    My OH is not bothered about the flying bit, but the fact she's stuck in a tube. She hates trains, large cruise ships, lifts and anywhere really enclosed. Never used to bother her but motherhood rewired a few circuits wrong I suspect, so she's a PITA at times.

    She sounds perfectly sensible to me.

    And that perfectly illustrates the irrationality of people, different irrational fears for me, but no less irrational.

    Horses. Terrifying. They'll stove in your head as soon as look at you, then prance on your broken corpse.

    This, I was cycling along the path on the common from the windmill to Camp Road when a horse coming in the opposite direction on the horse track at a gallop jumped the ditch and came straight at me. The rider was just a passenger and screaming, I ended up in the ditch. But at least I didn't get trampled.

    I hate horses, that's why I have an ex. To high maintenance. Nothing more frightening than trying to box or unbox a horse that doesn't want to comply.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    I have no fear of horses.
    I had one. I was told that I would only be a proper rider when I had fallen off 11 times. I got to 27. How I survived I have no idea but I came to the conclusion that the proper rider bit was a myth and I wasn't very good at it.

    When you've got a 17 something hand high thoroughbred kicking off in an unlit livery yard and all you can see are the eyes and sparks off the shoes on the ground. I defy anyone not to be fearful.

    Sure but what you do is just get out of the way.

    And how did you get into that situation in the first place?

    This is how mountain biking and crashing works.

    Got married to the wrong person and some scroat let the horses out of the livery stables after robbing the place. Ours was the last to sort as the other horses or ponies were mainly old rather than a spirited thoroughbred. It took me 5yrs to get out of the way and 15 to stop paying for the mistake.

    Friend got kicked in the face by a horse. Shattered most parts.

    They re-built her though - ridiculously, stupidly impressive surgery.

    Spammers are unlikely to have either but if they did? No.

    Let's be honest, I doubt Samantha is of the female persuasion.

    He's only doing it to wind up Cake Stop. Imagine the reaction on there if the news headlines read 'Prime Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg... :)

    I think there would be a few admissions to A&E.

    The rest of them might get stressed that the NHS would be overwhelmed. And start saying we should all wear masks to protect ourselves from whatever it is.
