Pistol and Boo should have disguised themselves as (maybe mad) cows
If only they'd disguised themselves as cows. Maybe mad cows.
You may recall the border-busting adventures of Pistol and Boo, pet puppies of Amber Heard, who in those carefree, pre-bitter-divorce days was still on jet-setting terms with Hollywood's Johnny Depp.
The cute little doggies shot to international fame in 2015 when Heard and Depp smuggled them into Australia, thus offending our famously strict quarantine laws.
The plight of the two Yorkshire terriers went stratospheric when Australia's customs and agriculture minister of the time, Barnaby Joyce, threatened to have Pistol and Boo shot if they weren't led back to Depp's plane and deported forthwith.
'If we start letting movie stars – even though they've been the sexiest man alive twice – to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?' Joyce foamed.
'It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States.'
That, of course, was then.

We serve up the viral ‘Big Yorkie' AKA a full roast dinner served in a giant Yorkshire pudding
Patrick Friesen is the culinary director of Applejack hospitality. Venues include Bopp & Tone, June's Shoppe, Hester's, The Butler Potts Point, The Botanist Kirribilli, SoCal Sydney, Forrester's Surry Hills. Today, Patrick will be cooking the 'Big Yorkie' on the show. This is a giant Yorkshire pudding stuffed with an entire roast dinner including beef, potato, carrots, peas and topped with gravy. Recipe below: Yorkshire Pudding Recipe – makes 4 Big Yorkies Ingredients (Yield based on batch): Plain flour – 280 gm Eggs – 8 pcs Milk – 400 ml Method: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the flour, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Preheat oven to 210°C. Using a 177 ml ladle, portion the batter into preheated trays - use a 20 cm cake tin Bake for 16 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Roast – makes 4 serves to fill the Big Yorkies Honey and carraway roasted carrots 8 pc carrots peeled and cut into 2 cm pieces. 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp olive oil Big pinch of sea salt 1 tsp carraway seeds Method Preheat oven to 170C Cut carrots, toss with olive oil, honey, carraway seeds and salt. Roast in baking tray for 20 minutes or until caramelised and soft. Roast beef 1.5 kg sirloin roast 2 sprigs thyme 2 pc rosemary 2 sprigs bayleaf Salt and pepper 2 tbsp olive oil Method Preheat oven to 220C Pick thyme and rosemary. Chop until coarse. Season liberally 6 hours in advance with salt and pepper. Rub with olive oil and add chopped herbs. Leave uncovered in the fridge. Take out a few hours before roasting so the meat can come up to room temperature. Roast for 20 minutes at 220C to caramelise the outside. Reduce temperature to 160 and cook until 45 degrees C. Take out and rest for 30 minutes. The beef should carryover cook until an internal temp of 55C for medium rare. Slice and enjoy. Gravy. Beef drippings 500 ml water 4 tbsp gravy powder Now that we roasted the beef we have a pan full of crispy beef drippings. Deglaze the pan with water and bring to a boil. Make a slurry with the gravy powder and just enough water to make it a paste. Add to the boiling deglazed water and bring back to a boil to thicken. If too thick add a splash of water. If too thin add a bit more gravy powder. Crispy spuds 1 kg chat potatoes Salt to taste. Rosemary 2 sprigs Garlic 6 cloves Olive oil 100 mm Method Boil halved chat potatoes in salted boiling water until fork tender. Remove and let dry. Smash lightly and put on a baking sheet with olive oil, salt, picked rosemary and lightly smash the garlic cloves. Roast at 220C for 45 minutes turning halfway until they are super crispy and moreish. Peas 500 gm baby peas. I prefer the Edgell brand baby peas. Salt Butter Blanch frozen peas in boiling salted water until hot. Toss with a tbsp of butter and a good pinch of salt.
