Why! Why! Why!

(IGMC)

Oi, that's my joke from ages ago.

Here's one of the miniature goats twenty yards away. They have no lanoline in their wool so they are not waterproof. Their owners have to put them under cover when it rains.

They are quite tame and will allow you to stroke their beards. View attachment 374443

Try scratching them on the top of their heads, they'll go daft.

 

[Hill Wimp]

You'll be telling me next they even have them up north

They do, Nottingham.

We purchased some very nice comestibles from there on a recent trip.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Nottingham?

Bugger

Bugger

TMN to me I think, dearest....

Morning. There was a pretty dawn this morning.

Another noisy jet was about this morning, this time I managed to get a glimpse of it . It was high up heading Southwest, a slim body with long thin wings and on reheat. The only plane that I can think of is a U2.

You missed the joke. It's not unusual.....

I got the joke, I just really didn't want to encourage you into making more similar cracks

 

[TVC]

Nottingham?

They do, Nottingham.

The Leicester one. Nottingham is the original, they have been going for over 10 years, the Leicester one has been up for about 18 months. I found out last night that the owner sits on the judging panel of the World Cheese Awards in San Sebastian, so they certainly know their stuff.

You picking up the heavy bread?

Nah, just loafing around.

I'm particular who I allow to stroke my beard.

We have cheese

But perhaps not for long:

Brexit could mean bad things for cheese. No, really: it has been reported that a cheese crisis may be looming, with the cost of import on French comté, Italian burrata and Spanish manchego already starting to climb. It’s even been suggested that most British of British cheeses, cheddar, could be at risk, as Irish cheesemakers provide 82 percent (78,000 tonnes) of cheddar imported to the UK. With our exit from the EU slowly becoming a reality, Irish cheesemakers could switch production from cheddar to cheeses such as mozzarella, in an effort to appeal to a European market. Which leads us to a dreaded question: could London run out of cheddar?! We don’t know, but we are bulk-buying extra mature just to be safe.

Morning...

 

[raleighnut]

Morning...

Only just.

 

[summerdays]

Only just.

Well I have been out for a short ride first..... but I've been doing a bit of catch-up reading.... everyone writes too much

Have I missed much?
