Goats and idiots dont mix - Page 3

Couldn't believe it when I read it, where has this woman been all her life? Goats butt that is a fact of life. I have also seen this goat and the enclosure is fine if you stay away from the fence, and as has been pointed out (also in the paper) there is a sign up in the enclosure, don't know why this woman is surprised that the goat got her, she must have been pressed right up against the fence, so it's her own fault. I say leave him where he is, it's only idiots who will have any problems with him.

Of course she's going to sue accyman, isn't that what this story is all about, to try and give this silly old bat a platform to take the council for com-pen-sa-tion, aided and abetted by a gullible Accrington Observer. I think the goat should be given a medal and extra food rations for hurt feelings.

From my reading ot the report in the Observer I too thought she was in the enclosure with the goat.

How on earth did it manage to butt her, and then kick her in the eye?

The goat should stay.

I even think it's ridiculous that warning notices have been put up.

Are notices to be attached to every relevant tree, warning that conkers might fall on your head, and may cause serious damage?

The notices were put up afterwards because of the incident.

Crafted by my own fair hand.

I agree with you, Garinda.

Sadly, it is the way of the world today that notices stating the obvious have to be put up in many places and on many objects......such as ' contains nuts' on peanuts, 'contains milk' on milk, 'sharp blade' on razors,
'do not drink' on perfume etc etc.

This is all to try to stop the 'I'll sue' brigade from getting their hands on money due to their own stupidity.

The goat should definitely stay.

Can we keep the goat and get rid of the stupid woman and idiot reporter?

Loz · 12-07-2008, 13:02

Why is this newsworthy?
Goats butt you,signs warned her,her own stupid fault IMO.

cashman · 12-07-2008, 15:03

think it would be a good idea,if anyone knows her,to get her to read this thread n then she would know what the public think.

We have them too .... One of the funniest is the sign at a crossing on the main CN rail line "Warning: It Is Dangerous to Stop on the Tracks." If anyone is dumb engough to do this, they deserve to get creamed by a fast frieght.

Personally I think the woman is kidding us or it's pandering to a nanny state

You are assuming that she can read

Loz · 12-07-2008, 15:43

Obviously she struggles judging by the fact she seems to have missed the very clear sign behind her in the picture!

I posted earlier today to say that the signs were put up after the incident as a control measure to warn other people.
