Bloody dumb most of those goats,down one and the rest in the group often stand around looking as if to say what just happened?
The Grandkids of the owners next door round them up on their trail bikes, and get them into one paddock,hoping to sell them.
Usually during the next couple of days,they escape,and the kids are off looking for them again.[biggrin]
Anyway,keeps them busy when they are on holidays from boarding school.[thumbsupbig]
Your only beaten if you think you are. If not keep kicking walking and moving[thumbsupbig]Quote:

I bet you are whizz on the Dance floor though Paul? I can just imagine those shiny Patent Leather pumps flashing in reflected light from the Disco Ball on the ceiling. [smilebigeye]
You have had a "hard" Fridgie life like me, although different, & now it is time to have a rest from all that crap & let your young 'uns carry the load. It will be their turn to have a moan one day. You can step back & offer advice.
. I gave it away in 2000 & bought a Laptop instead.
Now on my 3rd poot & spend more time than is good for me online, & being semi- remote is good to swap bull**** with like minded, dare I say, friends, who I will probably never meet but feel I know many of this bunch here in one form or another.? I certainly have a lot of laughs.
But Paul this Covid crap hasn't helped & a lot of personal contact which I was used to, has faded away & the world has become a bit of an odd place these days for most of us.
What can you do?[tonguewink]

I’ve seen plenty travelling north in WA, never seen a dead one on the side of the roadQuote:

No compensation as they “weren’t negligent”☹️
No,all fine,you are right,what can you do...[biggrin]Quote:

Yes Covid smashed my Mother,before she went,didnt want to go anywhere,**** scared it was going to jump out from somewhere and grab her.All her friends thought the same.They used to Zoom each other but not the same.Actually hit the elderly pretty bad.
Anyway,just looked at an old vid where i dropped a large porker like a sack full of spuds at a measured 250M running flat out.....[thumbsupbig]
Those were the days[thumbsupbig]

A Mamil would make an easy target with all their brightly colored togs though, & it would be a shame to find scorch marks or pellet holes in them.
EDIT. No Joggers were harmed in the making of this post.[biggrin]
