okay. i love sports. but since saturday. I HATE THE WORLD CUP. btw, this does contain some bad language, sorry but welcome to england.
Saturday 12th June 2010
Went to the yard pretty early, helped muck out for a bit and then took Ladybug out for a ride : ) i thought cos we have a comp on wednesday that i'd just take her for a hack and jump her a little on the sunday. My relaxing hack turned into absolute chaos. Every single car that drove past us, had an england flag hanging off each window. My horse, was terrified. Thanks to the lovely Quinneh, i am aware that its not really a big deal in the USA. Obviously non existant in Canada ‘cause you guys didn’t put in a team, and my condolences to Lara ‘cause Australia lost to germany the other day, but i dunno if its a big deal down under ; ) Football is MASSIVE here. Everyone is going mental for it.
So after my eventful and UNrelaxing hack, the yard owner Lesley asked me too take out her event horse Ted. This horse is gorgeous, expensive, talented and completely UNtraffic proof. Its a nutter. So i was like ‘Uhh okay’ and she asked me too hack round the local village. MASSIVE ERROR. There are flag poles with massive flags, stuff hanging out of windows with ‘ENGLAND’ written all over it. I mean, FOR GODSAKE, people have decorated there wheelie bins!!! (google wheelie bin if you don’t get me and my Englishness) so Ted was terrified, luckily on the way too the village, i met no cars, but it was a massive fight to get him through the village in one piece, so on the way back, of course i have to meet the car with the biggest set of England flags on it i’ve seen so far. I gave the car the hand signal to stop about 20 metres away, and i asked Ted to ride past it, and he was being really nappy so i gave him a smack with the whip (cos he had to learn, not cos im evil) and he moved next to it, before reversing sharply, i kicked him on and he napped again, tapped him this time with the whip and the bloody horse reared. Not too high the first time, but he then did it again, and i swear i was hanging of the damn things ears. The guy in the car was sat texting on his phone, and i was like ‘Sod this’ i wasn’t gonna beat up Lesley’s most expensive and favourite horse over some bloody flags, so i turned around and went down the nearest bridleway that led back to the farm. To be fair, Lesley was like ‘Oh its fine!’ and it was all okay, but i was not happy.
So its about 5 ish when i get home i have a shower and get changed, David comes over tells me all about his exciting weekend in Skegness. He then crashes out on the sofa for an hour whilst watching the pre match stuff about the England game, whilst i come on here and do a few posts. Then we head down to the local sports club/bar where they are showing the football on a massive screen. So it’s all going good when England score in the 4th minute, everyone is hyped and happy, until USA score. Then things start getting edgy.
There is lad in our group of friends called Scouse(real name Dan), and he is OBSESSED with football. He lives and breathes the stuff. He is about 5’6 skinny, blonde and has two metal plates in his head because he is so gobby all the time. He even missed his sister being born last world cup to watch the opening ceremony.
So anyway, he starts getting mouthy and gobbing off.
Scouse: I CANT BELIEVE GREEN DID THAT! WHAT A TOOL! I COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB.
Matt(another friend): He’s only human at the end of the day.
David: Anyone could have done the same thing.
Scouse: I would never have done that!
David: Don’t make yourself out to be that good scouse.
Scouse: I’m ten times better than you mate , no matter how much you big yourself up.
-Davids remarkably calm, probably used to Scouse being gobby, but the rest of us are now feeling awkward because he is being so insulting-
Me: Calm Down Scouse.
Scouse: F*ck off Hannah! You Slag!
-Me and Everyone else is shocked. Matt, Prophet and David stand up(two of my close mates and boyfriend) David proceeds to grab Scouse round the throat-
David: DONT YOU EVER CALL MY GIRLFRIEND A SLAG!
-massive guy called Simon Dommet comes over and breaks it up, tells them to step outside, so seeming as its the end of the match, everyone goes outside. David and Prophet go stand at the end on the porch bit outside, i stand with two friends just off the porch near the door, and then scouse comes out, everyone goes quiet-
Scouse: I’m sorry for callin’ you a slag Hannah, but Camps i’m not apologising to you, Don’t ever grab me round the throat!
David: Whatever Scouse, you want to go some you know i’ll just Kill you.
Scouse: Whatever Camps, we all know your the low life here, 22 years old, living on a camp bed in your parents front room.
-everyone knows that David came back from Australia last year and has been saving to move out whilst working a full time job, and paying off stuff, also he is moving out in a weeks time and is buying back his Audi TT in a months time, so everyone is sort of laughing a little at Scouse and he is getting more stressed.-
-David does a tumbleweed impression, cos no one really cares what Scouse is saying-
Scouse: Hannah, you shouldn’t have got involved.
Me: I was hardly getting involved Scouse. I told you to calm down.
Scouse: You got yourself involved and you had the comment coming!
Me: How can you say that?! Your pathetic! You call David a low life, when you camp in your parents back garden because you argue with your mum over the fact your 20, still live at home share a bedroom with your brother, you think your some football ace when really your the shittest guy on a Saturday team....
-half way through my rant he starts to walk off-
Me: DONT YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME!
-everyone goes quiet and he keeps walking away.-
Simon Domett: You okay Hannah?
Hannah: I’m fine.
Anna(another friend): Your shaking with anger..
Prophet: HANNAH YOU HERO.
Emily(Scouse’s girlfriend): I’m so embarrassed, sorry everyone...
So yeah, that all kicked off. Then me and David go back to Prophets with his girl friend and have a laugh at his and stay there for the night, i have to go home the next morning to pick up my money and phone so we can go buy breakfast from the local Diner ‘cause we are all so hungover. I was checking my facebook on my phone (i <3 my iphone) and i get two notifications saying that ‘Dan Lloyd posted something on your wall’ Then when i click on them i can see they’ve been deleted. So i’m intruiged and check my hotmail, whilst enjoying my bacon and egg roll. The first thing he posted on my wall was “Sorry for calling you a slag, but you did let a 22 year old take your virginity when you were underage. David CRB checked?” Okay, so please don’t think any less of me. Yes, he did, but to make that statement on facebook with some information David had trusted him with is uncalled for, and the fact he made that public on facebook is very damaging as David is CRB checked and he has to be, because he works in construction and sometimes he has to go onsite when they work at schools, so potentially that could be a very damaging statement to make. Then the second thing he wrote was ‘Go see David, he has something to tell you.” So the second one made me panic initially, even though David was sat across the table from me. I asked him and he was like.
David: Oh... okay. Look...
Prophet: Oh for christs sake Camps, man up. Look Hannah, me and Jay(another friend) paid Camps £30 to take us to Shades( a strip club) the other day, and we paid for his entry , it wasn’t his idea, he only went cos we did.
Hannah: I don’t actually care, but why the hell didn’t you tell me?
David: Sorry ....
SO. That is what the world cup does. The world cup upsets horses, starts fights, insults people, causes people to be publically humiliated.
So, that is my little story.
