Ignoring, hopefully, any political statement which may or may not be meant by the creator…this is an amazing image…if you squint
I can see a face in the bottom right…Nixon ? is there something in the left.Perhaps my eyes are worse than I thought.
Is that the cricket pavilion going up? After themselves not playing for a few year, I hear they have now merged with HICE (Ex Ionians and Coal Exporters) for next season, after the rugby club forced HICE out. Yet another local cricket club bites the dust.
This story goes from bad to worse, it appears that that this sheep had been on this bit of land for two years, the canoeists had reported it to some animal protection group who did nothing citing H+S, danger to operatives and animal among a host of other excuses. Once it made national news a group of Farmer's who deal with this sort of thing daily just went and sorted it. They took the sheep to some sort of farm type zoo place where kids can go to see real animals up close, a sort of retirement home for animals. Now there are animal rights protesters outside the gates complaining. It's a mad world.
Spot on Sir, well done. https://www.theguardian.com/busines...land-banknote-fetches-24000-pounds-at-auction
Lucky it lived that long alone. If non-wild farmed sheep aren't sheared, the wool grows around their arseholes, gets clogged up with **** and bacteria and they usually die of some sort of infection. I've got 16 of the ****ers and they cost a fortune as my wife refused to let me sell them to the slaughterhouse when they were young enough to be worth money. Vets and shearing bills every year, plus extra grass if the winter is longer than usual. I'm not allowed to shoot them myself and they're annoyingly healthy, so another 6 years of paying for this until natural old age kicks in and the vet will euthanise. Problem is, I've got attached to them and the routine when I'm home is my yoga/meditation...
Clarksons Farm. It cost more to shear the sheep than the wool was worth. Quite a loss making venture for him all in all.
