Cyril Has His Say…
Ever since Cyril got his say on this website, the cows have been kicking off big time. So to keep them on side, I offered Mrs Cow, head of the cow crew to give an interview….
PDD: So, Mrs Cow, how long have you been kicking aound at Tideswell then?
Mrs Cow: Well, I’ve actually been here for 3 years, mooing, chewing the cud and being a cow. It’s a great life usually and me and my gang love it here but then that pheasant came and stole away my lime light, it’s just really unfair. I know you all worship Cyril the Pheasant. I know you think that he is all cute and you think I’m creepy. I’ve heard you lot saying I have crazy beady eyes. How mean! I just want to be your friend but ya know, if I’m not good enough, it’s fine…
PDD: Now don’t think like that Mrs Cow! I’m sure you’re good enough to be our friend and you’re kind of cute, in a cow like way. What do you think you can bring to the people of Derbyshire that Cyril can’t?
MC: Well, let me tell you something about me. I am a cow and proud. Cows produce milk and burgers and steaks. I’m not suggesting you eat me or any of my close family but suck on that Cyril the Pheasant! You got no steak. Therefore I am infinitely better than you.
PDD: This is very true, a steak is a steak after all. What do you say to recent comments about you being beady eyed?
MC: Well, that’s just mean, horrible even. I was actually born with beadyeyeitis. It’s a terrible disease that is genetic. The vet could do nothing for me as a youngster, my Mam was devastated. It doesn’t make me inferior! Not in the least. If you had gotten close enough to Cyril you’d have noticed that he has a rather bad case of athletes foot. That’s totally worse than beadyeyeitis.
PDD: So, tell me what happened the other day?! Some Cows were definitely over excited…
Yeah that was me and the crew and there are others planned! You need to show us some more love or the cows will bring it and maybe withhold milk in protest. It was fun though. We escaped from Mr Farmers field in a plot good enough to rival Animal Farm without the human hating bit, obviously. We just want to be appreciated. Moo!
DL: Indeed. So in a perfect world, what would you like the outcome to be of this interview?
MC: Well, I would like notoriety and fame of course, I already have a publicist so I’m half way there. Failing this (I’m a wise old cow after all) just a little bit of love and appreciation now and again. Maybe a nice hello or a pat on the nose. A handful of grass would be nice. That’s all I ask for!
Many Thanks go to DIGS for the interview.
