How to start, well a friend of a friend sort of adopted her, but my friends friends house was burnt to the ground, her and her hubby had to find rented accomadation a consequence of his is they had no room for her, so my friend took her in, she did not want to, it just seemed to be the only option, as my friends friends said they would have her back as soon as they found a bigger house, you guessed? the friends friends moved and did not leave a forwading address, so my friends were stuck with her, i did not know all this until to late by the way, any way this is where i come in, my friends wanted to redecorate the house and asked me if i could look after her for a while, like a fool i said yes, to be honest she is an old cow, i have had her for a week now and i am sick of the sight of her, i put her up in my back bedroom, the room i use as an office, i would have put her in the attic room but that is not heated, any way as i was sick of the sight of her i decided to call round at my friends house to see if they were ready to have her back, to my shock the house was empty, so now i am stuck,
i have two opptions, chuck her out on the street or find another mug to take her in, if you want her here is a pic.

I was thinking a few ounces of c4 up the khyber pass would be quick and kind.

Anyone here ever feel like they are members of a Greek chorus? You know, the ones that chant of doom while the hero dreams of glory?
