    You have a lot of cows as all they want to do is have babies and go to fiestas.
    Their milk tastes strangely of Tuba.

    Well PatO I wish I had one cow even! Then I could ride it to the bottle shop and get some beer! Stinking hot today, fierce easterly wind from the desert, mid-thirties, and been staking my goji's and spreading a cubic metre of mulch in the front yard while the sun is feeding me skin cancers. Perfect beer drinking weather but my Jeep is in the shop cause I pranged it. Me missus just rang up and she's been 'asked' to do a double-shift at the hospital....won't be seeing her car till long after the bottle shop closes. Looks like I'll have to walk....it's only a couple k's there....but it's worth it...

    Mate, you have my sympathy, no beer available at 7:30am must be a real b*tch. What do you drink, Cascade Premium? Hope the force march to the bottle shop was a success.

    LOL...might be 7:30 in Capetown...but we're on the very same time zone down here as you. Cascade is a very good guess, all those Tassie beers are great. That would be my personal favourite and I get some often. Today though I got Emu Export in cans....an old West Australian brew. Currently getting rehydrated...I feel better now....

    When I was at the northern tip of Australia the only beer to be had was VB ... Victoria bitter. As I remember it was ok on a hot day. But no cows around. That's why I voted for the Australian plan. Cows or not there's always time for a barbie and stubby.:cool:

    Almost forgot the tailgate stories.:D

    Think you got the Kiwi corporation wrong, if they'd been sheep almost certainly, both would've been attractive.....they leave the cows to the Ozzies.
