Its the weekend - no work tomorrow and the wine is flowing - who fancies a laugh?

I'll start - if you have read this before, just skip on and add your own funny story.

Driving down a lane one day, daughter (aged 6) points to a little grey pony in a field and says that she would like to start riding again (we tragically lost our "best in the world pony ever" the previous year).

Great, I know the owner, pony bought for Grandchildren, never used, I'll give her a ring :)

Arrange to meet the next day at the yard at 2pm. Daughter and I turn up, owner not there, hang around for a while, owner still doesn't show up. I found a headcollar and went to catch grey pony in the field who had a goat companion.

I struggled and fought with the goat but managed to get pony out and tie her up in the yard. On closer inspection this little grey pony turns out to be an enormous Highland!! Totally unsuitable for scrawny, stick insect, 6yr old daughter :shocked:

But daughter has already fallen in love as pony is the kindest, sweetest thing ever! Still owner hasn't turned up!!

I found a grooming kit and we start to groom the large fat grey pony with daughter declaring undying love. Still owner hasn't turned up! I look around for something suitable to tack it up but can't find any. Daughter thinks owner has forgotten and that we should drive to her house - she lives about half a mile away in the village.

So, we leave large fat grey pony tied up, jump in the car and race off down to the village...........about 200 yrds down the lane I spot owner's car parked in a gateway :confused:

Stick my head over gate to see owner, standing beside a little grey pony all tacked up, checking her watch...............I had got the wrong pony :o :shocked: :shocked:

A quick discussion reveals that owner of the original pony is a "right old battleaxe" apparently - so I throw daughter at owner, leap in car and race back to fat pony, put her back in the field, fighting with angry goat companion, put everything away as I found it and left pretty damn smartish :o

Hell, no.

Seriously?!?! :eek: :eek:

I think you should share some of them with us :p

Gawd some people need to go and get a life!!
 
I don't know whether I ever posted on here about the accidental texts asking a certain well known [and married! :s ] event rider/trainer out.....

lmfao.

In my defense, I thought it was my ex's number! But I'd accidently copied down his bosses number instead,which was underneath his number.....hence was chatting/texting the wrong person for about 2 weeks......


Big. WOOOOPS!

LOL!!!!! Do you really? ha ha ha!!! That made me chuckle.

And Ravenwood, my kids still have school tomorrow - bummer! My Baileys will be flowing tomorrow night... ;) And can't chat with you on FB as they have blocked me from chatting because of "over use"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the sense in THAT??!
 
Lol noooooo XD Was embarassing enough at the time haha....sat there oblivious watching top gear and then getting an actual phone call on the sunday night thinking it was my ex the whole time! Then suddenly all became clear and that it wasn't my ex I'd been texting and trying to organise to meet up with in town for drinkies for my 18th that weekend XD


Ooooh dear. I'm cringing now just thinking back to that lol.

My ex, as soon he realised it was one of his grooms everything was meant for, apparantly got rather ridiculed at work and hasn't lived it down since then! Lmao. Poor lad. I never had to show my face at that yard though, thank god.
 
ok,
Not only have I been guilty of say 'organsm' instead of 'organism' in front of the biology class, I aslso wondered why everyone else was laughing!! - It did click eventually.
At college I also said 'don't stand there, your in the way of the conception' - should have been 'reception', as the radio did the fuzzy noise. - Maybe I just have ''something'' on my mind, but Iam innocent, I assure you!! lol

As to horses, well I was asked to catch Mr P - a chestnut pony from the field with about 30 ponies in. I asked what does the pony look like, chestnut gelding (check) white blaze, some white on three of his legs (ok) I trundle out, pick a halter (and then more) from the gate and see about 12 chestnut ponies! I decide to pick 5 possibles and lead them back to the yard. Did I get the right one?? No such luck! So I repeat the same performance and did get him, but felt such a wally - particually as one of my first possibles was a mare! DOH

Oh tellme abou ti....in one of my history coursework one little tiny mistake I made was 'Mary queen of Scots was a prostitute'.

Apparantly, not the same thing as a protestant!!!
 
Ah bless, just thought of another.

When daugher was really tiny she watched, for the first time, my big old hunter being shod. When all the steam and smoke came off his hoof she burst into tears and said "But I love Ajax" (yes he was grey!)

I think she thought his foot was on fire and in pain - how sweet!
