I'll trade ya! Take my place in JBR, and me and the Mrs. will go frolick in the snow. I need some cold and the boss would like some 1-on-1 with the animals. We'll rent a car though, seems yours don't work so well. Not too keen on DDS being there, he can stay in the barn with the other exotics.

You're grasping at straws Chocs.
I am still trying to place where I know that sheep on the left from.
Grasping at straws with regards to what exactly? It;s a valid point!
I fail to see why the subject matter of every post has to be related to Dubai or the UAE? the Forum is for the benefit of the Dubai English speaking community and I can find no reference anywhere that specifies what you are constantly complaining about!
It also has to be noted that while the majority of posts are not Dubai or UAE related, your constant moaning is invariably aimed at one particular individual, why is that?
Have the voting rounds started for the 2010/11 Miss Dubai Forums started again without them being announced?

No, you're right Chocs, it's nothing to do with Dubai, but it's the festive season and people think of home. England is so pretty at the moment and I thought I'd share with those who hanker after some chilly days. I can't see the harm really. Don't worry about Beth, I picked a shot where you can't really see her just that big sun behind her.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you
Have a nice day Chocs.

The horses are pets Zubber, I have 6 miniture ones, and a full sized one for Beth to ride. The sheep started as pets, I rescued one from the Foot and Mouth episode in 2001 and I now have over 30, such are the breeding habits of sheep.
They just roam about Zubber, no bother. I have to watch the horses, they like to try to get in the house, it wouldn't be the first time I've caught one watching the TV, it ruins me shag pile!
That maybe so, but I still don't think it's appropriate to be putting photos of your kids up here. You're not much more than a troll Dillion - so you know - whatever.
Does bring back memories of where we used to life though with 7 acres of land with sheep, horse etc etc. Don't miss the cold to be honest though or the problems that it causes on a small holding or farm.

5 acres in the tropics solves the problem with the cold. I miss the freedom of riding off into the bush all day. BM said she backs onto a National Park which is ideal. In Dubai I have to pay $$$ to ride someone else's permanently stabled 'trophy' horse for an hour in the desert, which isn't half as fun. I also have to wear a big number 3 on my shirt if I want to look the part back at the club.

LOL oh dear. Yeah i hear you on that one. We used to just hop on bareback and roam the land.
@Chocs, Please don't call my friends Trolls on my festive topic. If you want to do that please do it elsewhere.
@MCL My sheep are very friendly, MCL, as we all are 'up North'
@benwj, my plot is right in the National Park, benwj, runs down to a river which flows from Lake Ullswater. it is beautiful round here. But I do miss Dubai
