    Everywhere you go, the pig is a part of our daily life. Whether it’s the little porcelain coin-receptacles we use to save up our money ,the pigs that have stolen our hearts on the silver screen (Babe, Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web) or the cute little animals we have witnessed during our farm visits, these adorable little porcine lovelies have made our lives greater at every step. They’ve even recently made strides into being a favourite family pet, especially the pot-bellied pig, so you can’t deny the fact that, despite their sloppy eating habits, they are fun to both watch and have around.

    Here's a picture of one of those 'micro' pigs:

  3. A long time ago, when I was working - "I've had a PIG of day" was a well known statement

  4. Forgot to mention it yesterday, but yesterday was 30 years since the First Gulf war ended. Remembering the 47 Brits that were killed in the conflict.

    My uncle used to have pigs. Always had 1/2 of one in the freezer. For years I thought sorene was pig food because they used to buy the out of date stuff and I helped to feed them with it. It's only when my mum bought some and I asked why she'd bought pig food :rolleyes:

    Pigs used to be in a sty, next to the outside privi at my Nans.
    There was about a 4ft drop into sty ( seemed a lot more as a youngster)...I was always falling in trying to reach the pigs and piglets.
    It's only recently that I realised that they really do eat anything and everything...watching crime dramas where bodies have been disposed of by putting in with the pigs....had some lucky escapes as a child it seems.
