Very funny!! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Thanks for enlightening us!

May I be so bold as to make a teeny-tiny adjustment to the Belgian paragraph? I do believe the "French" cows are in fact "Walloon" (since France is not - yet - part of Belgium. Although I am sure the Walloons would be very happy about this scenario). grin

Oh, and cows are usually "she" (not "he"). wave

Yup - good new pic, Jacko! thumbs up

Excellent political insights....heard some of them before but some are new and very good.

The Welsh system - Your mother is a bit of an old cow, but your dad doesn't mind you finding yourself a lovely little bit of Welsh lamb. The lamb doesn't like the old cow. The old cow doesn't like the little lamb and calls her 'a bit of crumpet'. You discover you love a bit of crumpet on the side, ditch the lamb for the crumpet only to discover that the crumpet, after 20 years, turns into an old cow and leaves you for your widowed mother! conversing sigh
