My adorable 'mini-pigs' have become hogzillas
When my wife Emma came across pictures on the internet, long before they became the celebrity pet accessory of choice, her response was to cluck, coo and call for the children. According to them, mini-pigs were specially bred to grow just 12in high.

Love is in the ether
Had I breezed into a real world bar and introduced myself as LoveDocDan, I would've been met with gales of laughter and an invitation from the bouncer to stay in more, which is exactly what many people are doing nowadays. They're logging on to the idea of digital dating. It's no longer the last resort for cyber spods from the social backwoods, unable to cope with real situations. In a typical singles chat room you'll find individuals from all walks of life, from high-powered executives with little leisure time, to men and women who have exhausted their social networks and are looking for a safe way to meet like-minded soul mates. OK, it was a long shot. Of all the chat rooms in all of cyberspace, the chances of clicking with someone across the street are deeply unrealistic. Back in the real world, HippyChix27F might describe herself as a bubbly blue-eyed blonde, but I'd be a fool if I took her word for it. I don't suppose she believes me either when I say that I'm a spit for Tom Hanks; but as we're both having fun, why spoil the fantasy? If we really start to click, then maybe we'll swap pictures and even pick up the phone. Who knows? Within months I might be wrestling with a bag of peanuts compliments of Qantas Airways, nervously anticipating that moment when we finally set eyes on each other. The internet has reinvented romance for our times. We're writing love letters again via e-mail, conducting affairs without meeting face to face, and finding real life love with people we would never otherwise encounter. It's big business too. New chat sites and cyber classified services are cropping up every day, each one tailored to a particular age group, interest, pursuit or fantasy. From Shy 25s to Pillow Talk Politics, Married But Flirting to Desperately Seeking Anyone, all human life is out there. It's just a question of browsing for the site that suits you, and finding your feet in this new environment. \"First time users do find it strange,\" says Katie Jones of UKChat (www.ukchat.co.uk), Britain's most popular independent cyber social.
