I love this sort of stuff.
| Quote: | A goat has been given a lavish send-off, after seven years of dedicated service with the Royal Welsh Regiment.
...
Much-loved Billy is well cared for by a full-time Goat Major, who is in charge of his wellbeing. |
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/n...ves-the-Royal-Welsh-Regiment.html
| Quote: |
The nine-year-old was led into his trailer by the battalion's Goat Major in full ceremonial dress, in preparation for a journey to the zoo.
The route from his pen to the trailer was lined by soldiers from the regiment to say farewell and thank you to Billy for his many years of good service.
Billy was not a mascot but a ranking member of the regiment.
His main role was marching at the front of the battalion on all ceremonial duties.
He spent two-and-a-half years overseas in Cyprus when the battalion was posted over there and has lived in Chester since their return.
During his time in Cyprus, he was even disciplined and temporarily demoted from his rank of Lance Corporal to Fusilier for not marching in time during a parade for the Queen's birthday.

I'll start the chest compression on this thread and you do the mouth to mouth.
It may however be way too late. |

Awe, how sad.

Whatever you're doing, set aside 6 minutes of your life to look at these two videos.
They are bloody hilarious.
It's the cheese-rolling races in Gloucestershire. Big cheese is rolled down a ridiculously steep hill, mad Englishmen follow. Doesn't sound like much, but I was doubled over with laughter.
2009 edition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyQBSMeIhM
2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzEF0D2xfE
The 2008 edition was held in wet weather, so the spectacle is a little different. You might prefer it. |

Interesting but they are way off base in the fact that humans don't control the universe.
We have an adverse effect on everything when it is politically advanageous to say so.
It is a shame we won't be here to note the 2013 occurance since we will surely expire in 2012 during the great alingment.  |

Someone recently directed me to 'Texts from last night' site.
I learnt something disturbing about reality there. I'm not sure what it is, but it's disturbing. |
