I voted NO.

Why can't people just be happy with other people's good fortune and always try to grab something for themselves? :(

Oh ffs. If she doesn't want her horse being photographed intentionally or not she shouldn't have it in a field with public access alongside. Seriously get a grip woman.

Some really sad news today.

My ex's brother was shot and killed in his kitchen in front of his two little kids in Johanesburg this morning.

Two armed guys just walked in, shot him and then stole stuff. Don't know all the details yet.

So glad I don't live there anymore.

That's appalling regardless of how 'normal' it's considered. Sympathies to you and yours Alf.
