To lighten the thoughts a bit -- from NRO A leading agricultural show ended in disarray when a young woman performed an impromptu striptease among the cattle lines.
As security officers at the Royal Welsh Show rushed to the scene and tried to restrain her, she was hosed down with water normally used to wash the cattle, preventing them from getting a grip on her. The stripper ended her table-top performance by throwing her thong into the crowd, which was returned on the end of a pitchfork.
The incident happened at a party on Tuesday night held amid cattle lines belonging to breeders from the Welsh Black Cattle Society.
The 102-year-old society, whose patron is the Prince of Wales, said it was outraged at hearing of the "unsavoury" event, and was investigating the claims.
