nah, I’m sure it’s along the lines of Fiddling cats and jumping cows :wink:

edit:
yep just checked it out - latest Bill passed through Parliament is to stop bogus Cheese production by unscrupulous dairy farmers.
Seems that some farmers have been supplying their cats with volins, which are then played (badly) throughout the night, which causes the cows milk to curdle. At the sight of a bright moon the cows then start leaping around, which turns the curdled milk into cheese.
The latest act forces all regional councils to ensure the moon is blacked out on certain nights of the year.
An amendment to the act also forbids the storage of dishes and spoons in the same kitchen cupboard.

Yep, get outside.

Almost total now, just a rusty coloured sillouhette
