Animals I Have Hated
Horses are bastards, and they know that and they play on that fact too. I've never trusted them since the time I went to the circus, and the man said "who would like to ride the shire horse?"

So, 8-year-old me put my hand up, and they put me on the horse. But not before attaching a large, leather belt to my waist, attached to which was a long rope that disappeared up in to the roof of the big top. The horse, encouraged by a smack to the flanks from a wizened old carney, took off.

Around and around the big top it ran, getting faster and faster and faster and faster. "Get up on to your knees!" cried the ringmaster. "Fuck off!" I would have cried back, had I a) not been 8 and b) not been in fear for my very life.

Eventually, when the horse reached maximum velocity (approximately 1,000mph), they whipped it from under me - leaving the belt and rope to do their work. Momentum flung me forwards, the rope stretching behind me, as I soared above the crowd below.

"Aaaaaaargh!" I calmly explained, before the rope snapped me backwards, sending me reeling in the opposite direction like some kind of awful metronome of juvenile screaming, sweating and swearwords such as "Bum!" and "I'MGOINGTODIE!"

Horses: Evil. *Especially* horses that are in the circus.

What animals have you hated, and why?

Alt: There's no alt, ok? Deal with it.

They know, they somehow fucking KNOW that I'm allergic to them, so they insist on rubbing up against my legs.

Staring at a cat is asign of aggression
whereas averting your gaze or closing your eyes is a sign of capitulation. This is why cats always move towards people that don't like them as those people tend to avert their gaze.

simple, stare the fuckers out

A base of carrot, celery, shallot, garlic, tomato puree & mushroom.

Add vegetable or chicken stock and white wine (enough to cover). Add cream just before serving (leave to cool a bit first so the cream doesn't split).

Serve with a jacket potato.

Lusty and I dined at Great Queen St

Gosh that's a boring answer, if only there were an alt.

What's mildly more interesting is that those two Ps in "nipper" up there were both Gs before I spotted them and the P and the G are not even next to each other, which makes for a very interesting subconscious typo.
