Phil I hve twoi suggestions - but you would take the post diown if I put them in - one involves export, the other canning 

It's all sorted........without the problem of poisoning any people or pets.

It's very weird with nothing in the big barn at the mo'.
The wee one, that was Angel's companion, is out in one of the fields with one of the cobs.

Glad to hear that, Phil. Only ideas I could give you were what we did when our hamsters died .....

Seriously, how did you solve it? A horse is a totally different proposition from your usual domestic pets. I understand you are allowed to bury horses in Wales provided she is classed as a pet - but you would need a friendly neighbourhood farmer with a digger for that. Nor does it help that you are located at the ends of Wales either. I've only recently found out about the NFSCO (as you know, they do an 'End of Equine Life' service) - was that something you were able to use?

We usually have to get one of the firms that deals with fallen stock.

When a sheep dies, it's basically compulsory to use one of those....We have to have a receipt to show that, that particular sheep is no longer on our land....Tag number required.
Sheep.... £10 to collect......Horses, an awful lot more !

When I got back from the 'Sunday shop' yesterday, Von told me how much Angel had been costing a month. (medication/special food etc.)
Every cloud.....

Cheers - Phil.

Shouldn't you have bought him that pint

I didn't know who he was, I was sitting with a mate and she knew him.

US test pilot General Chuck Yeager, the first person to break the sound barrier (aged 97)

Chuck Yeager...

Chuck Yeager, what a life and a good innings at 97!

A boyhood hero, now entering eternity at Mach 2.5.

 

I was lucky enough to hear him give a keynote address in person, a fascinating man

He also played a recording of him trying to recover a test aircraft from a spin:

• passing through 25 (,000ft) trying x, no response
• passing through 20 (,000ft) trying y, no response
• passing through 15 (,000ft) trying z, no response
• passing through 10 (,000ft) trying a, no response
• passing through 5 (,000ft) trying b,recovered

Sounded incredibly calm and collected throughout

His comment after playing the recording, "nothing focuses the mind as much as the rapid approach of the ground"

Paolo Rossi, 64.

Italian footballer.
1982 world cup winner and top scorer.
Highlight - Hat Trick against Brazil.

64 is no kind of age now.

Remember how great he was in the 1982 World Cup.
