I've kept pigs, sorry. You could try being breed specific - ours were gloster old spots.

dammit;)

Breeds wouldn't work, since ours were a mish-mash of what turned up in the market, or what farmers wanted to get rid of.

Perhaps I should have followed Rich's example, and kept llamas instead. But I doubt llama-bacon would taste quite the same.

I've done pigs too! ;@)

Can you explain number 10 - it intrigues me

[oedipamaas49.livejournal.com]

hmmm...I may have to strike pigs from the record.

the portfolio: building was owned by a paranoid artist. It was officially an art studio, and he wanted us to pretend to be art students so that the neighbours and the government wouldn't realise there were people living there. So there was a stack of portfolios, and we all had to carry one every time we left the building.

That's even stranger that what I initially thought which was that you were either part of an installation or the recipient of perverted body art. On second thought you may have been part of some attempt at performance art.

How about the security alert?
