I'm watching it too, the ad's are on at the moment. It makes me feel really selfish when I complain about aches and pains, it's nothing compared what this poor man and his family has to endure.

I was watching until they said there would be a pig slaughter so I turned it off again :(


I guess it's safe to go back now.

I'm not one to complain - but I bet they are snowed under with the complaints about the pig

Anne Report 7 Apr 2008 21:30

I closed my eyes and put my fingers in my ears. Don't think they should have shown that.

Jessie aka Maddies mate

Jessie aka Maddies mate Report 7 Apr 2008 21:32

Has anyone noticed - or did I miss them talking about it?? But his Mum and Dad appear to have the same condition but only smaller, lots of little bumps on their necks and bottom of their faces

Devon Dweller

Devon Dweller Report 7 Apr 2008 21:40

Yes I noticed that too Jessie

Jessie aka Maddies mate

Jessie aka Maddies mate Report 7 Apr 2008 21:42

Strange they haven't mentioned it ??

God how much did they remove - it was massive and look at the huge one on the other side

Lots of blood loss - looks shocking
