Cow Tipping

**Gaffer** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:41 AM

This is a true sport, right?

**Ianpbaker** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:44 AM

only if they give you clean cuttlery

**GlenW** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:47 AM

Yes it is, but it doesn't work very often. I've seen 2 tipped from loads of attemts.

**Gaffer** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:48 AM

Got it:

Tipping fat ones since 1996

It's a big west cundry thing apparently...

Ian, still with Crispin?

Are they asleep? I had a drink with a guy from Zomerzet one evening and he was a big fan...

I had you as Northerner.... popular up there?

I think the trick is to be very quiet, I've only done it after reasonable supping sessions, so we probably woke them up. But the 2 times it worked were so funny, you wouldn't believe the noise they make.

[churchilldog]Oooooh yes yes yes[/churchilldog]

Lovely. Relaxing in the Alps for a week (bastads couldn't give me more that 5 business days off for my annual break

).

You must we earning a bit of cash now mate - not exactly what you're thinking about at the moment I understand, but well done anyway

**Wally Pipp** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:55 AM

It doesn't take much to tip one over though. Silence is the key

**Ianpbaker** · Aug 28th, 2002, 04:56 AM

*bigsmile yeah, it's great feeling - I rememebr ringing student loans about 4 weeks after my first contract and ratehr smugly stating I could clear all 400 pounds in one shot. I'm sure the Jock at the end of the line muttered "ewwwwwwwwww"

Wally, do the Beneluxians have another word for "moo"? You know, like in Japanese, a dog doesn't go "woof woof", it goes "wan wan"....

**Jim Brown** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:07 AM

My brother-in-law* maintains that if you stick a short piece of hosepipe up a dog's jacksy it can't bark because it's got no compression.

* who, if not the biggest rogue, thief, liar etc that I've ever met, then I can't think who is. My wife (he's her brother) speaks highly of him too.

Ah, no, you'll be needing the "Bark Supression" Thread i think....

The sound or the verb ? The sound is pretty much the same "meuh", the verb is loeien (same word they use for a siren incidently)

The dog over here goes "waf waf"

Correct assumption with the northern bit, but fail to see why either a)cow tipping, b)drinking strong white cider, or c)both of the above should be the preserve of non-northeners.....

Used to go down to the beach in Fleetwood and break into a chalet for shelter whilst getting stoned and drinking 'Wild N White' (8.4%)

Sooo, you can say something like: Der Kow, es loeie, "meeeeeeuh"?

And is it Waf Waf as in "One more WAFer thin mint?"

Naw, this ain't a north-south thing, it's a "I never had the privelage to do stuff like drink Wet'n'wild and push cows over" thing. It just seemed something that west Cundry people would do as part of their rites of passage...

Wild n White? That sits next to "Asian Babes" on the top shelf doesn't it?

**Wally Pipp** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:18 AM

First would be errr... well, yeah sort of correct

Second is more of a short 'a' like the one in 'baffled'.

Yeah exactly - "One more wafer thin mint", a la Monty Python sketch....

I was in Belgium last week.... where do you live?

**Wally Pipp** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:25 AM

Southern suburb of Antwerp, town called Hoboken.

**GlenW** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:31 AM

I used to visit Schoten a lot.

**Wally Pipp** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:34 AM

Really ... Any particular reason for that ?

One city that is on my list - problem is Rotterdam is sooo close

**GlenW** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:36 AM

I used to buy from 2 companies there, 'Beyers Granen' and 'Natural', so I could make frequent trips to indulge in huge quantities of Trappist Triple.

**Wally Pipp** · Aug 28th, 2002, 05:37 AM

and sooo tempting too

Nope the shelf below --- the one that says 'Underage drinkers look here!' usually right next door to the bottles of Omega and Mad Dog 20/20.

Didn't think U meant N/S divide - was just confused....

We used to get bottles sent over in containers of bird seed, had to order 22 tonnes of seed just to get what I really wanted.

I'm impressed at your restraint, Wal. I'm sure not many others will even try to resist, though.
