If I were Sam I'd be riding around the countryside in a suit and hat, telling young ladies to behave with in the presence of Lord Samuel.
To be honest in the home counties its not that uncommon for a family to own horses, especially in the countryside. You only stand out when you are a breeder, if you used to lead a hunt (before the ban - which I support) or own stables.

I am I suppose proud that my family has succeeded and has nice stuff, but its not my stuff. When I earn something im proud that ive earnt it - ie working all summer to take my ex to The Gambia for a week 5* ( :klin: ) or saving for a nice tv, but its just things and it isn't how I want to be as a functioning member of society, i'd happily work for expenses given the line of work I want to go into.

I feel the same, but I'd still ride the horses every now and again.

Wassup people, just had a meeting with my diss supervisor, he forgot what my project is about :sergio:
I love it when the management chain is stretched so thin that they barely know who you are. :D

:D

Yeah, like 99% of people here. Getting your own flat is like one the hardest things ever. Loans are too hard to repay while wages suck by default.
That's where molotovs and automatic weapons come in.

One of my mums horses got shagging at the stables she keeps her foals at and the filly that it shagged gave birth this morning
Cool pix! :tup:

That's lovely, jasper.

And it's strange, the more I find out about you, the more you're like my ex-boyfriend.
:lol: This may not be entirely a good thing, but it's not exactly all bad either.

I feel the same, but I'd still ride the horses every now and again.
I remember eating cavallo in Bellagio, where they sheepish waiter said, "It's a local animal." It is tasty with the right dark sauce. :lick:

Speaking of death. I was driving back from my part time runner/legal assistant job. As a went past the local park I saw a dead dog on the side of the road, across from it children were playing. I thought isn't that ironic, so much joy, innocence, beginning, etc right next to something representative of the end. Then as I came to the end of the park I saw a telephone pole. On the pole was a flyer. The paper read, lost dog, reward if found. The true irony.

You witnessed innocence and joy. That was your reward.

So did you call and collect the money?

My professor is so damn lazy. He didn't come the first week, he only came once the second week, only to introduce himself for 15 minutes and then leave, and today (the third week) he finished the lecture 30 minutes early.
