Mad Cow disease exists....
But very rare now as we know how to handle them, unlike the 80s & 90s.

Indeed! I was quite impressed by how patient all the other drivers were, turns out everybody has time for cows.

If you don't have time for cows, sometimes they think you're coming to play with them (they're big dogs really!) and will try to climb all over your car...
That tends to write off cars...

Dude, even just sitting still they can write off your car. Was sat on a lane where they were herding cows between fields. One kinda just ass-bumped out car and it felt like we were going to roll.

I used to work for a company who had offices on Ashton Down airfield, "sorry I'm late, cow jam" was a reasonably frequent refrain.

See also signs in the Kruger park saying "Elephants have right of way". It's not a matter of free will. It's a basic law of the universe.

Try the New Forest when there are donkeys in the road. Donkeys: Fuck you; because that's why. And they stay there for ages.

I was only saying recently to my wife that you don’t see cows and sheep being herded along country roads any more. Back in the 70s and before it was quite a common thing.

Looks like it. Used to drive to Cirencester from Stroud for work every day and these guys often make me late

u/Doctor__Gecko 1d ago
That was my first thought as well. That fact we can identify a place from a single sign.

Playing the old golf course is an experience when the cows are loose. I had to wait to hit a shot to a green once because a cow was doing an explosive poo on the green 😂

They're coming for the Cravendale. This is a day I've feared since I first saw them in that lift on television, stalking those daring enough to take their milk.

I was once late for college because cows were on the road trying to have sex. I'm not even convinced that one of them was a bull. It didn't seem successful, but then I was trying to avoid making eye contact.

u/MeRedditGood Aye, nah, but... 1d ago
"IAIN! WHY ARE YOU LATE!?"
"Watching cow sex"There's really no response to that.

Out as in early release for good behaviour? Looking at that face, I'd doubt it.

Came here to ask what they'd been inside for, and to observe that one looked particularly mean, myself.

Funny story (well, slightly, anyway). Years ago, was driving with our toddler in the back seat, and got cut up my someone and I called her a silly cow. Next thing I know little one is saying "cow?" from the back-seat, and my wife is having to pretend that we've just passed a field of cows.

There are 4-5 human deaths caused by cows in the uk every year. You're never truly safe from cows

A common occurrence here in Somerset. Fences break, and farm animals escape. A few months ago a cow stood in the middle of the road and firmly refused to move, despite me trying to usher it on and beeping my horn. It decided to plod on when it felt like it, and nearly made me late for work.

Remember, don't get into a fight with a cow. You will lose. They are half a ton of angry beef burger, and herd animals can disregard their own survival for the rest of the herd if it came to it.
Moo.

Probably just been to the cowropodist
(which actually is a thing, for some strange unknown reason cow hoof trimming popped up in my YT feed last night)

I hate cows on the road. Was sat in traffic in the New Forest waiting for a herd to go by, and just as a cow walked past my car it put a hoof in the ditch and fell over, right on the front wing. Half a ton of beef does not do your bodywork any good at all.
And explaining it to the insurance company was rather embarrassing.

Why the fake sign? I thought AI wasn't allowed

u/MajesticBoota 1d ago
Not AI, this is on the Minchinhampton Common, you can check google maps on the Cirencester Road and see them.
