But wait, Welsh ladies in Pembroke come from a very sheltered background. For a start, the young men out there are more interested in the woolly girls...

Funny you should mention wool... you couldn't make this stuff up

A Japanese actress inadvertantly blew the lid off a scam which had duped thousands of women into buying coiffured sheep in the belief they were poodles, the Evening Standard reports.

Maiko Kawakami appeared on a TV talk show with snaps of her pet, and admitted she wondered why it "didn't bark and refused to eat dog food". She was soon set straight - her dog was in fact a sheep.

The revelation provoked a stream of women to contact the cops with "similar problems". The powers that be reckon that as many as 2,000 have fallen victim to the audacious ovine poodle con, perpetrated by internet company "Poodles as Pets", which offered the animals at £630 a pop.

A police spokesman told The Sun: "We launched an investigation after we were made aware that a company was selling sheep as poodles. Sadly, we think there is more than one company operating in this way. The sheep are believed to have been imported from overseas - Britain and Australia."

In case you're wondering how on God's Green Earth you could mistake a sheep for a dog, the Standard explains that poodles are "extremely rare in Japan, with many people having little idea what they look like". No, we're not convinced either.

Oh my, do you really think it's Maddog? I do miss him.

And where's pF?

pF was a class act. I last saw him on tulipe99.

The last time I saw anything from Steve was on TRL.

Oh, do you remember BrianC? Nutter. Turns up all over the place. Moves are afoot to get him expelled (again) from the old folks home, but I am not at liberty to say why.

Now, what about MsAngry - do you remember her?

No but the piles applicator was a tight fit

I loved the comment from Steve...

Wait a minute - that sounds just like the treatment I got from my football coach when I pulled my hamstring. He said the special cream had to be applied internally and that the only way to apply it was to take a hit for the team. **** it, I knew that leg wasn't getting any better
