    Excellent plan b

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...price-tag.html

    These micro piglets may be tiny enough to fit in a teacup, but at £700 their price tag is anything but small.

    The pets, which grow to be just 14in tall, have become so popular that they are now almost impossible to get hold of in Britain.

    They have even been snapped up by celebrities, including Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley.

    "Demand for micro pigs is soaring and we are inundated with enquiries every day," said Jane Croft, 42, who breeds them.



    This has got to be a good plan b. Invest in a few mating pairs and await the windfall.

    £700 a pop!

    Nice in a large bap too.

              Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

              Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                Hmm good point Zips, PogMog01 and PogMog02 are already paying far too much attention to PogPiggie01 & PogPiggie02 - but they are adorable.

                    If I ever get to buy my mansion, plan b might be breeding and selling unusual pets like the micro pig.

                    e.g.
