Old wives cure for warts.

We farmed pigs for many years, O'Neill, and I have a very early memory of the runt being in an auld tea chest by the stove in the kitchen.  My father, God rest him, was a bit of a Celtic fan and decided to call the pig Jimmy Johnstone, so every time there after we had a runt in the litter I remember referring to it as Jimmy Johnstone.

The deballing was vicious, especially when they put metholated spirits on the cut to stop the flies getting at them.  I was never allowed in to watch but do remember seeing the goolies on the floor afterwards and my da calling them plums.  Jam anyone?

The deballing is comparable to the now illegal practice of dehorning cattle with the wire rope.  Christ it was savage.

That deballing thing reminded me of the recent James Bond movie, and the chair with no seat. Yet 007 still managed to give some bird a good rogering later in the film.

Got to the bottom of it.

meat from pigs is my favourite.....
however gross their killings are the way i see it is that by me becoming a vegetarian isn't going to stop them being killed so......


i'm cold hearted!

but i didn't know thats what they done.... 

[Aerlik]

Jeez O'Neill you could be on to something there.  Around Kilrea the auld folk would talk about a copan or a gopan meaning a handful, or the amount gathered by the two hands cupped together.  Insightful man.

[ONeill]

That could be 'coppan' which according to this publication means 'a small wooden bowl', coming from 'copán, capán' -  a cup.
