This little piggy had roast beef
This line is strange. Who feeds pigs roast beef? Well, farmers do, idiot. Pigs are omnivorous and it is common to feed them table scraps and garbage when “slopping” them. This pig is obviously underweight, and to fetch a good price later on, it must first gain some girth. Delicious, rindy, girth.

Human eyeball looks rather like a peeled boiled egg, hence the phrase "keep your eyes peeled", meaning "keep your eyes wide open so the bit that looks like a boiled egg is on show".

No, you got it right, this time, I just thought it was very funny you never realised it before, especially because you can often see it written down in some ads/leaflets. Don't worry, I got things mixed up more than once myself... :cool:

I always thought it was more literal than that, as in, 'remove the skin/peel/rind from your eyes' --> your eyelids, therefore --> 'Keep your eyes open'.

The version I heard growing up, the pig had "bread and butter" not roast beef

Maybe not that obvious but the fact that the terror group now known as ISIS have been around in one shape or form since 1999. I was of the impression that their existence only came about in the past 4 years.

You're not alone. The so called "war on terror" is now the geopolitical version of the x-factor. One minute they're nobodies, then they get to do a gig with the pentagon watching......

Rest is 'istory as they say.

Haha, mad you just noticed that! I remember something I hadn't copped that my friend did is in the Chris the sheep episode.
The part near the end where Ted is identifying the culprits, when he says there names the crowd gasps and you hear chatter for a second. Well at the end of the chatter you hear a voice just saying "f#*%ing hell"!!
This happens twice, first when Ted names the two lads and then when he says it was the farmer himself. Sorry probably didn't explain that very well, watch the scene though and you'll see what I mean, it's very funny!

OK found it there, this is the after he identifies the two lads. So we already missed the first one but you hear the second one.

Also, the guy that says it is Graham Linehan

What really obvious thing have you only just realised?
