This little piggy went ballistic

It was Sidney’s birthday today. Eleven years old. She might get to 5,000 miles on the clock, soon…or so Nicktor reckons.

Speaking of whom, he came over tonight for the usual movie and dinner.

Now that we regularly go to the Albion, the barmaid is starting to recognise us. I think, if Nicktor didn’t change his order every now and then, she’d know what our ‘usual’ is.

As it was, Nicktor failed to recognise her this week, recalling how he’d confused “her colleague” last week. When she mentioned it was her, I told her to excuse him as he was an idiot.

This week we both had ham, egg and chips, which was gloriously coincidental given we watched a film called Piggy, tonight.

When it comes to revenge movies, this one is a bit of a doozey. Roy, A young man with some sort of communication issue, loses his brother when he is viciously murdered by five men and he is tortured with his lack of ability to do anything about it. He then meets Piggy who leads him down the road of vicious revenge. Eventually, Roy is able to take up the cudgel in order to kill the fifth man.

We both enjoyed it but it was basically because of the amazing performance by Paul Anderson as Piggy. It was a piece of very skilled, mesmerizing acting. He was so powerful that the film tended to dip when he wasn’t on screen. Thoroughly enjoyable if you like that kind of thing.

We followed Piggy with Chancer. This was a British drama series made in 1990 and stars a very young Clive Owen in his first big role. Nicktor wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it but it was excellent.

The cast is amazing. Benjamin Whitrow, Leslie Philips, Robert Glenister, Stephen Tomkinson…the list goes on. An amazing array of talent.

It was so much fun that we watched the first two episodes. We would have kept going but the time had beaten us and we went to bed, instead. Now looking forward to the next Nicktor Night for the continuing story to…well, continue.
