I'm thinking of sending him a pair of my prize spoons as a welcome back present. I have a nice pair of Channel Island fiddle backs he might like.

 

Any other ideas?

 

How about a gift from us all payed for through a paypal collection?

One of these? (can you guess the breed?)

He can graze it at Staplewood...

Don't you realise the contempt that the two sets of islanders have for each other?:o

 

Buying him the wrong cow could be the greatest insult imaginable.

 

How about this one?

We should name her.

 

I think she looks like a Daisy.

This thread has potential. Apart from cows Guernsey is also famous for being the last Royalist stronghold to capitulate, in 1651.

 

Really..? So Cromwell left them until last to rub their noses in the cow dung. You learn something new every day.

 

There's also a bit of sailing fact/trivia pertaining to the channel islands, which at this moment escapes me.

 

Is it worth me mentioning that the German army occupied them as the only bit of British territory during WWII, or is that too much like common knowledge nowadays..?

fair point, but I could only find a Jersey cow picture. How about this instead:

edit: not for a minute saying that we should buy him a guy model. Nor half a red-rusty cog....

Hows about a statue? He sure deserves it and why wait til he's dead!

 

we have to wait until he is dead. Can you imagine Ted's embarassment at the unveiling the first time round?!! Apart from nice smooth takeovers, we also don't so statues very well either...!
