    I take exception to you referring to the Orange Oaf as a pig - pigs are noble and appealing creatures ... :mrgreen:



    Well... I have, in my time, observed pigs rolling in mud and excrement with their friends while clearly content with their lot. I merely observe the similarity.

    There is a huge difference between a pig and a piglet. As everyone knows, piglets are charming and adorable. My beloved, late mother-in-law had a pet piglet when she was of a tender age.

    I don't know if any of you watch the proceedings from the Scottish Parliament, but the MSP for Orkney, Liam McArthur, gave a very moving tribute today to his predecessor, Jim Wallace.

    (In fairness, I saw it via a Facebook post from Liam).

    Further to my post above, I'm rather pleased to report that Jim's funeral is going to be in St Magnus Cathedral, and he's going to be buried in Orkney.

    I'd have understood if it had been "south", but I'm glad it isn't.

    Further addendum to above posts: there's to be a memorial service for Jim in Dunblane Cathedral in June, and my friend from Scottish Voices who also sings in the Dunblane choir told me yesterday that she'd suggested (without my knowledge) to their choirmaster that I might like to sing with the choir for it, explaining my Orkney connection and my musical background.

    I'm extremely chuffed, and shall be booking the day off work forthwith.

    Oh that's wonderful Piglet. A sad occasion but a very moving one to be involved with.
