    SleepleSS - I have read the Guide, but I was referring to Mickey Mouse (being a cartoon and all).

    BTW, why do you, on every single post, put that unsure smilie? Kinda weird if ya ask me.

    Ah, the home of weed lies in Amsterdam...

    Still it's not far from Breda, or is it, Sleepless?

    Been smoking...again?

    Anywayzz, in Belgium we kinda have the same noises. Only the cow sais 'Meuh' if you listen, although we do say 'Boe'.

    The sheep arguebly say 'Meeeeehhhhh'.
