I have a red car, I don't have any blue flowers in my garden, I have no blue clothes other than jeans, I try to not have blue things in my house at all and recently had a right job convincing the missus that the blue 'aqua tile strip' proposed for our new bathroom was inappropriate.

As a kid I always wanted Puma King boots but since they became trotter boots always wore Adidas World Cup.

In our family we don't drive past the sty for any reason and don't care what the delay is.

I don't hve any pig friends, it helps living 200 miles away but the only lads I've kept in touch with are all Blades (shared match days in the 80s serving as bonding sessions).

I have no interest in the pigs, couldn't name more than one player and he was the cheating one mentioned recently in most sports pages. I don't waste my time wanting to know about them. If people ask I just say I genuinely don't care and they don't exist in my life as a footballing entity, I don't check their scores or monitor anything about them.

The recent pig run to Wembley has ' outed' a few pig outlets and they won't ever be visited again under current management. Hangin scarf streaks of bacon in your pub or displaying pig praise items is an immediate bar on custom.

My wife says I'm odd, I say I'm happier without anything pig in my life.

UTB and most definitely FTP.

Wow. That's, er, impressive.

Do you eat pork products?

My cats eat John West Tuna. Should I change to Princes?

Absolutely not! Eating an heir to the throne is a capital crime and the cats would be immediately destroyed.

I understand you don't want them to eat John West though, so I'd try to find another brand if I was you.

Hope that helps
 
I stopped using Mercury Taxis when they started openly professing their allegiance to those bastards.

City Taxis (and previously RCA) on the other hand have always been quite supportive of United.

Well, personally, I think that's a bit daft.

Why is it?

A company advertises with the pigs as they think they will get favourable exposure to the little piggies with their filthy lucre. It's not like sponsoring Manyoo for global exposure, it is predominantly local and regional companies wanting to piggyback (ha!) on the Wendy brand.

It's their choice to spend their money in that way but they have well and truly nailed their colours to the mast. This allows me to then look for Bladey or neutral alternatives.

Just so you can see how daft I am, offthe top of my head I have:
Sold a house with Blundells
Closed a Co-op savings account
My company now use DBL Logistics (good service too)
I still have a Capital One credit card (though I cut up the Blades one in the 90s on the day they sold Agana)

Being a Blade is a 24/7 thing, not just for match days........oh I remembered, you don't even go then, do you?

Doesn't matter how you try to justify it, altering your life in general because of a football rivalry is daft, let alone your business and your income. But if that's what floats yer boat, that's up to you.

Yes mate, love a bacon sarnie and proper sausages, not those slurry filled condoms of 10% 'meat'.

Did have an issue with my nephews and nieces though. In our family when we see a real life pig in the country or on TV we call them Wednesdays. So, the scenario of a family walk somewhere and three under fives all point and shout when they see a pig in a farm and say "look Uncle Canterbury its a Wednesday", or " isn't that Wednesday muddy" etc.

Great fun until the eldest went to school and wouldn't accept the teachers view that the animal was called a pig and not a Wednesday!

Good lad!
 



I sent a message to Dave Blunkett. explaining my predicament about him being being a Labour man but also a well known PIG.

This is what he sent me as a reply.

I know. I couldn't believe he would be so understanding.

Good on ya Dave lad.
 
I refuse to put a single penny more in to the pigs than is strictly necessary. The only money that ever goes directly from my pocket in to the pigs coffer is strictly gate money when I go to watch United play there, and once inside the ground any refreshments and a programme is strictly off limits as unnecessary expenditure.

I've never eaten a Mr Tom bar, owned a Finlux TV, worn anything made my Puma, and I don't like Tuna but if I did, John West pig tuna would be boycotted.

Floats my boat? It's my bloody reason for existence.

It's not a 'justification', it is part of the way I live my life.

Of course I'd let it influence my business and my choices and I get great satisfaction from so doing.

One man's 'daft' is another's moral code but somehow I'm not surprised that you can't get that.

It doesn't seem to have done Alan Sugar all that much harm...

BTW I'm not a 'business great'. I'm a director of my own small company earning a modest living but it allows me time to do plenty of other things.

Money really isn't everything.
 
My cars have been red then white then black. Never blue.

One flirtation with racing green, but that can be my away kit....
