I've always been obsessed by horses, I buy saddles from junk shops, I'm a regular at my local stables, and I think about them constantly. As a child I either wanted a real horse or a rocking horse but got neither, sadly. I made a horse out of old boxes, I had hobbyhorses and I converted the garden wall into a type of horse. I was a kid obsessed.
One day at our small town's Xmas fair they had a raffle, and one prize was a big furry donkey, a huge one. It was amazing and I have never wanted anything so badly before or since. I never win anything, and the tickets were £1.50, all my pocket money, but much against my better judgement I bought one - number 180. I hung about the fair for hours till they did the draw, and the guy finally got to the donkey, waving it about shouting 'Right! Who will be taking Lil Pedro home?'. I remember feeling sick with fear and thought I couldn't bear to see someone else win him. The guy finally finished his spiel, rummaged in the bucket and pulled out...my ticket. I was so stunned I could only wave it, and the crowd pushed me forward to be given my prize. Everyone was laughing because I was clearly so delighted, getting that huge donkey about the same size as me. I carried that 4ft donkey all the way home in the freezing cold and dark, and it was one of the best journeys of my life, I don't think my feet hit the ground once! I kept him for many years - he wasn't a big furry donkey, in my mind he was an Arab steed. I made him his own stable in my bedroom. Ah, happy memories! Sorry that shit story is shit, but it was one of the happiest moments of my young life. :)

Well...

Not a shit story. I liked it, I clicked.

But, to be fair, I've just drank a bottle of wine on an almost empty stomach + only sleeping about 4 hours a night for the last week preparing for a shit-or-bust presentation today (which went very well thankssomuchforasking) == click any vaguely feel good story.

Cheers

Mrs Legless

Has to be up at 7am for a meeting at 8.30am. I don't have to surface until the cats drag me out of bed to feed them.

What Is It With /Talkers
and their obsession with the penis? Is it because they haven't got one or is it because they *have* got one and it's very, very small?

What is it with charmless pricks
and blustering about putting people on ignore and yet continuing to whimper at them?

Cheers.

As Fucking Usual

One of the other /talkers has the communal braincell today so Dr Shambolic makes himself look even more stupid than he usually does.

Does that link say I put someone on ignore? No, it does not.

Braindead dolt.

It says pretty clearly that you're a frilly nancy.
So pipe down, you frilly nancy.

Ah!
Glad the Big Furry Donkey found a good home. Sometimes, little moments like that stay with you for life. Hope you still have your "Arab Steed!"
