    Oh bless them! :)

    I absolutely agree with the poster who mentioned how human-like a sheep cough is btw. It's as uncanny as how much a vixen sounds like a screaming woman.
    I can’t imagine how many times the police have been called due to a Fox screaming. It is terrifying when you hear it though!

    This has been the most amusing thread in this forum  B) 🐑🐑
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    I suddenly feel hungry
    I horrified a work colleague when we were driving to a business meeting and passed a field full of young lambs.  She made some comment about "don't you just love little lambs?!" and I replied "yes, roasted with mint sauce."

    PS Writing this at 1.30am as I can’t sleep for the noise they’re making.
    Have you tried counting them?


     I had a  poxy day at work and being a Monday just made it worse, got home from work, made a cuppa, sat down to check M.S.E., always here or pension section, when I started to read this thread, I thought, here we go again, up there with, bury dead dog in garden and a few others that I cannot think of right now, when I read your reply, it made me giggle, just my sort of humour, very funny. cheers, bad day got better.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    Their name is not Tom and Barbara Good is it?

    (I bet that has gone over the head of anyone less than about 50 years old)

    Ha, I used to watch that, Margo and Gerry,  next door, I think.

    My father was an urban boy, unfortunately his parents were from the countryside.
    Growing up he had what he thought was a pet pig (it even had a name) living on the family's allotment.
    Let's end the story there...
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
    Sleep well.

    Just logged in to say exactly the same thing! 
    I saw the thread this morning and had a quick read but had to go, so I've just caught up.  This thread has been absolutely brilliant, so thank you to all who contributed :D:D
    ETA: Sorry OP, I know they kept you awake!!
