@divegeester saidDiamonds are a girl's best friend. Or so I'm told.
Dogs, man’s best friend.
Women’s too possibly although I have no data on that.

Inside of a dog ... it's too dark to read.

@david-burton saidI’ve a farmer acquaintance who’s given up breeding sheep to sell as Welsh lamb. He now makes more money buying old ewes to sell to Halal butchers, earning more money than he ever could selling lamb to one of our most popular British supermarkets.
I am partial to a goat curry
Let’s hear it for our farmers. Get Fair About Faming!

@drewnogal saidFarmers are always complaining and always getting money from the government. True that their life isn't an easy one and without them we wouldn't have any food. I think for a long time milk farmers were treated the worst, it wasn't that long ago that 2 liters of milk cost 90p at the supermarket, I think farmers were getting around 8/9p a liter. Crazy considering the costs and work involved.

Imaginary pets, in general. That way you can imagine taking care of them, like feeding and cleaning up what's not digested. One can imagine taking the pet for a walk, if it's an imaginary dog. All sort of imaginary activities can be imagined, depending what we imagine the pet to be.
However one has to be careful with imagination, because imaginary pets can grow on you imaginatively, and can become a permanent personal delusion. And you will also get paranoid just imagining being afraid of losing it.

@pettytalk saidI've been looking at robot dogs. They haven't solved the aesthetics yet.

@a-unique-nickname saidThe milk quotas were a joke; excess milk was literally poured down the drain.
