:shock: Imagine how much damage that could do to the rosebeds if it buries its pooh after it's been! Nice looking beast though, and I'd never have to pay the milkman again.. :thumbs:

Silly bugger! :lol:

Well I'm no yak specialist but I'd expect yak's milk to come from a yak. Baby yak can drink the stuff so why not fully grown human beings? If I start mooing and farting then I can always change back to soya.

And I still want a pukka, grp mini with either no engine & 'box or the automatic variety of both already in place. Working condition not essential, it's an A series so it'll cost 12p to fix if I should end up with a broken one.

Aron, I just came into what you were talking about regarding the "right type" of yak milk. :shock: :lol: Take a cold shower please!

from wkipedia
The English word "yak" derives from the Tibetan (Tibetan: གཡག་, Wylie: g.yag), or gyag – in Tibetan this refers only to the male of the species, the female being called a dri or nak. In English, as in most other languages which have borrowed the word, "yak" is usually used for both sexes.
Of course you can drink both types as in their culture but only the females would be suitable in a cup of tea!

It's not plastic but I would rather have this:

It's in the related items of the Marcos auction, definitely worth saving.
