"Shrek," New Zealand's most famous sheep, died in June at the age of 16. This merino wether (a castrated male sheep) came to the world's attention in 2004 when he was found in a cave near the city of Otago after being on the lam for six years. He had managed to avoid capture all that time and when he was finally found, he was carrying nearly 60 lbs of untrimmed fleece, nearly six times more than the average merino fleece.

As the joke goes up here, "There has been one reported case of Mad Cow Disease in New Zealand, alledgedly originating in Te Pahu"!!! As soon as she lost her last election....went to the local Vet clinic with a bucket of ice and a couple of bottles on Veure Clicquot :LOL: :LOL::LOL:

Roscoe, Otago is a region rather than a city, Shrek was from Bendigo Station , Tarras ,Central Otago.

Also as I have said for many years, "The only Clarke worthy of being in parliament IS John Clarke!!!"(y)
