I saw this story earlier on Facebook. Could't help but chuckle at it. Poor guys, I wonder what sort of "wild animals" they thought were stalking them?  ::) ;D

Poor fellas, they must have thought they were for the chop !

While out on a short walk last week one of my friends was convinced we were being stalked by a cobra, despite the fact she hadn't seen anything, and we're a tad short of cobras here in south Wales she was convined we were all seconds away from death.  And yes, she is the nervous type....

I laughed at the bit where it said they "probably didn't realise that there weren't street lights everywhere."

Dammit. Thought I'd found a great story to post, and turns out I was beaten to it!

Perhaps we are being too dismissive. Sheep may be turning nasty.


 One made a grab for my cheese sandwiches on top of Kinder Scout a few years ago.  I had to give it a shove with my boot to make it move away.   It took a real push too, its grip on the ground was remarkable.


..... and I bet it wasn't the first time, for what on earth was this supposedly grass-eating brute doing lurking on a completely vegetation free patch of peat and rock?   Plotting to attack walkers and steal food, I'm sure.

I have to agree, remember the sheep in Wallace and gromit...  Riding a motorcycle / organising a prison break etc

... That was based on a true story wasn't it!? ;) :D

"..... sheep breath  stinks......"


You surely wouldn't have fancied the one that tried to steal my sandwiches then.  As i recall it had it's own little personal cloud of flies
