When I saw it I just couldn't believe my eyes. I mean if you don't know what a sheep looks like it is time to go back to nursery ::) ::) ::) Bloomin' Brussels once again trying to make Europeans look stupid and ending up proving they're dumb as dumb can be ::)
What is next a banana law? Hang on a sec we have one of those don't we? ;D ;D ;D
