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


'A tasty and ethical alternative to real pig snouts, the finest organic root vegetables diced, shaped and baked in a hand cranked solar oven, glazed with honey crafted by bisexual buddhist bees with nostrils lovingly poked out with a Linda McCartney vegan pepperami'

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!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
