Using dejanews power search http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml and
searching for:
"Baby Matthew with his dummy in" gave:
--------------------------------
           ,  !  ,
    ,-=?,   ' _ '   _  -  _                  _,
   c , _,)  ({_}) = _    [_)  _ ~T~_   \    (_,

   /^~=-~^~=E}   '          (  (   /
  (_/    )="^      '
   ~

  This is Baby Matthew with his dummy in (that's Pacifier for all you
  Yankee-speaking folk) and he's playing with his favorite toy.

  It is indeed. It reminds me of the Friendly Giant's castle. I feel
  compelled to put a cow jumping over the moon above it.

  There must be a few people around who were addicted to watching
  Friendly. My favourite was when the cats came to play music.

Again, let dejanews be your friend. (I keyed into the power search
"compelled to put a cow jumping over the" and got three hits, two of
which were your recent posts and one which was the original.
