Just want to say, what the.....

I do apologise for taking the p... of the thread on the Roxy chic imposter, I was bored, and I didn't notice it was in CR as I was looking at new posts..
Sorry if I annoyed anyone.

I'm sorry, I know this is in extremely poor taste but I feel I need to point out that somewhere in your (likely still packed) ex-house contents might be something, probably alcoholic, with my name on it . . .

I'm afraid that if you think the thing with your name on it (yes, you were right) is still in situ in any of the three houses we have inhabited since then (or is it two? Lost count...) you have misjudged the TD household: if unclaimed these things are dealt with very fast - there is always some emergency or other which calls for drastic action I'm going to have to buy you some more although if your account of your store cupboard is accurate perhaps more alcohol is somewhat superflous, I'll have to think of something else - a luminous phone cover maybe? Till then, oh all right Missus Stroppy you can have some cyber gin

Hu-hum...if we're passing round the bottle I feel revision evading students should at least be a allowed a swig...in the interest of fairness and all...

Students are just drinking people who are also clever aren't they? So yes, pull up a bar stool

haha little more of the drinking and less of the clever if you don't mind!

Oh, I didn't think you still HAD it. I was merely pointing out that if you had "spare" then perhaps there were people with a greater claim that BD. As I said, none of mine is drinkable yet. (Which didn't stop us over Xmas . . .)

Annoy anyone? You should be so lucky . But just in case you did, a little drop of some obscure Spanish liqueur will make everything ok

Way ahead of you, rioja is my poison, had an 'unpleasant day' today.
Have a cupboard full, name your tipple!

 

[Goldenstar]

Ok not sure if I am brave enough to ask this but will someone explain to this geriatric user exactly what a troll is ?
Then you can return to the bar with my blessing I'm strictly on water after the holiday until my liver return to its normal size .

Surely rioja is for GOOD days? There must be something stronger to deal with the bad ones - you may not be exploring everything Spain has to offer Call yourself an ex-eventer? And I'm sure we can summon up some irritation if you rerally need us to - me, I was just enjoying the good-natured attempts to explain why the photos of the two riders didn't necessarily need to match for the troll theory to hold good

And goldenstar, I believe a troll is someone who goes on a forum and starts a thread, often under a false identity, with the purpose of making trouble - but I could be wrong Now for goodness sake, stop asking your liver to deak with all that water and give it something it is used to

 

[Rosiefan]

Think they live under bridges, sing 'I'm a troll, fol fe rol' and eat Billy Goats Gruff. Hope that helps. Sorry to hear about your liver but ...... water? Really?

 

[Goldenstar]

yes water ... I know fish pee in it ,perhaps you are right and I'll just have a little glass of something when I come in in from doing the horses that's if I'm not blown away it's another awful gale here.
Thanks now I know what a troll is ,knowledge is always useful , I have enjoyed the forum lots since I stopped lurking but it does eat in the the very little time I allocate to house care so now place is major tip.

 

[mik]

Well I have Pedro Jimenez, too sweet, erm, gin, rum (all ages), and some rather fine conac ( ).
no stilton though.
I have to admit to being a terrible tease at times (it amuses me when people don't notice I am teasing). Not usually in cr though, and my skin is like a shark's skin.

Oh, I'm so glad you mentioned this! I kept my trap shut in fear of being called an uppity bit . . . oh, sorry, no offence meant.

T_S, I must have missed that. Iphone browsing and pony wrestling have disadvantages, I've found - pony jiggles, iPhone in pocket, pocket not zipped up, second round of jiggles & phone meets road Straight out of the Pony Club "How Not To..." manual....

ETA: alcoholism, self-depreciating banter and occasional insights of wisdom shall not a clique make... It's an open door (how on earth else did I get in ?)

I think I may have forgotten to close it behind me Anyway, I doubt it's a clique, sounds more like a MOBs Anonymous meeting to me!

Re the phone - I had a similar incident on Xmas Eve, riding and leading in the dark at 6.45am. Horse I was leading was being a t!t, someone rang me, I answered, somehow ended up with the led horse on the wrong side merrily bucking away, dropped phone onto tarmac, got off to get it then realised that both horses are >17hh and I can't get on without a block. Eventually manoeuvred one next to a bank, hopped on then 10mins later met our local pack of hounds out on exercise. Both horses started bucking, dropped phone again. Repeat whole mounting fandango whilst language rapidly deteriorates and kennel huntsman is completely unable to help as he was laughing so much he nearly fell off his bicycle .

Holey moley - what a thread for CR!!!!!! I do have to admit that the forum has been slightly crazy recently, however, in whatever format it is, its a great escape in the office. I close my office door and have a nose at whatever is going down on the forum. It certainly makes going through budgets, or checking your staff's applicant registrations bearable, and dealing with landlords and tenants gripes and groans seem not so bad, and makes me smile. Even my PA has been known to have a peek, and I have now converted her to being slightly horsey and she has been known to go to events to watch Mini TX, and we are hoping to go off and see the Cadre Noir in the UK, and she is nagging me to take her to watch Mini TX do some BD, so a convert ........... success ........

I think as in real life there are stronger and more dominant and interesting personalities and there's nothing you can do about this. I have to be honest and have found it a supportive and fairly happy place. Its help me help Mini TX out with some problems she has had as well. However, I have never been given a really hard time, and certainly dont feel unworthy to post here. Its a forum and open to all and lets all celebrate each other's success, no matter how big or small. I will admit to not being a fan of the matchy matchy brigade and find a lot of it a bit smug and self congratulatory, but I dont comment on it and let it pass me by, it hurts no one and if it gives people pleasure to spend a huge proportion of their disposable income in Anky etc, then its their money and who cares.

Lets raise a glass or two of whatever is your poison (a nice fizzy Zinfandel or a huge glass of Baileys on this occasion, failiing that, whatever is on offer and I do like sloe gin .......) to CR and all of us idiots who post on it! Huge group hug as well............. hic ...... hic .......

 

[NR99]

TX - where have you been, wise words as always

Now I have a Baileys you can have, it's the coffee version (bizarre) not sure I like it - on ice or straight up?

 

[TheoryX1]

NR99 - I have actually been working all day. Staff Performance Reviews. Great for keeping your perspective, not good for the sanity, hence the alcoholic comments. God, get me a drink ........ Nice to hear that you feel my comments are wise, I nearly hit my two business partners today (both male, nickname dumb and even dumber), who were being overly critical of my management style. No time for HHO as we used my office and I had dumb and dumber with me all day......... Hmm, another week of this, hmm.....

I just say 'Girls on Top' and to hell with them.

Baileys in any shape is great. Just send it on over. I'm not too fussy.

NR99 I just realised I was very wude in not responding to your reply, I do apologise, it's TarrSteps, she was goading me in a most un-Canadian way and was making me all of a dither Of course I realise you are game for all off piste thread activities, especially if they relate to alcohol You must be very proud of this thread, it is certainly multi-dimensional and inclusive, and to have generated the first CR group hug of 2012 is an achievement indeed

Not wude at all, this is a very casual thred it's happy for people to dip in and out as they please Though it does hope all visitors come armed with a tipple for all participants or what would be the point

Having spent 2 weeks with little t'interweb I've completely missed what's going on, all I know is I rarely post my little reports anyway but over the last year we've managed to go from 3 harness horses, 1 ptp and 1 NH to 1 harness and 1 NH so we've not had much news (although there is a lot less mucking out ).
So I'm going to take the port that various kind clients gave my teetotal father for christmas and retreat to back the safety of under the table away from trolls and other nutters.
