At least he made the yaks run on time, though, eh? I've been meaning to seek clarification on that point: should it be "yak's milk", "yaks' milk" or "yaks milk"?

There's a small town in the heart of dairy farming country in NZ called "Bulls". So, NZ is the only country where you can get milk from Bulls. I believe Bulls is twinned with Cowes.

[...] I believe Bulls is twinned with Cowes. No bull! ;D ;D Ian: Welcome. Are you, by any chance, a former poster to the APS forum? We had an Aotearoan poster there some time ago, but lost track of him.

Damn. I hate it when Verbivore does that. (And I can't resist -- I had to look it up.)

Ah yes, Maori - seemingly the opposite language to Polish. The Polish were evidently at the back of the queue when vowels were being handed out; the Maoris were right up at the front (if memory serves, all Maori words end in a vowel).
