Bloody Hell..while I was out of the office a Horse came belting along the Dual Carraigeway, and turned into our Car Park! Karen looked out of the window to see it trotting past the office and into the Refurb Yard, where our 60 yr old Painter Cecil was having his lunchtime kip in the van. Cecil woke up when he heard the clip-clopping, shot out of the van and managed to grab the horses chain and tie the fecker to our gate! Kaz rang the Fegs but before they got here a Gypo-type came in a van, bundled the Hoss into the back mumbling "He's done this before" and nashed off!

I always miss the good stuff, me.

i just called in for a chat....neigh a natter!

One of the lads I play cricket with wrote his car off hitting a COW on the seal sands road a few weeks ago. He was coming back from Bilingham at about 11PM, when it was obviously pitch black and didn't see the thing until it was too late. It made a right mess of car. He went to speak to the farmer the day after who said it couldn't have been one of his cows as none of his where either limping or dead

Who the fook did it belong to then!?

Anyway we played the next day and the poor lad was subjected to one of the worst days of piss taking ever, from awful puns such as "Are you warm enough Mr X or shall I get you a Jersey" to just simply mooing at him every touch of the ball he got. Even in the match report in the Mail on the Monday said Mr X holed out to cow corner when in fact he was caught behind rolfl

Take it home for the garden.

I remember when I was a kid there was a mad rush from all of the gardeners in our street to get the horse shyte from the road when the rag and bone man had been.

The Lowcocks wagon used to come round Southbrooke late 70s / early 80s when I lived there- is that the one you mean?

Plus Stonehouse's blue butchers van from Greatham used to come and we'd chase in the house to get pennies to buy a piece of fruit off him.

i think that might have been the one you got a crate of glass bottles that you had to give him back the next week for a free bottle of pop happy days.

also everyone down here thinks i am mad that we still get the tea delivered at home via ringtons they think its sounds like victorian times
