The wine and cake recommendations made me think of ‘we want cake, and fine wine…We want the finest wines available to humanity. ‘
Anyone else know that film?
Anyway, definite yes to the wine!
I can see YCBM has replied and I'm late to the party but I knew without googling that it was Withnail and I. The actor who played the pub landlord to whom that line was uttered was Noel Johnson. He was a regular in the village pub I worked in as a student...and a filthy old man. He would have been in his 80s at the time. He lived in flats opposite the pub and at 11.30 every night, after the pub had closed and the staff (mostly young women, I was the youngest at 18-19, the oldest would have been about 28) were leaving he would always be stood stark naked in the window with his hands behind his head and the lights full on. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was married to a famous artist and kept inviting all the female bar staff to his flat to see his wife's paintings. We all declined.Very pleased for you!!

I have a few silver brahmas but they are a bit feckless too. I also had a some rescue battery hens and was thinking about getting more of them but they are not hardy. We have a laced wyandotte cockerel who is a twit. Definitely need more chickens though. Ducks are the next project… maybe a Cheviot tup to borrow and thinking about a cow
I felt like I was making it up at points when I was writing it all down but alas… I was not. When I got the message that they weee collecting the horse while I was at work with short notice I just thought “really?!”
Most of the nutters I’ve met in my life are from the horse world. Granted that experience is in the US, but your story didn’t strike me as “the truth is stranger than fiction”.
On an aside there's a decent hunter chaser called Dorking Cock........
Don’t threaten me with a dead fish!
Looking at that, and wondering why someone was such an a-hole, when they had such a lovely place to keep their horse. What a totally self-absorbed idiot she must be.
Me tooI thought those carrots were your fingers for a moment… that was a weird few seconds.
Enjoy the peace and quiet!
I can see that too nowI thought those carrots were your fingers for a moment… that was a weird few seconds.

I promise I am not that weirdHe seems fine now... he was doing a lovely extended trot across the field yesterday. He is an old boy who was a 2* event horse and did been there done it and had hock operations. It was as suspected I think... Jarred up and stiff from being ragged around. I don't know what they did with him but guessing cantering around on stoney tracks, he hadn't even brushed off never mind had his legs cold hosed etc.. last year he did hunt and fun rides with a teenager (with me on my other horse) and had a great time but you just need to be aware of the ground and provide correct after-care etc.
