New Year Resolutions....

[Emma 1]

1. I will never again take mobile phone out on drunken night out and end up texting/ringing random persons while under the influence. Especially if they are MFHs and it seems incredibly witty to make less than honourable comments about their prowness with horses or hounds, despite what sense of humour you think they have

2. I will never again take 3 flasks of jumping juice out for a day's sport. No, it isn't for sharing, i will drink the lot, drive home with one eye shut and scare the living daylights out of my passengers.

3. I will not corn my horse up in the unrealistic peception that i will give it an equal amount of exercise when it is dark early, he is covered in mud and i have hangover (see no 2)

4. I will be ladylike and consumate horsewoman at all times, despite the above three lines.

5. I will be ultra good mother and make much more home made jam and marmalade rather than filling every recepticle with sloes for above metioned jumping juice.

6. I will stop making unrealistic resolutions every New Year

emma
with the christmas drink/ drive campaign upon us...i hope your not going to do what you"ve quoted on list number 2!......
lets all have a safe christmas and please dont drink and drive...ive seen the carnage....
enjoy and be safe everyone....

[Emma 1]

Please take my posts as intended - ie tongue in cheek. :p


Your comment is more than valid but as long as you believe everything that you read i may as well gently let you know (courtesy of the News of the World, apparently a popular journal well thumbed by many in the Civil Service), that hamsters really are taking over the world, Lesbos is a Greek island composed entirely of rampant lesbians and your mother has almost definitely been replaced by a three-breasted alien from outer space. Scary but true.

PS may i borrow your handcuffs if i promise to polish them afterwards?

:p I jest (don't arrest me for pulling legs!)

Also curious how you got the name "boys in blue"

Assume was to do with colour of uniform but can't find a current reference to that as you all seem to wear black. Can you therefore confirm that you all either:

1. bruise easily
2. are easily depressed and prone to making melancholy saxophone music in obcure, smoky pubs
3. are really members of a famous Irish band and you just stand in for eachother at each gig?

Curious. :D

Didn't know Sting was Irish!

[greschurch]

Emma....i will pass on your christmas regards to all my fellow "boys in blue"!!...thankfully out of uniform then im a lady in red!!.....red wine, white wine,flask of whisky while standing around in the freezing cold while "policing" the most boring game known as....
FOOTBALL!!
actually our trousers are black, shirts white,coats either yellow or black and jumpers are blue...that means its compulsery to wear outrageous "funky" underwear or socks
next time you stand talking to that "oh so VERY boring know it all" stand and smile and have a guess what they are wearing!!!!!! it works for ME!

and as for tongue in cheek....isnt that wear your suppose to put it??
any one for an Irish jig??

[Emma 1]

think i might end up with some handcuffs after all if i start asking coppers what they're wearing under their uniforms......:eek:

BTW hello to Tracy, our regular hunting policewoman who also rides a mean teamchase and is probably familiar to Sheffield footie fans as the very small brunette on the very large police horse.

[Emma 1]

....for everyones benefit will be asking her at the next ball just exactly what she prefers to wear/where under the uniform.

Ps Greschurch, do you watch The Bill and is it like real life? Do you really employ ex-Eastenders actors and have wild affairs with unsuitable collegues? Do dish the dirt..........:D

[greschurch]

hi emma
yes, the Bill is great isnt it and sooo real!! all that bitching and hissing at each other and thats before we start our shift, after moaning about the previous shift forgetting that the "pot fairy" had left the station many moons ago!!....but thats just like working in a yard though??...i remember those long cold days!!......i worked in racing abit when i left school....in the 80"s.....
one very "mad as a fish trainer", who still lives near me and i sometimes have to cross the street as he is "barking"..was Mr Pat O"Conner...used to be a not so bad jockey in his day and rode in the national centuries ago...worked abit for a few others but didnt get chance to ride my own so decided on a career change!!
any way..thats boring stuff...have a great festive time folks and be safe....................not sorry!!

[Emma 1]

.....the word "pot fairy" has now enlightened me.
Obviously this is a loosely coded reference to the fact that all our esteemed Constables are wild about the Weed and stoned 24/7. Your undisguised revelation that PC Plod is on hashish is quite comforting. Now when they see me doing 100 mph in a 30 mile zone i expect them to merely toss their dreadlocks, say "hey, man" and light another joint. Nice. Probably too laid back to check my tax disc, too.

PS fish trainers. Is this a Southern phenonemon or have you been doing overtime?! :D

[greschurch]

ok Emma..
its a fair cop!!
hands up to everything thrown at me!!
following hounds again tomorrow....fake scent hunting im told..honest!!...tho, i reckon the yellow dusty fairy has lost the pot, i mean plot!!
my sis, another plod is up yorkshire, village of caldwell, foxberry chaser"s country....
new years resolution....?????......less horse stuff.more loving!!...not!!

Went up North for Boxing Day with the Y&A. Good turn out, plenty of red rabbits up that end of Yorkshire ;) also spotted a variety of car-bound teamchasers (lot slower on four wheels than on four legs). Tom was seen sporting his natty Fraggle Rock outfit again :p
Got my first ever bollocking from MFH (lady) for cutting into some seed during minor power steering failure. Talk about regressing, felt like i was 5 years old again. Manged slight redemption of character by regaining enough control to do a galloping side step of the body that landed infront of my horse a bit later on (though only because my horse hates soft ground and considers humans in that catagory).


Ps watch out for Chianti out teamchasing next season: word has it she is having major body parts replaced with titanium to make her bionic horsewoman. :D

Hi Em new body parts are not quite titanium, stainless steel to be precise......would lurrrrrrve to get my hands on some nice new YOUNGish body parts of the opposite gender...know any spare ones rattling about?

[chianti]

hi Emm
did you manage to restore the battery operated device the other evening, or are you still relying on the National Grid for the power!!!!!! lol Dooooo tell, I keep having "Surges" of power myself, but it has nothing to do with my batterys going dead!!

Happy New Year to 1 and All,

(I dont think I will be quite ready this season to TC, only just back on board NY eve for 30 mins, bionic side Yippee, human side not too good!
Shame they didnt do a total re-furb then i could have clanked my way round all the courses, and if any falling off, they could have welded me back together again :)
