• The Pigs appeared in an episode of Peak Practice. Entitled tough love, it was filmed at Wingfield Manor in Derbyshire on a freezing cold
  evening on the 5th February 1997.
  
  
• We also appeared in an episode of 24 Hours, the making of Peak Practice. Unbeknown to us, 24 hours were making a film at the same time.
  
  
• Von once kicked the Duchess of Rutlands dog
  
  
• Kev was the voice of Donald Duck on Radio Derby's version of Tiswas in the early 70's
  (Think it was called the sardine club, can anyone remember it?)
  
  
• We have danced live on radio Nottingham - Yes you can dance live on Radio
  
  
• Dave put up the stage backdrop for Doctor and the Medics and once played Pete Greens guitar

  suffered the Landlords displeasure.
  PROOF - NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

• John and Von appeared in Terminator 2
  We were on a dance tour of America in 1991 and found ourselves in Santa Monica Shopping Mall as Arnie and gang were filming Terminator 2.
  Von and John were stood on a balcony overlooking the filming and in the opening scenes, as Arnie is walking through the Mall carrying a box
  of roses with his gun hidden inside, you can see Von and Johns legs standing at the balcony above him.
  PROOF
  
  
• The Pigs danced at the 2006 Elections in Erewash Borough for our Monster Raving Loony candidate R U Seerius as he went up against Kilroy Silk
  
  
• Kev was stabbed by Steve Winfield of late 70's early 80's Punk Rockers Anti-Pasti, admittedly they were in Tech Drawing in the fourth
  year of Bemrose School and the compass out of Steve's Helix Geometry set wasn't dead sharp either.
  
  
• Our Squire, John shared a joint with Lemmy out of Hawkwind in the foyer of Kings Hall in Derby in the early 1970's before going in to see the concert.

• Daves great great grandad was a murderer
  
  
• Marian's real claim to fame is that her Great Aunt Selina was a REAL LIVE survivor of the Titanic!!!! She ended up living in the States and
  died there in 1964, so how about that then? Her big sister can remember her coming to visit them at home in Chilwell in 1948 but as Marian
  was a babe in arms at the time she finds it a little difficult to remember no matter how hard she scratches her head.
  
  
• On a long car journey Von had to stop in a layby for a call of nature. She ran up the grassy knoll and hopped over a low hedge and dropped
  her knickers thinking her modesty was covered. Only to find, on looking over her shoulder that a dual carriageway ran behind the hedge on
  the grassy knoll and she had flashed her big fat bum at a lot of bemused motorists.
  
  
• Kev once rode around Derby City Centre to promote Santa's Grotto at Debenhams on top of the Child Catchers carriage from
  Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang whilst dressed as Mowgli from Jungle Book (that was the theme for that years Grotto). They only got the carriage
  because he refused to ride a camel from Chipperfields Circus. Once the task was completed he had to run into Debenhams and change into
  his Santa's little helper costume to work there. After three months of listening to the theme tune from Jungle Book he required serious counselling
  although for some reason, the costumes, carriages and camels never affected him at all. (so he tells us)
  
  
• Marian's other claim to fame or shame is that she met Billy Connolly in a pub in Drymen (Scotland) when they were both living there,
  circa 1979. A nice bloke, who said hello and signed her beer mat.
  
  
• Marians final claim is to being the current 'Senior Member' of the Side - and very proud of it. She can remember waving flags at the
  Queen in 1953 on her Coronation Tour and to being thrilled when Sir Edmund Hilary got to the top of Mount Everest!

• Kev was on guard of honour at Butterley Hall when he was in the Army Cadets in Silver Jubilee year, 1977, and met the
  Queen (midget) and the Duke of Edinburgh (not midget)

• Whilst dancing at the Stainsby Folk Festival many moons ago, one of our lady dancers who was wearing a sports vest, lost one of her
  boobs out the armhole and didn't realise. The musicians noticed straight away as she was rather well endowed, and did manage to alert
  her to the fact after the dance had finished some 4 minutes later :)
  
  
• The Sid Snot outfit was for Dr. Pig's part in a University staff/student pantomime in about 1982. He played Snow White's Bad Conscience.
