Alas poor.....

Sad news this morning for all readers of the Goat Design Forum, the goat, known as Rose to close friends, has died.
Rose became a web phenomenon when it was reported that she had been "married" to Sudanese man Charles Tombe. The wedding was enforced by elders after a drunken Tombe was found taking advantage of the poor animal. He was also made to pay a dowry to Rose's original owner. The elders hoped to shame Tombe, though did not spare Rose's feelings in doing so.
I believe a sacred 'mass' is planned at a Masonic Temple near you....

Genuine sheeps wool as opposed to nylon is favoured by our New Zealand cousins...has a more 'homely' touch....
