Ark building
 

Thinking of starting to build an ark if this rain doesnt stop anybody want to help, we also need cheap timber so any timber merchants take note. Not bothered about the animals though, most of em stink and take to much looking after a bit like kids so their banned as well, any ideas for the ark will be given due consideration.:D:D

Re: Ark building
 

In that case all you need is the garden shed & a few empty oil drums, no need to build an ark, tha's nowt to go in it.
Retlaw.

Re: Ark building
 

You havent seen my shed , the clue is in the name:D:D

Re: Ark building
 

Be careful which timber merchant you use, make sure they have good customer service :)

Re: Ark building
 

Can send a cow if you like -milk is useful to have and cows are lovely and warm if you hug them. (I know from experience - don't ask!):D

Re: Ark building
 

I know used to have 80 milkers and 40 beef cattle used to up at 5.30 every morn for milking on me uncles farm, but the do stink and make a lot of poo to:D

Re: Ark building
 

My cows do not stink and are very well behaved - they are some of Europe's most beautiful specimens:)

I can offer my services as dairy-maid if you'll let me be saved from the floods and come on your ark:D

Re: Ark building
 

Sadly you can't come on mine.

Two by two.

Well unless you have a twin.

Or come up with some clever trick, with mirrors.

:D

They've all been at it like, er...rabbits, for seven years.

Re: Ark building
 

How many have you dianne and what sort, ours were holsteins for milk and Limousins for beef the were gorgeous, i must admit even if they where french.:D
the limis i mean the holsteins were more handsome than gorgeous.

Re: Ark building
 

Well, as far as I can see there were no cows on Rindy's ark -will stick with Dave, if he'll have me, especially if overcrowding is a problem, what with all those rabbits...

I would make an excellent "first mate" on board;):D -will turn my hand to anything in order to be saved - my survival instinct knows no limits.:eek:

Re: Ark building
 

We milk 400 holsteins, Dave. Will bring one of our best producers - you can do a lot with 60 litres of milk a day,I do know how to make yoghurt and cheese - we certainly wouldn't starve on your ark:D

Re: Ark building
 

Wow 400 black and white beasties cant match that most we ever had was 150 and that was enough for a schoolboy (me at the time ) and me uncle after we came out of milk we did have about the same of beefers which took enough looking after. And course you and your cow can come on my ark i love yoghurt:)

Re: Ark building
 

Altogether there are more than 1000 animals - with milking 400 at any one time. There are 2 men milking and it takes just 3 hrs to milk them all (state of the art 20x20 parlour -first of it's kind in Italy), here they milk them at 2-30am and pm - very early start.
-
Don't expect me up so soon on the ark though;):D

Re: Ark building
 

Yeh hugged a few meself way back.:D:D:D

Re: Ark building
 

May i suggest you draw up a plan of who exactly is to be allowed on board -if Rindy's ark is already full you may find you and your shed become very popular and you'll have to control a stampede of would-be survivors.

Agree fully -no kids on board, some useful animals and a crew are necessary - have to think about re-populating the world once the waters subside don't forget...:D

2 by 2 could turn out to be useful in the calculations.

Re: Ark building
 

Have a word with seaman Staines.


See if he can slip you in.

Re: Ark building
 

Just as long as he's "able";) and can sing me a shanty:D


"Oh, as I strolled out one evening, out for a night's career,
I met a lofty clipper ship an' arter her I steered.
I hoisted her me sig-a-nals, which she so quickly knew,
An' when she seed me bunting fly, she immediately hove to-o-o,

Oh, she'd a dark an' rollin' eye,
An' her hair hung down in ring-a-lets,
She wuz a nice gal, a decent gal,
But one of the rakish kind!

Kind sir, ye must excuse me, for being out so late,
For if me parents knew o' it, then sad would be me fate,
Me father he's a minister, a true and honest man,
Me mother she's a Methodist, an' I do the best I can.

I eyed that wench full warily, for talk like this I knew,
She seemed a little owerbold, she lied for all I knew,
But still she wuz a comely wench, her lips a ruby red,
Her bosom full, her hips so slim, she coyly hung her head.

I took her to a tavern an' treated her to wine,
Little did I think that she belonged to the rakish kind.
I handled her, I dangled her, an' found to my surprise,
She wuz nothin' but a fire ship, rigged up in a disguise."

Re: Ark building
 

I am sure I heard Guy Mitchell sing something like that shanty

Re: Ark building
 

It's called "The Fireship", have never heard it sung myself -seemed apt for the cheeky comment about (Able-)Seaman Staines!:rolleyes:

(Your sort of joke that play on words no doubt!;))

Re: Ark building
 

Re: Ark building
 

It's called the roving kind by Guy Mitchell wih Mitch Millers Orchestra on his Greatest hits
knew I had heard it before it's in my music library.

Re: Ark building
 

Thanks for the link to the song Sue - the lyrics I found missed out the last 2 verses -just as well:o:eek:
