgiven (I think) until of course I break her pitch fork and compare her to my ex mother-in-law! :eek:
 
are gorilla brooms awesome? I am tempted to buy my own for work. The ones we get wear out super fast with all the sweeping we do.

Do they last?
also are they a nice springy swishy brush?
and to they hold dirt which then they deposit furthr down the yard when it falls out your brush?

basicly is it well worth me buying my own super brush rather than using the ones provided at work
 
Oh, dear God :rolleyes: I'm not sure who wants a medal more - Miss Bean, me or our OHs...! :D

I have stopped being very confuzzled and Miss Bean has stopped being confuzzling and we now also have a range of high quality brooms adorning our feed room wall :D and quite possibly psychiatric ambulances en route. In the meantime, I have hit both the G&T (in fairness, that's Monday Medicine) and the ice cream, so Bombay Sapphire and clotted cream local finest to those of you who read this and don't bang your head on your desk! :D
 
PS she is still one of my best mates and I'm still amused that she could snap a decently thick broom handle in half in the first place!x
 
Oh dear! I'm sure she'll see the funny side (as I'm sure we all have reading this!)
Just leave her a surprise new one in her stable tomorrow :-)
 
Lots on our yard swear by the gorilla brush. It's very good for ridged rubber matting too:) I like it but also need my fave 'soft' brush,which is brill on dry concrete-not so good in the wet as the gorilla is ;) I'd say the Gorilla is a useful addition to yard tool collections!
 
Haha I once broke my friends broom because I decided that instead of riding around the fallen broom it was a good idea to ride my freshly backed youngster over it. He clipped his front hoof as he took a step and had a fit, in doing so he planted on fat hoof onto said broom and snapped the pole in two!
Needless to say there was apologies and laughs all round!
 
Can anybody think of another forum where friends have fallen out over a broom, one member nearly fell out with another friend over a broom, another over a shavings fork and the discussion then goes on to compare the merits of types of broom? :D :D

As I explained to you before, it was actually a faulty broom! :D:p

maybe its because us horsey types don't have enough to think or maybe its because we have too much to think about that sometimes its easier to have an argument about a broom? :D
 
Yes though not exactly a friend. Yard freeloader who still owns absolutely no tools 3 yrs after moving on & uses my stuff leaving it either broke, where I can't find it or in the case of the barrow full. So I took to removing the brush heads last winter & hiding them. Then when I found the barrow full again a few days later I tipped it in her stable & took the wheel to keep in my car. The old brush that she had helped wear out was in the haybarn & she dug that out to use whilst muttering about not finding the others. So I said yes, that would be cos I've hidden them. After a rather heated discussion I snapped the old brush in half, just to be spiteful.

You could well be right, or then again we could all just be bonkers :D
 
We'll all end up in the old people's home,bent over from the copious sweeping but still possessively clutching our 'favourite' brooms and swiping anyone we think might be approaching to nick it or maybe sticking it in their wheelchair spokes....

Wow that takes dedication littlelegs, respect for a serious grudge holder :D :D :D :D
 
I love brooms.

I just tried to type 'brooms' and phone turned it into 'bottoms'...

Miss Bean, I would hazard a guess NO broom would have survived that one :p :D

a gorilla broom may have done!

Littlelegs I would have smeared super glue on the wheelbarrow handles ;-)
 
ha ha that would be so funny - Misschaos wheelbarrowhands :D - no, :eek: not quite the same ring as edward scissor hands!
 
I'm glad you two got past your broom incident, that is the true test of friendship I guess :)

On our yard we used to share stuff like that but recent events (unrelated in the main to brooms) have led me to think that at the moment it is best to keep self to self including all horsey and cleaning accoutrements and so forth and so on- if only because I will not be out petty-ied and passive aggressive(d) by mere spoiled little girlies
