Apparently this doesn’t happen though. Sheep don’t fluff up due to extreme moisture content.

Is it an oil-in-the-wool thing, or is there some ingenious sheep technology at work here?

Didn’t you know the Welsh Assembly employs celebrity hairdressers, paid for of course by Westminster 😆 😉

Poof?

Sheeps is robots, as any fule kno.

I’m sure a Welshman or an Aberdonian will step up to answer this one shortly

tis why the price of meat has shot up, years ago they used to poof and meat was cheap. trust me.

Homophobia and xenophobia in a single thread, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Lol@poof

Wool is quite oily when it’s on a sheep. Lanolin, innit.

However if they do get totally saturated (like when you pull them out of a peat bog) they get really really soggy and heavy.

EEK!

‘Poof!’ to denote sudden springing up of wool in 70s disco style, through the cunning use of onomatopoeia.

No offence intended. 🙁

Some do….

Don is just winding you up

i think the offence was intended, you could have used the words: ‘fluffy’ ‘volumey’ and ‘dampyboingboing’ but instead you tried to suggest that sheep turn homosexual when it rains.

dont we all?!

Why didn’t I think up ‘dampyboingboing’? 😀

Actually not, I got a warning because someone got confused thinking puff was the same as poof. Who’d have thunk a piece of furniture could be gay?

Then let’s be clear. This is about sheep taking on water in hardcore rain conditions – and NOTHING ELSE.

Same with merino base layers, just don’t dampyboingboing up the way Grandma’s old knitted woollen jumpers used to. Things just aren’t the same these days…

Pass the eye bleach….

My mental image of Binners did not include a moustache. 😀

mine did

and a generous helping of moustache wax

…so it won’t dampyboingboing in the rain, I presume?

That was a photoshoot that formed part of the Japanese marketing campaign for my No1 extra special moustache wax.

I’m very big in Japan

Off to the dales for the weekend,will carry out an indepth investigation, not allowed to take my bike due too romantic 10th wedding anniversary thing. Ah well our lass likes sheep ,she will love it.

Big in Japan = Binners & pedophiles

Sexy time

Much appreciated, sparkyrhino. We’ll need exact sheep body diameter measurements pre and post monsoon, comparative weights and general dampyboingboing-ness demographics.

Hope the rain doesn’t ruin your weekend.
