[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 82148, member: 1991"] Sorry folks, I had to pass on the pizza. A total fire ban comes into force in just over an hour plus my next door neighbour gets paranoid if he smells smoke at this time of the year. Blb, I had to laugh at your description of the torture machine - it reminds me of a rather tetchy Hereford heifer we had when I was a kid; the time came to move our half-grown heifers out to the country paddock and my father INSISTED he would take the Hereford while my two husky brothers together walked one docile Friesian. The Hereford always was a stroppy beggar - she took off round the yard with my father trailing on the end of the rope. Up and down the embankment, round and round the Hills hoist, and no way did my brothers dare laugh. They finally got the beast cornered and loaded onto the trailer in total silence and my dad drove off with the younger brother while the older one took me and mum in his car. As soon as my brother's car turned the corner, my brother started to laugh and he didn't stop for well over half an hour. That heifer gave us a lot more trouble (almost always at the other end of the rope) until we finally managed to sell her. My father never bought another Hereford. Marg [/QUOTE]
