Do tiny folk need a boost to get on them?


Just wondered.

Nah!

How many hands high is the horse & how tall is the child?

The horse is a really, really high one, and the 'child' is about 57, but pretends to be a lot less.

There are so many high horses around this house I'm thinking of building a stable.

I find getting on them isn't the problem - its getting back off them that causes the major damage.

I hear the view between the ears is to be wondered at though Fez.

Similar, but not quite as good as, the view from the moral high ground.

If someone were on their high horse, and took the moral high ground on it.......what a spectacular and beloved character they would surely be.


Or a complete divot, i'm undecided.

And what a fall from Grace that would be [Grace is the horse btw] tumbling ass over down the slippery slope of Itoldyou Towindyourneckin, highest peak for miles around.

Coming to rest at the bottom, with their dignity in Ttatters (Tatters being the name of their faithful old , and their pride dented.

Ah, tis a sad tale of dismal deeds done in a dastardly fahion, to be sure.

Dastardly Fashions - for the new range of sackcloth clothing to be worn while eating humble pie and getting the dents in the Pride [new from Skoda] sucked out.

You're a little too good at this for my liking Fez.

Is it YOU that is often to be found in High Dudgeon (A little seaside resort just outside Low Watermark), with your Dander up and your pomposity being pricked by the thistles?

High Dudgeon - moi - nah not me I try to stay around High Falutin with my manual from Noseitall dandering 'bout with the infamous Shoudvnownbettre's - looking down on the High Dudgeon's from top of Mount Perfect [the high horse with saddle room for all the family].

And there's me thinking Mount Perfect was the one next to Olympus (Often viewed in camera), from whence the lesser Gods looked down upon us mere mortals (The ones fitted with coils especially), and judged the nefarious ne'er do-wells.

It's just been pointed out to me by the way;

High Horses are one's which hum a little in the summer, and High Ground is a coffee drunk at altitude by climbers.

High Hopes presumably are particularly athletic, but dyslexic, frogs.

High life is what folks with a drug problem live.....high spirits are alcoholic .......high handed are poker players on a plane......oh, and Hi Karate was a very dangerous aftershave.

*Sniff sniff*

Surely Hi-Karate is a contemporary fragrance worn by the more sophistocated gentleman?

High Heaven is finding the toilet on your charter jet unoccupied.

High Five are Enid Blyton characters in a hot air balloon.

and High Jinks are what we have on Hootoo when the soulless, boring, fun-dodgers will allow it.

High church - is nearer my God to thee.......High ranking is very, very, very smelly [see Hi Karate].........Highlights are stars

Hijacks is a game with a small ball & criss-cross things played during idle moments by airline pilots.

Hi Anty is a traditional greeting on Hootoo when a new researcher joins the fun.

High kicks are what cheeky so & so's receive in the posterior.
