    I'm afraid the campaign to restore Welsh rainforests is doomed to failure.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        A tiny island did rule over big chunks of big continents, and over all of one continent.

          That reminds me.

          Aussie also provides future queens for places such as Denmark.

              Sorry. I will try to get comparisons right in future. I will try again.

              There are 8 million sheep in Wales and 100 million in Australia. (approximate)
              There are 3 million people in Wales and 21 million in Australia. (approximate)

              That makes it about 3 sheep per person in Wales and about 5 per person in Australia.

              Did I get my facts and computations correct?

                  Good pick up.
                  I am trying to make Moby envious.

                  If only I could figure out how to post pictures. I would post a picture of a fine Aussie Merino sheep.


                  Can some clever person post such a picture please? :desire:

                    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                          New South Wales. Better than Old South Wales.
