Does that mean we're engaged, Trubs? Almost. |

I bloody love those wellies. Do they come with stiletto heels?  There's these, Lil, but they're only available in Britain . . .  . . . actually, reading the small print, only in Essex.~ These ones are pretty stylish, though they're not stilettos . . .  I have two pairs - in white. |

I shouldn't mind betting they're Action Man boots. Or possibly Barbie boots - depends on the sex of the piggie I suppose.

Does that mean we're engaged, Trubs? Does that make me almost a bigamist, Ev? |

Imagine the shame of the piggie if he is a boy and they are Barbie boots. Doesn't bear thinking about.  |

I think they're probably Action Man boots. We should ask Alpha as I believe he's the expert.

Lil! Are you implying that I fancy pigs? I beg to inform you that I don't live on some pig farm in the outback of the penal colonies, but in Wales, where there are more sheep than people. ..er.. . . . . . Just like Oz and NZ, now that you come to mention it. [insert jocular comment here] |

Well, if you DID fancy pigs, it would be most unpleasant and inconvenient to cuddle up with it. Imagine the smell in the stye...most anaphrodisiac.

Kathy Clugston, one of Radio 4's main presenters, was talking this morning about life without the sense of smell. She was born that way. Doesn't bear thinking about.

[Trust Trubble to perpetrate an interesting thread.] Yes, I listened to that, Weyland. A friend of mine has had no sense of smell after having a bad cold many years ago. She says it can be dangerous (i.e. gas) but also she can't smell if she's burning food when cooking. |

That would be a bonus in my house.  Actually I like the smell of pigs. And manurey stuff from the garden centre. I much prefer it to the perfume counters in poncy shops. |

My grandmother didn't have a sense of smell.
And my brother didn't, for a few years.

I suppose of all the senses it may be the easiest to live with the loss of? ( weird sentence construction there, sorry).

It would be a bit of a blow when you've been looking forward to tucking into a nice dinner or not being able to smell the bottle of Chanel No. 5 that your nearest and dearest bought you for Christmas, and of course there's the safety aspect, but apart from that it's not exactly what I'd call disabling. |

I do charity work with blind people and I must say I have no idea how they stand it.
