Rothbury Woman Explodes
The village of Rothbury is in a state of shock after a local woman exploded early on Sunday morning. Mrs. Violet Thrung was walking near Simonside with her sister Muriel. I was taking her picture, she was sitting on a rock, and then she went bang! Said Muriel. Police, Ambulance and Fire crews attended the scene along with an Army bomb disposal team. Its a complete mystery said Major Ronald de Bilious Mallard, there is no trace of any explosive materials or devices at all. The Police have stated that they are not looking for anyone in connection with the incident at this time the investigation is still at an early stage said Inspector Earnest Churney. Local separatists, The Snitter Marxist Independence Front, have denied involvement. Its nowt te dey wi us a spokesman for S.M.I.F claimed. Mrs. Thrung, 67, was the widow of the late Arnold Chuffy Thrung, the world famous sheep whisperer.

Hi,
I am afraid my humour is difficult to penetrate but as I always say;
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure . . . than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that is known as Seahouses".

Hi, afraid not. Violet was in fact a direct decendant of non other than Enoch Putters;
"Born in Thrunton, 1887. The son of a lime slaker, one of seventeen children. Enoch Putters became the only person ever to capture and tame the wild and extremely rare Northumbrian Cyclopic Pig.
For twenty years, mocked by his peers, Enoch searched Northumberland for the fabled pig. He caught a young boar near the Cheviots at a location he would never disclose,
Overnight they became a sensation. People came from the four corners of the globe. Royalty, heads of state, politicians and men and women of wealth queued with the rank and file for days to see them perform.
After seven years of total success the pig was accidentally killed by a falling wardrobe and a distraught Enoch withdrew from society with a bottle and the pig head had stuffed. Enoch died at Wooperton in 1950. The pig is kept to this day somewhere in Northumberland".

...and here's me thinking that a pig in show business who had an unfortunate "wardrobe malfunction" was a recent development.
The pig is kept to this day somewhere in Northumberland.
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it, next time I'm in the area.
