I know most of you folk are city dwellers but if there was ever a time to put down your guns, leave the bullet proof vests at home and take a trip to the countryside then this weekend is that time. This weekend is the South of England Show which is a 3 day long agricultural show that takes place at the Ardingly show ground just outside of Haywards Heath. www.seas.org.uk/shows.asp?ID=2There's various horse shows like show jumping, dressage and the gladiator style carraige racing (no gory deaths though I'm afraid). Normally some stunt bike action too. Best of all though you can get up close to all the animals. There's a feathers tent that has a bewildering array of rare breed chickens, ducks, geese and what have you. Last year they even had ducks you could pet, it was awesome! If you like countrysidey stuff then this it's not to be missed. Even if you don't normally it's still a day out trying something different. Even if you don't go I'm going to bore you all with the pictures I take like some dullard mate you know who once saw something and so insists on showing absolutely everybody the picture they took of it. I give it my mcilwaine two thumbs up awesome recommendation |

Any place that has people on things jumping over other things definitely gets my interest up. And I love ducks. Used to have some until I moved to stupid London.

My Dad always used to sing that when he beat my brother at snooker.

Does that mean he used to take your son to snooker to beat him.
If so, singing that while he beats your brother is cruel and usual punishment.

I'm leaving the smoke for Devon! Going surfing! SO HA!
Also: H'ray, Chris Morris. H'ray, snooker-beats.

H'ray, Chris Morris. H'ray, snooker-beats. That sounds like a mis-heard lyric from a Europop song. Or maybe just an actual lyric from a Europop song. |

You may want to check back in the smoke every now and again because we're going to move stuff about. I plan to move Knightsbridge behind my cooker, for example.

I've never understood the fascination with horses. I know people who properly love them. I think it's all down to their eyes, all poetic and soulful. Poetic and soulful eyes do not a noble beast make, my friends. It's time people just grew up.
What exactly is a dressage? It's all just the making horses trot funny and that whilst wearing ribbons, isn't it? Pah. I could do that.

You couldn't even break a horse's arm. But yeah, horses are really quite crap. They're the big stupid robots of the animal world. It's weird that something can be so massive and capable of so little.

Well, they can drag stuff around. And count, in some instances. Not to mention all the, errr, trotting. Taming and domesticating wolves would have been a better move, though. Back in tihe day. They can do curse loads.

Yeah man. If only someone had thought to domesticate wolves.

They did domesticate wolves, that's where we get werewolves from.

I thought that was what we got when they had sex with wolves.

yeah it's about that, 90 metres an hour I'd say. Reckon I'll probably take the GPS guidance upgrade so I can kick back drinking cider during the harvest season

Sweet. Just make sure you don't find yourself in a situation similar to the one in Superman III.

I'm amazed that even to this very day Superman III still has lessons to teach us. It truly was a profound film years ahead of its time

Ha. It looks like it has an enormous... gun... thing sticking out of the top. Like you get on tanks. That's some good posing, though. Well done.
