I paused this for lunch then when I came back we had a power cut for a minute. Took ages for everything to come back on again. Was very worrying as we had a power cut for 4 hours yesterday ![]() |

With your 'They're all on drugs' mindset, I'd have thought it'd be a brave mosquito that bit any of the athletes competing at the Olympics - the little flying critters might catch something!
Well with what those "Athletes" are on, I'd expect the mosquitos to grow multiple wings and increase in size 5 fold and tranverse the Atlantic ![]() |

No I haven't Leopard.
I have been around part of a BHS Novice event course on an loony ex racehorse, with my instructor, himself a Badminton competitor accompanying me round on his scrambling motorbike, shouting out instructions. I missed out the scary fences but it was a huge adrenalin buzz and great fun. I did take my horse to a UK Chasers course. Where you could blast round a cross country course for the fun if it. I chose to jump the smaller obstacles I don't ride anymore, not since my lovely old horse went to horsey heaven ![]() |
