First, you will need to make sure that whoever you buy the pig from has a licence from the Ministry of Agriculture. This licence allows the pig to be transported to your home.Once the pig is at your home you should tell your local council that you have it as a pet. An Animal Welfare Officer may wish to visit you and check that the pig is healthy and that its living conditions are of an acceptable standard.You should also think about your neighbours’ feelings. Pigs can be noisy and, unless their living area is regularly cleaned, quite smelly, and this can cause conflict between you and them.q George Wise is managing director of NatWest UK Mortgage Services.q Send your queries on practical property issues to the following address: Home Truths, Independent on Sunday, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL, fax: 0171-293 2043; e-mail: sundayproperty independent.co.uk.

There are understudies for Othello, Desdemona and Iago, but not for my part, Emelia, who is Desdemona’s servant. I don’t have much to do in the first half, but it all builds up in the second.It went fine again tonight. We’ve sussed out a really good restaurant round the corner from the theatre, where you can eat incredibly cheaply. Everyone was expecting Tokyo to be fantastically expensive, but five of us ate here and the bill came to pounds 16, including drink The only problem is that places seem to close very early. You need to be in by 10.30pm.THURSDAY: It’s been interesting to learn what the critics have made of us.

We’ve had the reviews translated, and they’ve been very good. One of them had the idea that Iago was the really tragic figure, not Othello. I think the writer may have a point.FRIDAY: Simon and I went off to an oriental bazaar, and looked at prints and fans and other decorative things Packaging here is just wonderful – an art form in itself. We’d also heard about an English bookshop and went looking for that But we never found it. I think people were giving us directions out of politeness rather than because they actually knew where it was It’s an extraordinarily polite, formal society.

The whole thing has been the experience of a lifetime.The Royal National Theatre production of ‘Othello’ goes on to South Korea, China, New Zealand, Australia and the United States before the company returns to Britain in April.. HILLARY CLINTON complained last week that politically motivated people were trying to “sensationalise” the charges against her husband. One would have thought the charges (whether true or not) were sensational enough without needing anyone to come along and sensationalise them, but there you are. Sensation is one of those words that spend most of their time behaving well and staying in their baskets until someone comes and prods them and they leap out snarling and barking.

A sensation is usually only a feeling, which is what sensus means in Latin, and a sensate person is merely someone who has their senses, or wits as they were once called, about them (sensible means much the same). Dr Johnson might talk about “a man of sensation” where today we would talk about a man of feeling. But sometimes the word can be made to mean violent feeling, which is when people begin to get excited. It must have been this sort of sensation that the Royal Academy was after when it tried to revive its fortunes with an exhibition of modern art belonging to Charles Saatchi One can see the trendier academicians round the table What shall they call it? “Got it!” says one. “Sensation!” (Cries of Like it, like it.) And so they did.
Some might call that pretty cheap. But complaints about “sensation-mongers” have been heard ever since popular newspapers began.
