No doubt this picture and story will further upset my blogging nemesis, Naylor, but all the more reason to feature it then.
I should point out that while the piglet concerned is undoubtedly cute, the place I most like to see a pig is, in fact, in a sausage!
Yummy.
..but you'd need a very small spit for a hog roast...
AAaaaaarghh. It was a trick. THAT is truly awful. TRULY. TRULY. AWFUL. In fact it is probably the most upsetting thing that I have ever seen.
I am referring, of course, to the Daily Mail website. How could you have put that link there? I feel very dirty for having seen it - luckily I was able to avert my eyes before it had time to turn me bourgeois.
The picture of a pig drinking a cup of tea, by the way, was disturbingly (but unsuprisingly) twee.
I knew it was a mistake coming onto this blog. Damn my curiosity. Readers who are similarly discomforted by photos of animals doing human things can take refuge on my blog

I think Matthew may have missed the comment about pigs and sausages.
He should also note that there are worse things than accidentally linking to the Daily Mail website...
..having family members who actually part with money for the publication...I'm so ashamed...
Incidentally, there has not been enough news on the nation's darlings Parsley and Nutmeg lately. I trust they are still ok?
