Jeez today has been a day.

Reminds of a quote my gramps said (in a very thick scottish accent many moons ago). He was a wheat / sheep farmer in WA and ended up looking after pigs for the CSIRO in retirement.

With a straight face "Aye the more I get to know me pigs, the less I like people". I was too young to understand it but it all makes sense now.

I’ve heard pigs are very good company, so I reckon gramps was onto something there

He gave up eating pork after looking after them heh. Absolutely taken by them.
