I'm sure I read at one point that as long as you declare your presence in the country within either 30 or 90 days of arriving you're not here illegally? Regardless of how you got here.

Ataxerxes posted:And as for livable places, Finland could be an option, especially if you are an EU citizen. Housing prizes are lower than the UK generally and as the housing regulations are stricter the quality is better. It can be much colder here in the winter, though. Do you need to know the language already, or will they hire on the basis that you'll learn it once you arrive? Do you have an idea what regulations are for bringing animals over?

I did a short Y2K contract at Mothercare's head offices way back when. It had previously been a sweet factory and there were superstitions about how many people should ride in the lift, due to one of the sweet factory workers having had an accident and dying in a vat of peanut brittle.

DesperateDan posted:love that "put them to sleep" like they tucked them in with a little pillow and some horlicks rather than drag a tarp around so the cameras can't see and shoot them in the head TBH, we say we're putting them to sleep with our little animals too. You can put a horse down with sedation instead of the gun, but if you don't use enough the horse can start panicing. The gun is quick and the horse has no clue what's happening. CW animal death I watched one of the old riding school horses get put down after she got very sick. One moment the horse was standing, and the next she was down. The fallen stock guy was kind to her when leading her away to do the deed, and treated her body with as much dignity as possible when you're getting a few hundred kilos of animal into a trailer. She got sent of with some willow leaves as she absolutely loved eating them. RIP Nellie you were a good horse.

Bobby Deluxe posted:It does make me wonder how many of the deaths are actually "this is kinder for the animal," and how many are "I can't be arsed to pay for this animal if it's not going to win me shitloads of money." Horses can't really survive broken legs - there's something about the structure of the bone that makes it a mess, and if you did manage to fix the leg the months of box rest (maybe in a sling to help support the weight as they often rest one foot at a time) would wreck the animal's physical condition and probably send it even more doolally than race horses usually are. A lot of unsuccessful racehorses do just get sent on to rehoming places - if you're experienced with horses an OTTB (Off the track throughbred) is a cheap way to get one.

feedmegin posted:Anyone remember the 90s-era UK version of House of Cards? There was a sequel where a thinly-veiled Charles does try to do this (remember he used to be kind of political-activist in a very knit-your-own-muesli kind of way). It does not end up well for him. There was a recentish one as well where Charles basically disintergrates the monarchy. Interestingly enough it had Prince Harry take up with a black 'commoner' long before Meghan Markle was on the scene. Though the TV one was an east london lass rather than an American actress.

Jedit posted:That's an interesting collection of graphics as well. Her Judge Dredd is Case Files 05 and Necropolis, and she also has Watchmen and Preacher on the shelf. Mega-City 1 gets nuked in CF5, Mega-City Two is nuked in Necropolis, Monument Valley is nuked in Preacher (to get rid of the Saint of Killers... and it doesn't work), and the plot of Watchmen revolves around the threat of nuclear war. Looks like there's also the collected Akira volumes on the shelf nearer the cabinet.

I have thought of one thing all this insanity is good for - Lioness* (my horse) should be well desensitized to flags and bunting by the end of the week. * She's Irish, so not named after the footballers. Best guess we have is because she's very noisy (shouts everytime there's any possibility of an unknown horse in hearing distance) and suprisingly brave.

gently caress off. Plenty of quite broke (partially because they have a horse) working class people keep horses too. They're not just a posh thing. Also, if I didn't have a horse I wouldn't be able to share pictures of cute little Apple to the discord.

Sanford posted:My wife and I have discussed and agreed acceptable levels of horse and you are definitely on the right side (black and white hairy horse) and not the wrong side (tall smooth brown posh horse). Thank you, though little Apple is a bogoff foal that I helped feed last year. Mine is half way between hairy workhorse and smooth brown thing. (Irish draught X Friesian. She's impressive looking and very powerful. Occasionally that power gets used for good, but I've had a lot of flying lessons from her).

It's because the riders of fancy horses are terrified that the horses will freak out and hurt themselves, whereas swamp ponies tend to be both steadier and smarter.

Never did go. My dad spent time on a Kibbutz in the 60s. They were up on the Golan heights; he has a few pretty wild stories. When herding (it was a cattle herding kibbutz) up on the border they used to carry rifles just in case the Syrian guards started getting trigger happy. Also had a mig fly over him and fire missiles at something down the valley; he said that until it went over he thought it was going to fire at him because he was the only thing that he could see that looked like a target. He also got literally thrown out of Egypt because of the Israeli stamps in his passport. eta: Have some bougie meatballs-to-be having a layin.
