Boxing Day meets

[Emma 1]

Great turnout this end of the country with the Badsworth - hard to count everyone but reckon there was 200 - 250 mounted and more than three times that many, at least, on foot.

So much for the "ban" and the common myth that hunting with hounds is unpopular; this was a fantastic show of support for the countryside and hunting and shows that Blair's opposition is gathering momentum rather than quietly fading into the background.

252 packs (so i am informed) showed out this morning: that makes a lot of supporters. No antis our end, but a good police presence, more to manage the sheer amount of car followers if anything, and each one ready with a "Good morning" and a smile. Bringing up the rear with the odd child straggler, the villagers were still holding up their children for a wave when i jogged through well after the main bunch.

Makes spending most of Xmas morning under the lorry with 2 knackered batteries, half a tool kit, and more swear words than a Jamie Oliver on ampthetamines, worthwhile. :D

Now then do i take that as an insulte????? :angry: or are you trying to say that im better than a normal man ;)

I think if it takes Emma1 that long to sort out two batteries she needs to go to night school for lorry mantainance :lol: Only half a tool kit?? you should have asked santa for the other half ;)

[Emma 1]

Lol, only need a man to pass me the required tool. Failing that i am quite good with my hands.

Should have only taken mere minutes to change the batteries, Mr Wonky, but due to lending horsebox to incompetent MALE driver who bent the frame trying to drive lorry through a narrow gateway of only 20 foot width, <_< , i am left with space to remove batteries smaller than actual battery size. Coupled with bolts that were last unscrewed in the late Jurasssic Period, it was a bitch of a job and i got it done despite turning my jods into fishnet tights (due to acid spillage). So needs a man, humph!

And the first line is not rude.

Honest.

:lol:

[WonkyDonky]

Im sure your very good with your hands, and not in a rude way either ;) So looks like some lessons need to be learnt
1/ dont lend you lorry to anyone ( then you wont have to spend half the morning doing a simple job)
2/ If you do lend it then make sure any damage is fixed right away by those very versitile hands ( so you wont spend half the morning doing a simple job)
3/ Make sure you keep your nut free from rust (so you wont spend half the morning doing a simple job ;) )

Ooooooer can you see a pattern forming :lol: never mind im sure you really had fun doing that bitch (could that be refering to a woman) of a job :lol:
Now that does set the imagination going fishnet jods ;) :D :blink:


Sounds like you had fun anyway, ill have to come sometime, never been on a hunt before

[Emma 1]

You're always welcome, Wonky, i think a conversation about not leting nuts rust would be, if anything, hilarious. :D But maybe that's just my warped sense of humour.

[WonkyDonky]

LOL!!!!!!!! :lol: rusty nuts are no good to anyone :blink: :( but im sure those with those skilled hands of yours on the spanner nothing could go wrong eek

[tom]

never mind the spanners Wonky, you should see how she uses the wd40 :o

[Emma 1]

Tom, i've always found that the amber nectar is a far better method - though more expensive, it's much more productive than WD40.

Only downside is the hangover.

[tom]

But it does lubricate the parts that the amber nectar cant reach ;)

[WonkyDonky]

Hangover!!!!!!! you???? Emma1 no way your far to use to the stuff :unsure: I bet that includes the WD40 too :D eek
