On a totally unrelated matter, Techno, did that brown enevelope arrive? 

[Techno]

Last brown envelope that arrived was on Monday.....and that was a padded one from Leon.

Should we be party to this conversation....

Should we be party to this conversation....

What did I get myself into? 

[fsn]

If you find out - let me know.

It's mostly harmless, great fun and occasionally informative.

But I'm still not sure what it is.

I stick around because they haven't barred me.


Which is unusual.

They were only horse dollies.

That just makes it sound worse !!

I think you've already sussed out the forum, G.

As Nobby (fsn) says

It's mostly harmless, great fun and occasionally informative.

The 'Gang' are incredibly helpful....Very knowledgeable....wonderfully supportive and encouraging.....and on many occasions.....Barking mad !
There IS a certain amount of urine extraction.....A lot of which seems to aimed at yours truly....But it's all done with tongue in cheek. (It better be...   )

That all sounds rather unpleasant.

You have to admit, that does sound like some kind of drug, probably based on ketamine.

Ketamine, I will remind you "induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief, sedation, and memory loss."

Talking of horses, the mounted section has some lovely entries today!

[Techno]

That's certainly a difficult category to decide on.....And it's not the only one.
I'm SO glad it's not down to just the five (?) of us to decide this year.

OK, Nobby.....True story, (as far as I know)....as told to us by our then horse vet, when Von and I lived in Nottinghamshire.

Mrs 'X' had a horse that needed to be sedated in a couple of days time, for a minor procedure (Don't ask..I don't know).....this particular gee-gee was a bit of a b*gger when being approached by a stranger (or a vet who it recognised)...and was likely to 'go off on one'......ie. completely bonkers...So it needed sedating before being approached.

The horsey vet prescribed a very strong horse tranquilizer.... to be administered a few hours before the horse needed to be 'calmed down'.
As the drug wasn't due to be given for about 2 days....The vet left Mrs 'X' the horse pills....which she put in a tumbler, inside one of her kitchen cupboards.

Unfortunately.....Mr 'X' woke up in a bleary eyed state.....and wanted a glass of water that evening.
You can guess what happened....He picked up the glass with the pills in it.......topped it up with cold water....And glugged down the water and ALL the horse pills.

He was allegedly 'completely out of it' (comatose) for three days, and in hospital, before Mrs X cottoned on to the fact that the horse pills were missing, and her husband might not have had a stroke or heart attack.

Mr X apparently made a full recovery.....after a few days.

Am I allowed to move my Elephant to Single Base rather than having 3 entries in one category, or is it stuck where I first entered it?

[Techno]

Over to Leon. 

My guess is that, that would be OK.

That's fine, I've moved it over to the Single Base instead, and good luck!

Thanks Leon!
