On behalf of Elvis and myself you all need serious education about that horrible Australian habit of sheep shagging, indeed it is a common outback affliction, see kiwis live close to towns and cities so our habits tend towards other members of the human race.
Aussie outback folk; well improvisation is the name of their game. Who invented velcro gloves , nay it wasn't a kiwi it was an aussie!, it made a change from putting their preys head into wool fadges or chasing them into barbed wire fences. The term Jumbuck is Australian, it is shortened from Jump the Buck(Ram) a game still played in Aussie - Its also made famous by their national anthem Waltsing Matilda where they openly sing about their insightly habits - see it wasn't kiwis after all. Kiwis eats, roots, shoots and leaves.
Radar Very Happy

A note from a friend:

"I was going to complain about how hot it is... then I realized that at least: 1) it isn't 109 degrees; 2) I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3) I'm not dressed in a full camouflage uniform with helmet and carrying 70+ lbs.; and 4) there is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road today! Thanks to all who serve."

They still have summers in southern England but up here we seem to have missed them for the past 14 years, unless they only last a week.
Annual rainfall varies from 20" in the south to 140" about 20 miles inland from here.
There's a big variation from 40" here on the coast, to 60" nine miles inland where my parents live. Another five miles up the valley from them & it's 100" & just over the head of the valley is Seathwaite, wettest place in the UK. It holds the UK record for most rain in a day too - 12.4" in November 2009.
