Got some time to spare for a story??

Go get a cuppa or what ever your poison may be....I will wait!

The Story of the "Shiny Fing"

I put my hands up! I borrowed this phrase from a kiddy book! Yes I am not ashamed to admit I read kid's books. I don't go in for none of that 'arry Potter twaddle.....I prefer that on screen truth be told. I go for the stuff that makes my belly jiggle with giggles. Stuff like this:

YOU DON'T KNOW MR GUM?

Well he is a mean, grumpy old man with "two bloodshot eyes that stare out at you like an octopus in a bad cave”. He hates “children, animals, fun and corn on the cob”. His favourite TV show is Bag Of Sticks (a picture of a bag of sticks for half an hour). He is the main villain and friends with Billy William the Third. "Shabba me whiskers" is his favourite phrase.

NOW FOR THE SHINY FING BIT.....

This is an excerpt from the book;

And there he sat, right in the middle of all that chaos, sprawled on a great throne made from a rusty dentist’s chair he’d found on the mountainside one afternoon. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and his long cruel fingers dripped with silver rings that he’d stolen off old-age pensioners. And in his big red beard sat a dark green emerald, gleaming nastily. My word, those goblins loved that big fat jewel! ‘SHINY FING!’ they’d cry whenever it caught the light. “SHINY FING! SHINY FING! SHINY FING! SHINY FIIIIIIIIIIIIING!’ All their shouting drove the Goblin King Crazy, but he had to put up with it. It was just part of the job.

At the King’s side stood his partner in dirt, a shady character known only as Burger Wizard the Third. He wore a robe made from an old sack which said LOW QUALITY PORK CHOPS, and he was smoking a pipe full of mud.

‘Fancy a little puff, me old Goblin King?’ coughed the Burger Wizard, brandishing the pipe.

There you have it my dears. Thats where my little brain was entranced by Mr Gum! Inspiration hits me from the silliest places you can imagine.

And speaking if shiny fings, I plan to make something dazzling this weekend. Something red and dazzling.

I even have some yummy to snack on! Hiro's bros GF bought me some chocolate. RED chocolate and sesame chocolate. Food for the curiouser and curiousers.

Will be back next week with a blog sale.....I need to clear out some stuff. Please take a look items to clear will include make up from (Lunasol, Dior, NARS, Visee, Jill Stuart, Kose etc)
