OHMYGOD! I have just been into the pet shop on North Cross Road, to purchase our puppy a Christmas gift. Would you believe that they are selling genuine pigs snouts/noses?


Both of my poppets are completely traumatised. I shall be lying down for the rest of the afternoon.


Has anyone any thoughts about vegetarian pet foods?

you should try these www.mocksnouts.com

Years and years ago my father acquired a walking stick made from a Bulls Pizzle. And, as one does, I took it to the pub with me one night as a conversational piece. What intrigued me was how a couple of women friends there knew instinctively what it was and gave me a wide berth - at least I think that was the reason...:-S

OHMYGOD! I am repulsed by the pizzle suggestion, but the dog is tearing up the sofa and at least they are not recognizable like a freeze dried pig snout. Where could I buy a "pizzle"?


Lovely SimonM, is there any characteristic smell that may have frightened the ladies away?

The best place to start if you're looking for a bull pizzle is, obviously, a bull! They used to be quite popular with farmers, and you'd have to look closely to realise that the "stick" was made of no ordinary..uh...wood.


I really don't think there was any smell to the thing - it was quite old. It's just that women of breeding and gentility tend to have a kind of 6th sense about such disagreeable matters....

You do realise that these things have a thin metal rod down their centre for - ah - assisting rigidity don't you? So you may incur astronomical canine dentistry bills if you buy one for your yapping fashion accessory....:))


And remember...a bull pizzle is not just for Christmas!

Lovely SimonM,


Why in the name of God and all of his lovely saints and angels would someone really want to have one of these as a walking stick? Actually, I wonder if that is what I have seen Michael Paleologulopadopalot walking up Lordship Lane with? OHMYGOD!

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
