First line of this news story is probably the best opening line to a news story I've ever read.

Was it not asked to queue orderly outside while posh sheep were served at lunchtime?

Maybe it only happens in Morningside :wink:

I'd love to go into that store today and ask where the Irish butter is.

Even the farm animals over here favour violence and intimidation as a means of getting their own way.

That's brilliant. I've not read any further than the first line.

My imagination is running wild, in a good way.

The last line is a belter too:

The incident ended when a man, believed to be the goat's owner, arrived at the shop and dragged the goat off by the horns.

"The shop manager told BBC News NI the stray goat charged at one of his regular customers, named Billy."

Lots of good bits but that was my favourite line too. Still making me laugh now.

Tbf in NI there was probably a pretty high chance that could happen.

I'm reporting this thread to the SPCA.

A blatant case of trolling. :wink:

This is a old one from a few years ago but the headline still gets me everytime.
