If I did that, I'd be out of a job.

what does being a janitor have to do with curing cancer?

Someone has to sweep up all the small furry animals who have sacrificed their lives for science.

Answer your PMs, Majum, instead of indulging in this pseudo-small-talk.

What an amazing April 1st news story, and only one week late

They stole 118 piglets worth over £4,000 and they were stolen from an indoor pigpen sometime between31 January and 31 March ????? How nice of them to pop in and see if the little piggies were OK every couple of months. I mean, that's a caring rural environment isn't it ? And what a drag to have to feed them every two months or so, especially in the cold weather !!!!

But my favourite part is the demonstration of the sharp acuity of the local constabulary.

A spokesman for Humberside Police appealed for help to find the piglets.

"This is an extraordinary theft," she said.

"With so many piglets involved we are sure someone must have seen or heard something."

Wow, welcome back PC Plod

118 piglets carted off on a lorry, and she thinks "someone must have heard something"

Yep, you would think so, wouldn't you

Oh the tears, the aching ribs ....

And yes, Simon, please put them back immediately

Depending on dates etc, sure.

likewise.

to anyone who is interested, there's a semi-decent article in the latest restaurant magazine on suckling-pig - in spain. unfortunately the article lacks substance, but it points out two supposedly excellent places for SP in or near madrid.

while on the subject, there's also a good aritcle on old-school french cuisine and a great recipe for turbot a l'amiral...looks impressive.

Has the date been decided yet for St John and the suckling pig?

I believe the Lord High Organiser is in New York at the moment, wading through several feet of snow and generally having a rotten time of it. So I guess he'll start to fix a date next week

Thanks, macrosan.

I am speaking to them about dates on my return from the US on Friday, so I am sure this will all be fine

They're going to stuff the suckling pigs with dates ? Or are we talking about date pudding for afters ?

Glad to find that you're keeping your head above the snowdrifts, Simon. I was starting to worry about you.
