Interesting fact: Had a pig burnt in my honour at the Trondheim fire festival in Norway. I gave away a scan of a £10 in a joke competition to find the person who lived farthest away when I wrote a blog in 2001. The winner came from Norway. He won and then got his friends to rig the vote in a pig burning.
So copy the above and add your own. John
