UK : East : Jimmy protects his pigs ears.. ONE of Suffolk's most famous farmers is taking a rash measure to ensure his precious pigs are protected when he hosts a music festival on his land next month.
To help protect the animals' ears over the weekend, Jimmy has been testing out some special ear protectors, although his award-winning pigs were not so keen on the idea.
He said: “The last thing we want to do is disturb the farm's most important residents - the pigs.”

UK : East : Search on for Suffolks best pie they'd better keep it secure or people from Norfolk will come over and rob it :laugh_at:
SUFFOLK is well known for many things - picture postcard villages, a glorious coastline and stunning countryside are just a few of its many accolades.
But it's probably fair to say that when it comes to pies it's not up there with household names like Melton Mowbray.
But all that could be about to change if organisers of this year's Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival get their way.
The hunt is underway to find Suffolk's best pie - and put the county on the map when it comes to the popular savoury snack.

A joke One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads,see how the farms looked,and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living.The city man saw a farmer in his yard holding a pig up in his hands,andlifting it so that pig could eat apples from an apple tree.The city man said to the farmer,"I see that your pig likes apples,butisn't that quite a waste of time?"The farmer replied,"what's time to a pig?" :bounce_fl
UK : Midlands : Flying underwear causes power cut the different phases on power lines are set quite far apart to try and prevent stuff like this - so the thong must have belonged originally to a fairly large person...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/8177107.stm
A power cut which brought part of a Lincolnshire village to a standstill has been blamed on discarded underwear.
More than a dozen houses and a set of traffic lights in Leadenham were affected on Wednesday, with police being called to direct traffic.
Engineers traced the fault and found a thong had short circuited a power line.
It is believed the clothing was carried by a helium balloon from a nearby party. It became lodged in the wires and caused a fault when soaked by rain.
And I thought cliffy over indulged his cats.. some mad hippy has gone to all the trouble to find a old suitcase, halve it and then put in the cushions etc..
I still get the idea from the kitty's expression it isn't even that grateful and it looks like the photographer just dumped it in there to get the picture and it would so rather be elsewhere.... :laugh_at:
