I turn to the cows as if they're the reason I'm there, and take pictures of them, tell them how good they are and how big and healthy they are .
Always look like your pleased to see them and greet them cheerfully.
congratulate them on carrying off the new look so floorlessly.
Always comment on there outstanding beauty.
Whilst the daft effers are full of them selves try and squeeze of a few
pictures of the stones, then if you have the technology
get Scotty to beam you the hell out of there.
Never works for me but you might have better luck
