12 cows are called a flink.
A plain old group of cows is called a herd or kine. Why it is different for a specific number (12) is beyond me.

That there's a very famous painting called Daybreak that' i'd never seen or heard of before.

I fianlly learnt that the prophet Muhomad had some revelations that later he claimed were cases where some satanic spirit had taken him over so, some of his prophecies are false, hence Salmdon Rushdie wrote some fictional piece (The Satanic Verses) loosely based on this fact in the Koran...weird.

The wifi in the coffee shop I go in to acess my spotify to download offline playlists hasn't been working the past few days. Now i've got to go to the local pub which will probably mean the landlady will wish my happy xmas and i'll have to reply in kind even though I hate xmas and resent having to join in with it.
