Actually I can laugh about something even if it was not funny at the time.
Some years ago my ex-bosses son hit a deer on the A3 whilst travelling at
considerable speed. (For those of you who do not know the A3, part of it is
an approach road to London and has a fast stretch of 2 and 3 lane
carriageway, drilling through some woodland and fields). Anyway, the deer
was totally wasted and the car, written off.

The unfortunate vehicle happened to be a Triumph Stag.....I kid you not.

The AirWarrior and Warbirds communities have been, uh... (how shall I
put this...) >enjoying< sheep for many many years.
There are some really funny fiction written about it.

Has anybody tested and can give a review of "the Love Ewe" by the way?
