The story also goes that the pig did not ‘survive’ very long 🥓 On a separate note, when I was young my pet rabbit ‘escaped’ and ran off. Dear old dad made a lovely stew that night to cheer me up. similarly, my dad bought home rabbits for my sister and i (and encouraged to feed up......) as i recall, the rest of the family refused to eat the stew that dad made..

Carnivore humour that. I once snared, killed, and gutted then cooked a Rabbit. Never again. Sentient being a Pig/Rabbit. Both show fear, both don't want to die.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I once saw a sheep escape from a truck that was delivering sheep to an abattoir near where I used to work. It's not very often that you'll see a sheep run up a main arterial road in the heart of Birmingham. I suspect it was re-captured, but maybe it's still out there. Mind you, it was running in the direction of the 'Balti Triangle', so I'm not so sure about how long it would have lasted 'on the run' - or should that be 'on the lam(b)'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked out our window this morning and saw the sheep back down to the field . Amongst them is the one I saved and I was sure it saw me and stared at me with eyes filled with gratitude . You can just see her through the woods over the raging torrent I had to wade through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s six metres wide and over two feet deep in places. Also very slippy. Ok maybe the raging torrent (happens during heavy rainfalls) was a bit of hyperbole . Love 💗 Bungle, hated the hippo.

Why on earth did he nod at me first? Is it possibly because he thought it prudent to do so because I was a bit of a geezer at the time, or was it something else, like reverse, double reverse, fuck it just park it there, meglomania? And if so, which one of us 'owned' that meglomania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
