Waking Meg

Arise, fair maid, for 'tis after the time of  fourteen calls of the cuckoo and we must venture forth. We must travel beyond the great river to a mysterious clearing where you will find many great chariots. One of these chariots is for your use. You must take great care that the one you take is yours, as selecting the wrong chariot will cause you great distress. You will be able to identify yours by the symbol 33A upon it. It is a great and powerful chariot that will take you beyond the great hill to the place where the keepers of children reside. Here you will be treated kindly, yet as a slave, held captive for many hours without payment or reward. Many of those under you will act as the devil's children, you must use this experience to strengthen your will...............................................

Meg! wake up! it's after seven! you are gonna miss your bus and be late for placement at the nursery!

Bully Boy Cars

Round our way there seems to be an increasing number of what can only be described as 'bully boy cars'.............................
Invariably these things are about half as large again in all directions as a normal car, with wheels as large as a truck, with the result that they are often driven down the middle of the road. This is particularly noticeable on narrow country lanes. They are NEVER driven anywhere near the side of the road and God forbid that they might have to use their nice nobbly tyres on the grass verge!
The four wheel drive system that these units possess can therefore only be for one thing........It has to be so these things can more easily scale normal cars should they come into contact with the type of thing that a pleb would drive. This can of course also happen if you are approached from behind, since the speed that these units travel at also seems to be scaled up by 50%. And I wonder whether I am still in the drivers field of vision when I am being tailgated by one of these beasts with it's 'permanently on' headlights shining directly into my rear view mirror. It is just possible that the reason I am being followed so closely is that the driver does not know that there is anything down there.
