The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Englishmen abroad
It's good to see full blooded Englishmen upholding decency and reserve abroad....
HAH! There's a wooden sculpture in Houston, TX in Hermann Park known casually as the Trojan Pig. (I don't know its rightful name.) It's big, blockish, mostly made of 2"x4" lumber, but if I were young again, I might consider organizing a similar stunt there, in the dead of night, of course.

that's me again; word in wrong place
Hmm I hope their balls froze to the statue!

Here it is. It's known as the Portable Trojan Bear. I don't know if it's still there or not; I don't drive that way these days.
What wouldn't a person do with a sufficient amount of alcohol in his veins? And who knows, it could have been some local yokel egging them on...
Haha Steve, make sue you are filmed if you do... or perhaps not!
I know I've done some stupid crap under the influence Snoopy. and with little egging too!
