No moos is good moos

I decided to cycle in this morning, 'cos it was LOVELY :D 8)

Cycling down the now infamous bridleway was just fantastic again - Sun shining through the trees, beautiful blue sky, FRESH air... me warm and comfy in the saddle - empty bridleway in front of me and cars a very distance murmur.


Ahhh..... bliss..... :wink:

I get to the first of the bridlegates which is the main cow crossing for the local farm and there's this cow waiting at the crossing, all on its tod just stood there chewing the cud.

Me in daft mood ('cos it was LOVELY) say "Morning Cow!"

Cow looked right at me... "MOO!" in a friendly sort of way

"How are you then cow?" says I

Cow looked at me again: "Moooo!"

"Nice day isn't it?" I say, as it was

"M ooooo, Mooooo!!" says the cow, clearly enjoying the morning sunshine.

I'm through the gates now and hop on the bike with a cheery "See You!"

"MooooMoooooMmmmmooooo!!!" comes from the Cow.

I swear the bovine beasty did not make one noise unless I spoke to it first :lol:

You bleeding City types just don't get this type of commute - I bet you're jealous :wink:

It was a spectacuarly good commute in today, only spoiled slightly by my lack of stamina due to Man Flu. (first day back after 3 off). Cars were friendly and gave me room, Schoolkids kept out the way, roads were pretty clear - even the Taxi driver *I* got in the way of let me through with a smile!!!

    It's nice when you get semi-warm weather like this. Treasue it because soon it'll be bloody Fresian.

    if I saw a huge obstruction like that on my way to work it'd have me cowering in the corner. Sorry that was dreadful, I think I'm really milking these cow jokes now!

    We should farm out the punning to other threads that need a steer on cow to have a laugh
