i always thought i'd get a ghia as my 'grown-up' car. still waiting, for both

 

One of the most interesting explanations behind “gets my goat" involves racing horses. As early as the 1700s, goats were used as companion animals to help settle race horses, keeping the notoriously skittish animals relaxed. Taking a horse's pet goat away would have agitated and upset the animal, potentially influencing the outcome of a race.

The practice of providing race horses with companion animals is still widespread, with horses bonding with ponies, chickens, dogs, and a variety of other animals in addition to goats. Many horses do indeed become deeply attached to their companions, exhibiting considerable stress when these animals are removed. Someone taking away a companion animal could negatively impact a horse's performance, and such incidents may have inspired the idiom “gets my goat” among observers.

 

This is what gets my goat at the moment.

 

This is a great chance for someone reading this thred to have a new business opportunies in making bay memorrabilia. They will sell like hot cakes at a tea party

 

The advantage of their not being so many bay window stuff is that you can control the flow! You need to set your family a challenge to ONLY buy you bay window stuff! We have banned my mum from buying split screen stuff and now hardly get anything!

 

or a fox maybe?
