time for shearing

[roscoe erf]

"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.

I belive there was more of Shreiks fleece that there was Shreik.

Wikipedia page is worth a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrek_(sheep). Meeting the Prime Minister, being shorn on an iceberg! Quite a life for a sheep.
(By the way, Is the lady with the big knockers in the picture the NZ prime minister?)

God no, Helen Clarke looked like a man but a lot less attractive.

Disappointed. That would have been another good reason to emigrate to NZ!

Well I would say she f**ked it up, typical Labour taxed the hard workers and wise investors and gave it to the stupid and the lazy.

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

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!!!"
