I've had an idea - it involved milk and a goat/cow

Well, I was eating my weatabix the other day and then it hit me, do you reckon it would be good if like when you go into town in the morning that you could go in a big shop like a supermarket before you go work, and you could have your cereal there, but you could get the milk from a goat, like you could actually walk in the shop and get the milk yourself, and you could milk a goat or a cow, because that way you'd know where the milk came from, it would be warm, and you'd feel like you were part of nature.

Also they say being around animals reduces stress and chances of a heart attack and other things.

So I just thought this would be a good idea? like imagine you get into town center in the morning, like for example, I live in leeds, which is pretty big city, and you go in town and theres thousands of shops and millions of people and its pretty cool and we could all have breakfast together in the morning and talk.

In america aswell I seen on american films they ride bulls? Have you seen it? like with cowboy hats on and all wearing jeans, they win money, not sure how much? But there could be a whole industry out of this?

We could ride cows and go mentle?

Tbh, massive LOLs at the idea firstly. Best thread in a good while.

Being somewher of a country person, animals can be very unpractical in the counry, letalone in a city, so...

With these animals, that need a lot of water, food and produce a lot of waste where would you get/put/dispose of it? And where would you keep them where they can happily feed and keep happy during the day when they're not being used (they like very large fields to get the best milk).

Unpastured cow milk can sometimes be bad, especially in an unhyginic enviroment.

And tbh, I don't have time to milk a cow in the morning.

However, after scrapping the idea of milking the cow/smelly goat yourself, having a large breakfast bar - something like you get in a nice hotel or B&B? - is quite a nice idea.

lol, thanks, glad to see people taking my sense of humor the right way, hehe.

But seriously, this could work? We could all be millionaires, just think we could pick up the cow manure aswell and take it home and use it in the garden and grow potatoes and carrots and then we'd be totally organic!

I dont know why but I like the smell of cow manure, whenever I'd gone in the countryside and you smell it, it smells like fresh air to me, lol. Saying that I also like the smell of petrol, whenever I've been in a petrol station and you smell it, it smells good, but I try not to smell it for too long incase it hurts my brain or something, but a couple of seconds prob doesnt hurt.

The thing is though, I could take milk from a cow or a goat, infact I even remember doing this one time when I was a younger and on a school trip to a farm, and I just remember it being warm, but I guess when its just come out of a goats belly it's gona be warm isnt it.

But the thing is, they say coz we're in a ression we should all breed pigs and own chickens in our gardens but that would attract rats wouldnt it? But I dont think I could take an egg from a chicken, it would be like taking its babies away, I couldnt look it in the eye. :D
 
Excellent. I reckon plant some magic mushrooms as well so you can pick them yourself and have them on your Weetabix.

But you already have.


Realistically for it to be "good" you would need a massive field, I can't imagine people wanting to milk "battery cows". Not enough land in the town centre.

I prefer my milk pasteurised tbh :o


Plus if the cow had that disease (i forget which) I personally couldn't tell if it was pus not milk I'd just squirted over my cereal till too late >.<

With that comes urine, and urine doesn't smell nice in an isolated place, i.e a big room.

And goats don't smell nice.

And cows maunure will smell horrible in a warm, isolated room.

This was exactly how I felt. But since taking on the suggestion of home grown food and animals, I had to remove the eyes of Barry the chicken. You see, Barry had these big eyes that could penetrate you through lead.

Now not being a doctor/surgeon and sadly without having access to the internet (I'm sure there'll be a website out there on the procedure of removing a chickens eyes) I decided to just employ and adapt a method that my father used to use when removing wobbly teeth.

Using a hook, a 2 metre long rope and a door handle I attached this to the door handle and to Barry's eyes.

I then waited 8 hours for my mother to return from work and on opening the door, she ripped them out due to the the wonders of physics!. The benefit of this method is that A) I don't feel like I was the one that ripped barry's eyes out nad B)I can now steal the eggs and get a perfect nights sleep.

I agree with your suggestions SkS and I feel that we should speak to our PM's and get this thing made into public legislation.
Having breakfast in bed should be illegal, and everyone should have to nip into Asda and have it there.
