Big pigs are reet scary. I was walking along side a field of big pigs, and one of them wandered over to face me down, picked up a largish rock in its mouth, and proceeded to break it up with its teeth! Reply to this message | Report message

Pigs are omnivores. They can, and will, eat human beings without a trace of malice; to them it's simply food. Thee are several documented cases of farmers in the UK being wholly or partially consumed by pigs; apparently more people are killed by pigs (both wild and domestic) every year, than are killed by sharks.

Perhaps we should feed Brady, Huntley, Whiting etc. to the pigs, instead of saving their bacon. Reply to this message | Report message

A few years ago When we were teething and tailing a litter of Piglets, we managed to usher the old Sow out of the loose-box and shut the door. Now Piglets can be noisy blighters when picked up, and after a couple of minutes there was an almighty bang, the loose-box door exploded into match-sticks and in charged one mighty angry Pig. You have never seen three fellas clear a stone trough and a five foot wall so fast! not even if Pig-jumping was an Olympic sport! Reply to this message | Report message

I seem to remember - I've Googled for it without success - that the wife of an associate of Rupert Murdoch at News International was murdered about 35 years ago and her body allegedly fed to pigs. I can't even remember the name and I may have scrambled the whole thing but the pigs element rang a bell. Reply to this message | Report message

It was certainly the plot of something on telly a couple of years back - not sure if it was drama or a real crime. Reply to this message | Report message

1970 when Muriel McKay, the wife of Rupert Murdoch's deputy, Alick McKay, was kidnapped and killed. In a bungled extortion attempt Arthur and Nizamodeen Hosein thought they had taken Mr Murdoch's then wife Anna. Mrs McKay's body was never discovered, but it was suspected she was fed to pigs on a Hertfordshire farm owned by the brothers. Reply to this message | Report message

Cheers for that Z. Nice to know my brain is still half-working. I thought the name was McKay - I remember him - but I'm obviously not a proper Googlenaut. Reply to this message | Report message

I'd like to see that zeddo do it if he's the one in the Kingandcastle`s video. Pertinent I thought that this liquid air engine should come from his neck of the woods, all that stuff at -200c could balance some of the hot air. ;>) Reply to this message | Report message       1

There is a lot of confusion over the meaning of the word lavatory. It is dervived from two French words, "laver" (to wash) and "or", meaning gold. A lavatORy, to give it the correct pronunciation, is a room for washing gold. We only recently installed a toilet in Tne Towers, but we have had a lavatory for centuries.

"Lavatory" is a cockney word meaning total disbelief as in "Love a Tory?" Reply to this message | Report message       1

One evening in October, when I was one-third sober, An' taking home a ‘load' with manly pride; My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter, And a pig came up an' lay down by my side; Then we sang ‘It's all fair weather when good fellows get together,' Till a lady passing by was heard to say: ‘You can tell a man who "boozes" by the company he chooses' And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Haven't heard that one in years. Used to be sung in temperance meetings, I was once told. By chance, yesterday, I was breathalysed for the first time in my life, in the middle of the day in a village pretty much in the back of beyond. So that's why the French don't drink much at lunchtime any more - except on Sundays. Reply to this message | Report message
