Quiz: How well do you remember 2007?

A lot has changed in the past 10 years.

IT MAY ONLY be 10 years ago, but a lot has changed in the world since 2007.

Twitter and Facebook were in their infancy.

The recession hadn’t happened yet.

Donald Trump hadn’t happened yet.

After testing your knowledge of 1987, and 1997, we thought we’d go at it again.

Best of luck…

    It’s sad to see a sentient animal traumatized like this, and more sad to see ‘intelligent’ people make jokes about animal distress. Slaughtering animals in a world where vegetarianism is a cheaper option to ‘abatoir produced food’ is both intrinsically immoral and unneccessary. Our food should not include ‘Fear’ as part of its production.

    A farmer goes out to check on his livestock after a freak tornado hits his land. There in one of the trees, hanging for dear life from the branches is one of his Fresian cows. The farmer looks at the scene before him, scratches his head in bewilderment and says:

    “This Cow in Tree is a joke!”
