That front one of those two Land-rovers is a bit of an Ass.

Geez, if he's not careful he could dislocate the donkey's hips when pulls the animal out backwards!

Unlikely, the harness includes a breast plate, the animal is pushing its chest into it. In any case it's possibly half-assed, i.e. a mule.

Those donkeys can be stubborn buggers mind - Especially when you have to reverse tow them out of a swamp ;-)

Always wondered why Americans call their backside an Ass, or is it just another word they can't spell, or pronounce, like Aluminium, Regards Frank.

Because after all the McDonalds, it's Ass wide as it can get and they struggle with a word with more than two syllables. A bit like SUV (God I hate that phrase) it's a bloody fourby!

Although it pains me to say so, they actually have aluminum correct. The English version was changed to match names of other elements in the periodic table.

This is the version I'm aware of:

Note on Naming: Sir Humphry Davy proposed the name aluminum for the metal, however, the name aluminium was adopted to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. This spelling is in use in most countries. Aluminium was also the spelling in the U.S. until 1925, when the American Chemical Society officially decided to use the name aluminum instead.

Have a look at how many elements finish with "ium", I'm telling you they can't spell, Regards Frank.

It is amazing Frank, how they can even spell 'illiterate' wrong - they spell it 'American English'
