Prodding a pig in the snout

Boys will be boys - sat in this Tornado cockpit at the Cornwall Show, there was no-one else on their stand at the time, had a good chat with the Weapons Engineer about Libya. He's just come back from Italy - where they load up the bombs on all the fighter jets, they fly to Tripoli, let them drop and then come back for more. Sounds like they're doing a lot more than we're hearing about.

The show summary in no particular order - prodded a sleeping pig in the snout, lost Billy, found some chickens for the garden, sat in a Fiat twin 500 (boasts of amazing fuel consumption, research back home suggests the figures are somewhat exaggerated), fondled a pig's ear, lost Janey, found Billy, lost Fin, bought some blue cheese, watched some sheep judging, admired some Bulls, found Janey and Fin, ate the most tasteless cheeseburger ever, erm sat in some cockpits, threw some balls at coconuts - you know what? It was actually a really good day.

Visited another place last week where you're always guaranteed to lose your kids, row with your partner and enjoy a shopping experience similar to back in the 1930's - ah, the wonder of Trago! A mate went to 'returns' last week, this toy rat he'd bought for his lad kept going in circles - well, we did warn him. He's probably still there now, you can visit 10 different departments before they'll give you a refund. Top tip - if it's a toy you're returning, you need to take it back to the paint section. If it's paint, then you'll need Ladies Fashion. For garden tools, that'll be Christmas Decorations. It's like trying to crack the Da Vinci Code.
