Black Sheep Blog

All this week we have been running a feature that highlights the pros and cons of finding date in the countryside.

Mr Food Chain Andrew Watts volunteered (reluctantly) to be our eligible bachelor, as we went to a point-to-point and found three lovely ladies for him to go on a date with.

It's been a long and emotional journey but Mr Food Chain has chosen and now it is time to see how his final date goes.

Will they get on?Will love blossom?Watch to find out

From guest blogger (and internationally renowned writer and work experience attendee) Miss Alice Serras

Gingerbread 'people', midday supervisors (as opposed to dinner ladies), lollipop 'person' - just when you thought political correctness could go no further, common sense has finally been pushed over the edge.

The RSPB has banned the use of the work 'cock' to describe male birds on its online forums and appears to be phasing out its use throughout its website. Any user who attempts to use the offending word will find it censored.

The RSPB claims it has put this into practice as a lot of children visit the website and it wishes to avoid embarrassment. Surely the bigger concern should be why children would realise this could be an embarrassing word in the first place?!? However fans of blue tits need not worry, there are no plans to rename them...yet.

It was so successful yesterday, that Alice has continued her blogging today:

It's not been unusual (pun intended) to hear strains of Tom Jones' 'You Can Leave Your Hat On' in the office all morning. Thankfully it's not his 'Best Of' album but a video of six hunky farmers getting their kit off.

Don't judge us though, it's not what you think! It's all in the name of charity. It may not be everyone's first thought for a fundraiser but six Cumbrian lads have decided to strip off Full Monty style on 16 June to raise money for their local hospital.

The event is already a sell out, with local women beating down doors to get tickets to see these burly young men. Their practice video can be seen on fwi.co.uk/monty and it's definitely worth a watch.

For the final day, Miss Alice Serras:

I've never been much of an artist but I think even I could have come up with a better design for the logo representing London's 2012 Olympics.

This appears to be a sentiment echoed throughout the country with 38,000 people signing a petition for the logo to be scrapped. One of my favourite quotes, found online, was: "I've vomited better logos."

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, (where have you been?) picture the Tiswas logo and you're half way there. On top of all this, the 'geniuses' behind the idea have managed to spend £400,000 on a promotional video that triggers epileptic fits.

Farmers Weekly has decided to embrace this artistic outpouring by running a competition to design a logo for the British Agricultural Society. To find out more and to enter click here.

They say all good things must come to an end and this is indeed true for another member of the Mighty Black Sheep. I, Disco Stu, am moving to new adventures and therefore this is my final posting.

We have had some good times together; remember the pancakes:

Or maybe my shameless modelling:

Embarrassing moments aside, it has been a pleasure and i hope you enjoyed reading this blog as i much as i have enjoyed writing it.
