      I wouldn't 'touche' his sausage with a barge-pole, Kelly.

      "that's life", from Wiki:
      Alongside their serious reports, however, the show still maintained more lighthearted features such as talented pets, including Prince, the talking dog, who said "sausages"


      It was all a long time ago..

      I know about the talking dog, but that cannot be the joke, surely?

    Now, now, boys ...... LOL!

    Well done Tom. I doubt if we will ever see another pig at the Trelawnyd "Sanctuary".

    AND I have gained two followers for the price of one - welcome Mo and Steve.

    I was going to put up another post this morning, but this one's going to trot and trot, so I leave it be for the time being.

    Q: What do you give a pig that has bruised itself?

    A: 'Oinkment'.

      And along those lines...

      I was in a restaurant next to a group of English and French kids once, and they were comparing various national ways of the way animals are supposed to talk - i.e. the English "Cockadoodledo!" which made the French kids wet themselves with laughter.

      One of the French kids asked what a pig says in English when you hurt it, and an English boy said "Ouch".

      If he had said 'oink', just think how that word would be pronounced in French....

      Oh well, it made me laugh, but I have deleted it anyway, for fear of being predictably tasteless (moi???) The rest can work it out for themselves... GEDDITT???!!!

    3. Tom Stephenson7 February 2012 at 14:25

      In my defence, though, it was your description of 'slowly pushing' the explosive charge in that started it. Why 'slowly pushing'? That's going to produce the image of a suppository in anyone's mind.

  22. Sisters of the Blog7 February 2012 at 11:36

    LOL, Tom! i shall never be able to look at the word 'oink' again in quite the same way.
