I saw this...

...and couldn't help but think of Korova.

It's a chinese ferret badger.
I don't think I need to say anything else.

And if that has whet your appetite, K- there is a whole world of possibility for you here.

Somehow I don't think posting this picture will get me as many comments as that Alyson Hannigan one...

The RPG Class Test

Mystic Theurge 25% Combativeness, 36% Sneakiness, 79% Intellect, 52% Spirituality

Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge! Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you’re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't. The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class. You're both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person.

If you make me wear this hat I swear on my next nappy I'll make you pay.

The best way to get the presents was going to be the Christmas tree disguise.

From todays 'Times' newspaper

Smell 'explained'

New York. A mysterious gas- like odour that covered Manhattan and worried residents has been blamed on neighbouring New Jersey.

Poor New Jersey. It seems to get the blame for most of America's ills.

Tired/Tyres

Not much to blog about at the moment as I'm sure you don't want to hear about the lack of sleep we are all currently suffering from or the conveyor belt of nappies. Oh god, the nappies.

...

Funnily enough (well, I say 'funnily' but you know what I mean) just as I typed that last bit I had to pause to change yet another nappy. Obviously I need to be carefull what I say/type at the moment. A day or two ago I happened to mention to MC that not being at work for the last three weeks was going to save me just under £100 in petrol costs. Today I go and get a puncture which costs me £92.50 for a new tyre. And yet strangely there is still no sign of Alyson Hannigan.
We had just parked in the street outside my parents house and as we got out of the car I can hear this really loud hissing noise. Assuming that I hadn't just run over an incredibly large snake I ended up having to drive to a nearby tyre centre to get a replacement, with one moment of panic when a dustcart pulled out in front my car and started crawling up the road. Luckily it soon went off in the opposite direction to me and I got the car to the garage before any wheels dropped off.

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas/time off work/relevant festival.

I discovered that some people do actually read my blog. Back in August I made this post after discovering a Transformer that was a robotic Han Solo and Chewbacca that could combine to change in to the Millenium Falcon. Then in November I posted a piece on Adam Adamant which you can see here.
For Christmas my brother Rhub not only got me the Adam Adamant dvd boxset but also the very cool Falcon Transformer (and yes it is just as cool as it looks. I'm currently looking for somewhere I can install the shrine).
Clearly this is the place to start leaving hints about things I want people to get me...
