Year of the Pig
« on: Dec 28, 2018, 04:05:28 PM »
As we say farewell to 2018, I am surprised it is still allowed but next year is the year of the pig.
May I wish all of you and your dogs and cats a happy new year.

Are you sure? I thought it was the Year of the Dog...

It starts off as year of the cat for me. The neighbours are away for a week and I'm feeding their cat.

Just checked and you were/are right. I must've misheard something.

Does this affect what goes into the "House Specials"? If so I think I'll be trying the Indian instead in the year of the rat.

Piggin' out at Xmas with pigs in blankets puts weight on you, hence you're a (fat) pig and it's year of the pig.

(My feeble attempt at a joke, which obviously fell flat).

Not tipsy, just bonkers  :D :D :D
